The swirling portal of dark mist materialized out of nowhere.
They didn't stop. Couldn't.
The surge of cold, sinister magic crawled over them like an infection, warping around them and invading deep into their senses.
A sharp, piercing sound rang through Neveah's ears. A force pulled at her, and she propelled forward out of her control.
As the ringing faded, she was ejected out of a portal, crashing into the ground harshly.
Neveah's eyes snapped open, and for a moment, the world swayed around her. Her head throbbed harshly, and her vision spun.
She shook her head forcefully, finding herself staring up at a glaring light.
'Jian.' She thought.
A moment ago, she'd been riding. And now...
Neveah attempted to get up to her feet, but she crumbled back to the ground, a sharp pain lancing through her side.
She hissed through gritted teeth. She'd definitely broken a few ribs.
