Without realizing it, I closed my eyes, and my chest clenched with fear. “Don’t worry, I got you.” Samantha spoke as I felt her move behind me. “Reposition your body like this.” She said as she moved my limbs to fan around me. “This will keep your momentum steady. If you want to go faster, you can do an accelerated free fall, which involves bringing your limbs together and assuming a diving position.”

I stuck my tongue out and tried to reach for the drop I could feel cascading down my cheek, but it wasn’t accessible. My fingers began to slip, the cold, damp surface offering little grip as panic surged through me. In an instant, I lost my footing completely, leaving only my desperate fingers to cling to the edge—my only barrier between life and the churning abyss below. “Cassie, I can’t! I’m falling!” I called out, my voice trembling.

I try to grab for something, anything to hold onto, but there’s nothing. My body tumbles through the air, a scream ripping from my body as I fall.

Rushing in her heels, she abruptly slipped. “Argh!” she cried out as her body fell to the floor uncontrollably. As Charmine fell, the antique vases and scrolls nearby were destroyed as every paper was smudged by one another. A loud and crisp tearing sound was heard as the papers were torn in her fall. Eight writings were torn apart, the scrolls landed on the floor, and the shafts cracked upon falling. Charmine fell to the floor and landed on the antique vases. Those vases were in a pile and thus, as she fell, every vase fell onto the floor as they shattered.

Rosette’s POV Everything went silent. Not quiet. Not calm. Gone. The pressure vanished. The resistance disappeared. The endless structure of loops and fragments— Collapsed.

But I felt it— A sharp pull— A violent return— And suddenly— Air slammed back into my lungs. Back to Reality I staggered. My knees nearly buckled—

Here and now. The fall was so sudden that instead of words, a growl escaped his throat. He was knocked several times on rocky ledges, turned over, whirled in the air. And before his eyes flashed the opening mouth of fiery horror. He snarled again, forced his claws out, and stabbed them into the rushing stone wall. The fall slowed, then stopped completely, he was jerked to a rough surface, he hung on his claws and looked up. It was far from the end. The pale strip of sky seemed completely inaccessible.

"FALLING FEELS EXACTLY LIKE FLOATING UNTIL IT DOESN'T." MAYA. The problem with falling was that it didn't feel like falling. That was the thing nobody told you. You expected it to feel like a drop — sudden, alarming, the floor disappearing under your feet with enough force that you knew exactly what was happening and could at least name it while it was occurring. You expected to feel it the way you felt other bad things. Clearly. Unmistakably. With enough warning to brace.

I lose my balance and fall. I hear someone scream my name, but I'm already falling. It's fast and I barely have time to think at all. I hit a rock hard surface. Black.

Cole stumbled to his feet and bolted toward the stairs, his legs trembling so badly that he missed a step. With a loud thud, he tumbled down the staircase, landing in a heap at the bottom. The sharp pain brought a sliver of clarity to his frantic mind. Gritting his teeth, he grabbed the railing and pulled himself up, limping as he made his way back up the stairs. This time, he moved more slowly, and thankfully, there were no more accidents.

"Pay attention to shattering it!" "I'm making an effort!" Her voice was strained as she yelled. Cracks started to spread out over the walls, and the earth trembled under us. "Get on with whatever you're doing!" Marcus braced himself against the wall and roared. Lisa's scream of struggle caused the rune to fracture, its light vanishing into thin air. Everything was silent for a while. Then we started to plummet once again as the earth gave way underneath us. "Never again!" As we fell into darkness, Chelsea's cry reverberated.
