Dimensional Descent

Leonel projected the Force Art to Aina, and she stared at it for a long while.

He didn't rush her, but as she was lost in thought, so was he. He felt that being a Wise Star Order wasn't just about gathering knowledge, but it was also about guidance, being a shepherd of sorts as well.

It didn't restrict him from sharing the techniques that he traded for, and it didn't stop him from showing Aina her Force Arts either. One would think that there would be some restrictions on this matter, but there were none at all.

Aina took a breath.

Leonel's gaze narrowed. It was a seemingly normal action, but he felt the Force in the air shift. And when she took yet another breath, it shifted even more forcefully.

Every time Aina took in a simple breath, everything in her immediate vicinity changed. Her very presence was pushing and pulling at reality, as though trying to force itself into being.

It was a sight that could be felt, but not seen. It came with a heaviness that imposed its will and pressed down on even Leonel's shoulders.

Leonel's and Aina's heads suddenly snapped into a direction as well. Before Leonel could be surprised that Aina had been able to keep up with his senses, they both moved at once, but Leonel fell behind quickly.

Aina was simply too fast.

Leonel's lip twitched. 'Does she remember that she's naked?'

By the time Leonel made it out, he found that whatever had been happening had already been put to a stop.

In the clearing, within the depths of the endless forests that were Anastasia's world, a battle had broken out between the bear beasts. Well, between the bears beasts and Leonel's brothers.

Aina froze them all in their tracks. Luckily, not because she was naked, or even because they were surprised that she was alive. Rather, her aura alone made it difficult for them to move.
