In a spacious and professional meeting suite, an azure orb, protected by an outer layer of translucent-red barrier, hovered a meter and a half above two youngsters — both plopped face down on the floor, bodies covered by the same barrier.
The azure orb flickered.
Once…twice, then, on the third time, two figures suddenly materialized out of thin air.
An ashen-haired, tan-skinned old man's chest swallowed the orb and formed the rest of the body.
Beside him, a dashing young man with alabaster hair, olive skin, and captivating amber eyes stood dumbfounded, still in disbelief.
"It…worked?" muttered Nando in bewilderment and disbelief.
Soon, the realization that he would be living among his kin once more — albeit ones from a different world — slowly sank in.
His once-gray world slowly regained color, and before the old man in a youthful body knew it, tears were already threatening to fall.
"Hahaha! It worked!! It worked, Big Ed!!" he roared in sheer joy.
