She closed her eyes with weariness, afraid that she had ruined the chance for Valerie to complete her casting.
But the crash that she had been anticipating never came. Her momentum slowed down and she came to a halt before the unthinkable could have happened.
When she opened her eyes, white color reflected in her retina as if she had seen something excessively bright.
She felt as if she had been blinded by the light but her sight returned to normal after that and she saw the light for what it truly was.
It was a white flame that felt bone chillingly cold and had a bluish centre with a snow-white exterior layer.
She was relieved to see the flame that was wrapped around her and was busy repelling the black flame.
Calista could have recognized that flame even if it had been one of her dreams. This flame had managed to beat the Black Flame of her student previously so she was aware of its prowess. It was an exact antithesis to Kyouko's.
