From MC's Perspective:
Darcie Lynch immediately turned on her heels and left, her silhouette quickly disappearing into the distance. I stood there for a moment, the echo of her departure lingering in the air, and made up my mind. I'd wait and see what is going to happen next.
A sense of anticipation hung in the atmosphere, the kind that comes just before a storm breaks.
Time passed slowly, and to focus, I turned my attention inward, feeling for the Gravity Mana particles around me. My recent progress in understanding the gravity rule had been like unlocking a new sense, a deeper awareness of the forces that surrounded me.
There was still one final barrier to break through—one last hurdle. Once I crossed it, I'd ascend to a level-7 Wizard. That thought sent a ripple of excitement through me.
