From the corner of my eye, I could see Amila trying to take on Lahar by herself. I wanted to help her, but I couldn't let myself get distracted. The wound on my leg throbbed painfully and my knees wanted to buckle.
Suddenly I felt something under my feet shift, and I glanced back. The edge of the chasm was crumbling away, causing me to be closer to the void. Behind the purple-winged boy fighting me, I could see one of his companions. Brown wings, brown eyes. Earth powers. I didn't stand a chance.
A loud crack sounded, and I tumbled backwards. I tried to spread my wings, but I was out of practice and exhausted.
I wrapped my wings around me to, hopefully, survive the fall.
