To Incure An Overload's Wrath

Terra was left confused. She felt Alister's presence suddenly leave her mind and thought he might have leaped towards Draven or Cinder, but he wasn't with either of them, which puzzled her.

She frantically searched the sky and then looked down, wondering if he had jumped. Her deep blue eyes scanned every inch of the chaotic landscape below, but she still found nothing.

"Where is the young lord?" she asked, her words directed at Draven and Cinder.

Alister suddenly found himself far away from where the sandworm was raging. He was plummeting from the sky, slightly disoriented and unable to control his fall. The ground rushed up to meet him, and he landed with a massive boom, the impact creating a crater around him.

Alister slowly got to his feet, his body aching. He looked around, trying to make sense of his surroundings. The landscape was barren and unfamiliar, with strange, twisted rock formations and an eerie, unnatural stillness.
