As The sky around her stretched endlessly, a pale expanse of blue that seemed to swallow everything beneath. The wind whipped her hair wildly, tugging at strands like invisible fingers, making them dance across her face. Clouds drifted lazily, soft and bright, but their beauty did nothing to ease the storm of panic inside her chest.
Dila's tears glistened as they pooled in her eyes. "Okay, okay… I'll calm down…" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling with every word. Slowly, tentatively, she tried to adjust her posture, shifting on the broom as if coaxing it to understand her fear.
But the broom wasn't cooperating. It wobbled and rotated just enough to make her heart race again, drifting sideways as the wind snatched at her robes. "H-help! H-help!" she screamed, her voice breaking and carried away by the open sky.
☆ Master, please! Don't panic! ☆ Nari's voice sounded in her mind again, sharp yet comforting. ☆ Focus on me. Breathe. You can do this! ☆
