"—at?" the moment he finished speaking, his eyes went wide and he immediately looked around him.
"What? Where are we?" he started getting a little scared of what had just happened. "What just happened?"
"I teleported us," Ning said. "It's one of the things I can do. Don't mind it."
"Tele…port?" Reever was still confused. "Aether users can do that?"
"Yes," Ning said, not bothering to explain some more. "Come on. The village is just over there."
"Huh?" Reever looked around. "Oh, we're in the desert?" It took him some time to realize that.
Ning started walking and Reever followed. He slowly touched his ring and got a little confused. "Did you really use Aether?" he asked.
"Of course," Ning said.
"Hmm, then why didn't my Aether glow?" Reever asked. "It didn't even vibrate."
