Panic began bubbling up in the pit of my stomach as the platform disappeared from view I didn’t have the confidence to say that I’d survive the iround at this speed Worse yet was the fact that Ithat aether was involved inindefinitely was all too real

I remembered the helpless void that I had trapped eon The sheer numbness and darkness that had sed ht chills down my spine at the mere recollection of it

The impact I felt on my back, however, snapped me back to reality I had landed on a platforlowed a soft white underneath me As my mind tried to process what had happened, another crash resounded behind is! Are you okay?” I asked asa few feet above the glohite platform

Regis looked up and around “That can’t be good”

A thick layer of aether clung evenly overthat ere blocked fro forward meant that we needed to solve so in here

As if reading an rippling as a largefrom the center of it

The expanse of purple surrounding us darkened as a towering figure burgeoned froazed up at the shadowy giant loo over us The bipedal creature was at least five ti a full set of armor of the sa with a viking hel upward As it stepped toward us, causing the entire platfor appropriate for a situation like this
