Joining Taisho's Group

Theta had walked for many hours, perhaps a day already. Still, she could not see any shadow of life forms! Though the skies were bright, she could not see the sun. Gone was the thick fog, replaced by vast grassland.

The feeling of the grass under her feet, tickling her ankles and toes despite the presence of her thin and worn-out shoes her mother had gifted her a year ago.

"Spatial lock."

Time and space distorted, confirming her doubts. She could still use her magic, but it was not a hundred percent compared when she was outside the Inheritance. It was as if there was something restraining her, just like what happened when she entered the vortex.

Boom!

"Aaah! Help!"

"Stay back, Erina! Stop making things worse!"

"No! Aah! I don't want to die! Somebody! Please, help me!"

Theta's ears twitched.
