''Keep up!'' Raegar called over his shoulder, his voice teasing as he vaulted over a gap between buildings, his boots skidding on a slanted roof.
Selene laughed, her yellow eyes full of excitement. ''You're dreaming if you think you'll outrun me!" she shot back, her fiery Aether sparking as she launched herself forward, overtaking him.
Their laughter echoed, blending against the city's hum, as they weaved through spires and ducked under banners. As they neared, the towering stone wall loomed ahead. Raegar slowed, his gaze flicking to Selene, who nodded with a fearless grin.
''Ready for the grand exit?'' he asked excitedly.
''Born ready,'' she replied, her ears twitching as she braced herself.
Together, they sprinted toward the final rooftop, their Aether flaring in unison, his wind swirling, her fire crackling. They leaped from the edge, soaring over the city wall in a breathtaking arc, the ground far below a blur of fields and winding paths.
