The world slowed down when Axel watched the bomb below him ticking down, second by second.
A little languidly still, he looked over at Rune, who tried to jerk away from the said bomb. His eyes darted over to Aster, who attempted to cover himself away in slow motion.
Despite how the time slowed, Axel could feel his heartbeat was faster than time itself. The beating of his heart reached his ears, causing them to ring as his vision became all blurry from the rush of adrenaline flowing in his veins.
In a swift motion, Axel flipped to the air, face battling the wind around him. The two necklaces made a little clank sound when they bumped into each other. The boy's fluffy locks swirled around, almost covering his eyes.
As he stood in the air, in between Aster and Rune, he stretched both of his legs and kicked the two of them in the stomach, sending them flying away from the explosive below the Vergessene boy.
