For what felt like an eternity, Stormi drifted in the quiet void, neither awake na trdly asleep. The sensation of floating consumed her, weightless yet heavy. There was no sound, no sensation, just an empty void stretching infinitely.

The witch nodded quickly and rushed out, leaving me with Rowena.
