A year had gone by since the three of them entered the portal and now only the two of them stood. Gene was looking out into the vast space, the Pearl of Infinite Dreams around his neck.Besides him stood Zoso, now dressed in robes indicating an arch-mage.“The Grand Ritual has been enacted. The next part will happen soon” Gene said in a matter of fact way.Zoso looked over to his friend and said “It doesn’t have to. You can still stop it.“But I won’t” Gene turned his head to look into Zoso’s eyes. The two young men looked at each other, knowing that he was not going to change his mind.“This will Kill you” Zoso said.“This will transform me” Gene grabbed the pearl and started to focus his mind.Zoso put his hand on his friend’s shoulder and in a weaken voice said “Please Gene, don’t...”Gene took the hand and held it to his lips in a long kiss.“I know you’re still angry about what happened to Jenny but believe me when I tell you the three of us will be together again, as if none of this had happened.Zoso wrapped his arms around his friend in a last-ditch effort for one more hug, but Gene pulled them separate.“You must go. If you stay the Great Rite will tear you apart. ““But what will I do while waiting for your return?? I’ll be dead by the time you come back.”Gene smiled and gently kissed his friend on the lips and said: “I give to you, Zoso, Master of the Magical Arts, the stewardship over all the Realms of Pangaea, and the immortal life that goes with it.”Zoso’s eyes showed he was going to say something else, but Gene cut it short by saying “Begone now! The Great Rite is here!” and with that, Zoso was teleported out of harms way.The nebula of dream and matter created by the Great Rite had expanded and now was upon Gene.He kept holding the Pearl and his lips moved with no sound escaping them as he finished the Great Rite.As the cloud took over, Gene’s atoms started to break away and scatter into the cloud. The pain was unmeasurable, but Gene didn’t bat an eye as his whole being scattered and mixed into the Great Nebula.What happened next only took minutes but was eons in the making as the Realm of Pangaea formed and transformed, and the life on its surface and deep within along with it. Minutes later, the world of Pangaea was formed.</blockquote>
