Chapter 17 - REALM BORDER GATE

*[EXT. ABADDON HA'SHEOL – REALM BORDER GATE – TWILIGHT]*

*The landscape is hauntingly majestic — a towering obsidian gate stands between realms, laced with glowing runes and watched over by a massive, three-headed hound, *GARMON*, its chained heads breathing cold mist into the air.*

*A gentle *whoosh* signals the arrival of *AISHA HELGA da EL KOVAR* — a young, deceptively innocent girl in a royal dress laced with enchantments. Her eyes glimmer mischievously. She hums softly, hands behind her back as she walks toward the gateway.*

*GATEKEEPER (bowing low):*

*"Princess Aisha… Your presence here is... unexpected."*

*AISHA (in playful tone):*

*"Mhm! I'm just going to visit a friend… in the other realm. Nothing big."*

*The Gatekeeper stiffens, sweating slightly. Garmon growls softly, one head sniffing, one dozing, and the third growling low.*

*GATEKEEPER:*

*"Forgive me, Your Highness… but Lord Modeus gave *strict* orders. You're not to leave the realm under any circumstance."*

*AISHA (tilting her head, softly):*

*"Oh? Did he now…?"*

*She steps forward, her eyes glowing faintly violet. Her voice remains sweet but carries weight.*

*AISHA:*

*"Did he also tell you what happens to those who *disobey* his blood?"*

*The Gatekeeper gulps. Garmon whimpers and lowers its heads. Aisha giggles, skipping past the trembling guard.*

*AISHA (playfully booping Garmon's nose):*

*"Good doggo. Watch the gate for me, okay?"*

*The three heads nod nervously. The gate creaks open with a burst of shimmering light. Aisha steps through the portal, still giggling, twirling once before vanishing.*

*GATEKEEPER (muttering to himself):*

*"I am *so* getting incinerated for this…"*

*FADE OUT.*
