“Slow down or stop if it gets to be too much, okay? I don’t want you to get hurt.” “Okay,” I agree. I shift more weight onto my toes and propel myself forward.

the little girl says “Ugh Treasure you’re no fun” Saturn says as she swirls around causing her to lose her footing and start to fall towards the edge of the cliff “SATURN NO” Treasure yells and I don’t know what comes over me because I rush out of the trees and when I realize I won’t catch her in time I pull some of earths magic and I send a rush of wind coming from under the girl which throws her back onto the dirt

The Critic raised his hand, and the world "Slowed Down." It was a visceral, soul-shredding sensation. Silas felt his heartbeat stretching, each thud taking minutes to complete.
