Ahcehera had barely taken a step forward when an unseen force suddenly wrapped around her, like invisible tendrils pulling her into the unknown.
A vortex of swirling black and violet light burst open beneath her feet, sucking her downward before she could even cry out.
Rohzivaan and Richmond reached out, their hands just inches away from grabbing her, but the portal sealed shut in an instant.
She was gone.
Ahcehera's body tumbled through a tunnel of shimmering light. Gravity twisted, pulling her in multiple directions at once.
Her breath caught in her throat, and her stomach lurched. It was like falling and flying at the same time, her body weightless yet dragged through the unseen fabric of space.
The portal distorted time, stretching moments into eternity before finally spitting her out.
She crashed onto the ground, her limbs sinking into something unexpectedly soft. Warmth wrapped around her as the scent of salt and fresh foliage filled her senses.
