Ahcehera darted through the forest, her enhanced boots propelling her faster than the corrupted beasts chasing her.
She leaped over roots, ducked under low-hanging branches, and weaved through the dense underbrush.
But just as she thought she was gaining ground, an ominous energy surged in the air behind her.
A portal crackled to life, swirling with black and purple energy. Before she could change her trajectory, its gravitational pull locked onto her.
"No!" she shouted, digging her heels into the ground and activating her boots' resistance mode.
But the pull was too strong. Her feet slid against the dirt, and her mental power couldn't anchor her fast enough.
With a final, desperate attempt to grab onto a nearby tree, she was sucked into the vortex, disappearing from sight.
