"Brace yoursel—!"
My words were cut short as a tree branch slammed into us.
The car skidded like it was on ice as Daina tried her best to bring it under control.
For a moment, the car spun, completing a full rotation before coming to a jarring halt.
I shoved the door open and stepped out cautiously, scanning the surroundings.
The road was eerily quiet, save for a few cars slowing down to look at the scene.
But my focus abruptly shifted to the branch—a massive, unnatural thing, thick as a car and hovering ominously near us.
"What was that?" Daina asked as soon as she walked out of the car.
"Say..." I began, giving her a quick glance. "Does the World Tree randomly attack people?"
She frowned, before her gaze shifted to the tree branch with thickness close to a car, hovering in front of me.
"Don't move," she said, her voice strained.
