Everything happened too quickly for Islinda to comprehend. One moment she was running for her life, and the next, a deep cloak of darkness enveloped her, shrouding her in its embrace. It felt as though she was being transported away, her senses disoriented as her feet were lifted off the ground and her vision swirled, darkness consuming her.
It was almost akin to traveling through a portal, but this was different. There was no reflux action or nausea that usually accompanied teleportation over such distances in the blink of an eye. Instead, Islinda was enveloped in a thick blanket of darkness, carrying her through.
Despite the darkness surrounding her, she felt an unusual warmth, which was confusing. She should have screamed in terror, but the comforting embrace of the darkness held her in awe. Suddenly, as swiftly as it had enveloped her, the darkness receded, leaving Islinda standing in a new place, bewildered yet strangely intrigued.
