Erebus did not hesitate.
The offer Ethan had extended, a sanctuary within his own inner dimension, was more than a mere escape. It was a chance at survival.
In the Negative Plane, Erebus was a hunted king, a remnant of a forgotten era bound by chains he couldn't break.
Without a word, the primordial shadow drifted into the shimmering rift Ethan had torn into the fabric of space.
However, Ethan did not simply let the shadow wander freely through his inner world.
This was a realm of his own creation, a sanctum where his laws were absolute.
He directed Erebus toward the very heart of his dimension: the Origin Sea of Entropy and Energy.
As Erebus crossed the threshold of the rift, the environment shifted instantly.
Gone was the suffocating, cold void of the Negative Plane.
In its place was a vast, terrifying expanse that defied every law of geometry and logic Erebus had ever known.
He landed on a platform of solid, dark energy.
