NovelEnglishPushing my mastery over the gravity well to its limits, I begin to rocket upwards toward the golden city. Enshrouded by luminous clouds, the city radiates a warm light, turning the mist into a halo. Somewhere beyond that obstruction, my sibling is waiting.
Frustration is boiling up insidewith every passing second. I just wish I understood what was happening. The thread of Will connectingand the captive is thinning, growing weaker, and I have no idea why.
What the heck are they doing to her in there?! Why is she growing so weak? How is her Will being sapped?
The questions don't matter, I can push them aside. Who cares what they are doing in there, I'm going to save her anyway. The closer I get, the better I'm able to hin on her location. It's not easy to see clearly through the ever present cloud that hovers around the Atreum capital, but I'm starting to hin on the location. Unsurprisingly, I catch glimpses of a vast cathedral right where I believe the Will is flowing from.
Because of course I do.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that I have a location, I rocket forwards as fast as I can possibly fall, if you take my meaning. Turns out a creature with my mass can fall rather quickly.
Another flash of light blindsas I assRathwyn and co teleport in again. I'd really like to know how they do that, but I don't have tfor lessons right now. Nor do I have tto deal with their nonsense.
Once again, I dedicate a portion of my minds to fending off their attempts to restrain me, or form a mental bridge. However, one of them manages to bend and twist their mana in such a way that it eludes my grasp, zigging and zagging this way and that until finally it snags ontoand the bridge snaps into place.
Of course it was Rathwyn.
[How in the heck do you even do that?]Well… yes. Of course I am.
[Of course they are going to try and stop me, I knew that going in.]
It simply doesn't matter. Brushing aside the mages, I hin on the Cathedral and orient myself towards it. If all goes well, I'll drop on that stupid building like an ant-shaped comet. Once I crash through the roof, I can start hunting around for the missing ant. Hopefully, not too many bystanders get caught up in the mess, but honestly, that's not my priority. I have to find and rescue the captive as quickly as I possibly can.
[If you get much closer, the city is going to defend itself!] Rathwyn warns me, his mental voice growing desperate.
I ignore him.
I'm still going.
All of my senses calive the closer I get. The golden cloud blocks a lot of my sight, but my mana sense is as sharp and active as I can make it. Whatever is going to cmy way, I'm as ready to deal with it as I can be.

Ah nads.
When a powerful wave of thought rolls over me, my heart sinks deep in my thorax as I try to desperately find the source of the voice. I've only heard one mental communication that comes close to this, and that was Torrifex. I killed that guy, so hopefully I can deal with whatever this is as well.
Better yet, I hope they decide not to fightat all. I'm not a threat to the city! I hope!
Where the heck is this monster?!
That's when I see it. The eye. At first, I think it's in the cloud, a giant monster, obstructed by the cloud which glows in the golden light emitted from the city. Then my perspective shifts, and I get a better sense of what I'm seeing.
[A BOLD CREATURE, TO CSO BRAZENLY INTO MY DOMAIN.]
A giant, clawed hand scrapes through the sky, reaching for me, and I start to wonder just how the heck I'm going to get past this stupid thing.
