Violet was no longer on the ground.

She was suspended mid-air, completely weightless, as if the earth itself had let her go. Spirals of raw energy coiled around her, glowing brighter with each slow turn.

Her body was hovering at least six feet off the ground, her limbs slack, and her head tilted slightly back. Violet’s hair floated around her like a halo of amethyst flames, moving as if underwater. It was quite a beautiful sight that left those who stared in awe.

Micah’s eyes went wide. "RUN! RUN NOW!"

He didn’t wait and bolted.
