The world crumbled around Jayde Valentina and the only thing she could do was let herself fall into the abyss. The meadow she'd been walking across on her way home from HQ had been swallowed by that.. upside down tornado? Ground typhoon? It was scary, but she remembered the last words her leader had told her before she left. "It's the only way to save your world. Let yourself fall."
The words seemed senseless at the time, but in a strange way, they'd comforted her in a time where everything had become senseless and yet everyone seemed to be acting like it had always been this way. A whole building disappeared into thin air?" what building? There was never a building here." Whole guilds going MIA "you're not making any sense. What's a Thundersky?" Beyond terrifying. Jayde felt hopeless, and as she remembered those last words, she stopped. Stopped running and escaping the inevitable. She made a choice.
After all, this was what she had trained for. To take the risks necessary to save those around her, and that's exactly what she would do.
There was a moment of complete darkness, and emptiness. She could see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing. As if the world around her stopped existing. As if even time had stopped.
After a few seconds or a few hours (she couldn't have said,) the black haired girl found herself standing on solid ground again, her senses taking in her new surroundings. She was standing on what looked like an old, abandoned construction site. It smelled of dust and rusting metal. Where was she?
------
Some miles away, a man turned to look at two others. They wore metal glasses and light clothes made of some shiny, grey material. In front of them was a machine similar to a compass. It started beeping, indicating something.
"They're coming. It's happening. The Vortex seems to have brought someone.. Let's hope they can help us, before it's too late."
