Chapter 99: Quick Escape & A Mont of Rest
Damon’s eyes widened at the sight above them.
The moon appeared to be falling slowly toward them, but he knew better than to trust that optical illusion. Its size made it seem as if it were barely moving, but upon a closer look, he could see how it covered a dozen inches of the sky with each second.
Damon moved fast, taking a quick step toward Nyla and grabbing her by the waist. The second he pulled her in, he activated his domain and took both of them away from the impending crash.
But the escape wasn’t so simple. Despite avoiding the initial crash of the moon against the dark sea, a different question rose... what are they going to do next?
Nyla blinked a couple of tis, surprised by not only the falling moon or the sudden change of environnt into the castle made of black ice, but also Damon’s grip on her waist, which she liked a little too much.
"What just happened?" she finally asked, her eyes moving across the black ice walls of the castle with the cautious wonder of soone who still wasn’t entirely sure of their cognition.
"The moon was falling," Damon replied simply. "So we left."
"Right." She murmured in response, her mories were still in disarray, but she slowly began to rember their first escape into Damon’s domain.
"We’ll avoid the initial crash here..." Damon began to explain, but he paused mid-explanation, not sure about the second part of it. "...Then we will get back out there and close the rift."
Nyla opened her mouth to speak, then closed it, apparently deciding that follow-up questions could wait or simply weren’t necessary.
Damon let out an exhausted exhale as he pressed his hand against his temple. The adrenaline was already gone from his body, and his stamina was also nearing its end. His legs felt like they had been chained to a sinking ship, barely moving at his command.
He was tired, deeply and thoroughly tired.
"We should get so rest
