Lief: "Yeah, right. So none of what you said makes any lick of sense, so I'm gonna assume you're a funky hybrid and move along with my day. Anyways, whatcha doing out here by yourself?"
———————————————————————
Ethereal isn't mad about the comment- most of my other characters would be, but Ethereal just... don't care about other's opinions of them. Instead, they're curious as to what Lief could think they're a hybrid of.

Winter and the Dry Season is FREE for five days!
Winter Solstice is here and Winter is unenthused about their Season; however, as ice and snow storms are cast into Weather Maker to disperse, an error catches Winter's eye. They investigate to find that the error is much worse than they can ever fear. Someone - another Season - is interfering and creating a Dry Season. With the help of a cheerful weather worker, Winter must find a solution to this problem or it could have devastating effects on the Mortal Realm.

World Borders & Traversing Interspace
Even though each world is somewhat beholden to its own rules, there are ships that cross those boundaries to traverse an 'Interspace' which is visually very similar to general depictions of space travel. Ships of varying build and engineering methodology as unique as the many worlds in the universe able to travel the lanes between worlds.
The reason this method of travel is possible is because these crafts are made with shattered boundary pieces from the Worlds' borders, and as such, can be used to cross between said boundaries. This method of travel is scarce knowledge as often it takes a lot to be able to tear away at the borders of a World. The travel is a bit slower, but is a more reliable alternative to Warping, which has high volatility and one's route can easily be interrupted by outside forces.
You don't need a lot of it either to pass through. One small piece to can fit in the palm of your hand is usually enough per person. Obviously, for larger aircrafts, the amount needs to be proportional to the amount of mass passing through, but larger pieces are still quite rare. Mining these Barrier Shards is possible if one has the power, tools and time, but excessive extraction is harmful to the health of the world, itself. That said, Worlds tend to have Gateways to others made either through natural or unnatural means.
Usually on a smaller scale, it's not that big a deal because the border repairs itself, except for areas where Leylines and Gateways exist, as passages that connect to the Ethereal and the trails made via travel often causes the Barrier to heal in a way that accounts for such movement. This is often beneficial to the worlds that do so as beings from other worlds bring with it unique lifeforms with which to evolve from should they pass while globetrotting.
However, if something on a larger destructive scale were to happen, the complete destruction of a world's border can cause the world's core to sink back into the Ethereal Realm. This is because Aether attracts more Aether. Life finds a way, and will inherently seek out more life. And when such a dense core of a World, brimming with life energy is left to the nature elements of reality, there is little keeping it there in the physical realm.
The metaphysical pull of energy results in the aether tearing a hole through the plane of reality. This process of falling out of reality creates the interspace equivalent of a black hole, with shards of the lost world to either float about open to the elements of the interspace, or sink into the unreality of the ethereal realm.
For most people that means their physical form ceases to be and they're left eternally in a spiritual form, or those with the imagination or strength to endure it can become entities with slight authority over the Ethereal Realm, able to traverse the space or create their own Provinces at will.
Were the borders to fall from worlds on a massive scale, it could tear apart the fabric of the universe, and cause other planes and realms to rubberband into one another and collide, wreaking more havoc in ways unpredictable.
