"Aveline!" Orion's face changed instantly. Aveline had grown up running alongside Aurora and was an experienced runner. How could she have fallen after just three hundred meters?

"Orion, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," Aveline said as she got up, trying to act as though nothing had happened.
