His spirit energy slowly touched the Space Rift.
A deep, hollow sense of distortion hit him at once.
Wilbur let out a cry, holding his ground against the attack on his soul as he extended his spirit energy further.
All of a sudden, an inhumane scream rang from the depths of Wilbur's soul, making him tremble all over.
His spirit energy retracted like a tidal wave.
Zenith drew his sword, his body lighting up with spiritual flames.
Wilbur was pale in the face, drenched with sweat.
He finally returned to his senses after some time.
It was only after making sure that there was nothing off about Wilbur that Zenith put his sword away.
"Did you find anything?" Emperor Tyler asked, overwhelmed with nerves and emotions.
Wilbur panted. "You're right. It's incredibly dangerous. I don't even know what it is."
Emperor Tyler seemed a little disappointed but still smiled. "You really are powerful. Someone else tried the same thing and ended up dead."
"What are you going to do?" asked Wilbur.
Emperor Tyler's smile turned wistful. "What is there to do? This thing's been around longer than the royal family has. All I can do is wait for something to happen and think of a way to deal with it when the time comes."
Wilbur nodded. Waiting was one of the solutions to a problem that could not be fixed.
"Call me the second something changes," said Wilbur.
Emperor Tyler smiled. "I knew you're a man of your word. Come on, let's have a drink."
He left with Wilbur, and Zenith shut the door after all of them were out.
The runes lit up, and the room was sealed once more.
The three men returned to the living room in Emperor Tyler's quarters, where he took out a bottle of aged rum and swiveled it around. "Angostura Rum. They only sold twenty bottles of this worldwide."
Wilbur said nothing. Emperor Tyler opened the bottle, and Zenith fetched two crystal goblets.
Emperor Tyler swirled the bottle around one more time before pouring himself and Wilbur a glass. "Cheers."
