A figure in a dark cloak stood nearby. It might have been watching him, but it was impossible to tell. Their face was hidden beneath a hood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike walks slowly along the path, nobody else in sight. He walks for about 10 minutes until he reaches a canyon. He looks around to make sure no one else is around. A bird begins to sing in the distance. I'm going to miss that sound. But it's better this way. I won't be able to hurt anyone else. Mike steps up to the canyon edge and looks down. Hundreds of feet below a river flows at the canyon floor. I'm coming home Dad. Mike places a foot into the empty air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn’t expect it to work on…whatever she is.” He shrugged and hopped out of the tree, grabbing something out of his pocket and talking into it. “Thorn? I know you hate these things, uh…want to come get me? I got the one who’s been following us.” @The Wandering Wizard A low guttural growling and the howling of angry wind flew back through it. Soon enough Thorn landed from the sky with Lilyana and Eddie and pulls out a second set of handcuffs. Cuffing one hand from Lil and Eddie to Aster. @Aeoryi Quote Hehehe the love ️ is cuffed in a triangle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ends up falling all the way he'll survive cuz magic healing. He doesn't know that tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hesitated a moment, but his decision had been made. He stepped off the edge once more. Then, the world shifted. As he began to fall, everything seemed to tilt, so what was once back became down. He ended up sprawled on the edge of the canyon, somehow back where he started. How that possibly could have worked spatially was lost to him in the disorientation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came to a stop and tried to stand up. He fell to his knees, the unusual view too much to take in.
