Leo was about to hit the ground, his body smashed into pieces when Caelindra appeared and caught his body before landing down. The moment she snatched him mid-fall, her armour erupted like a violent burst of gold and green, swirling from the force of her descent.
BOOMMMM!!!
The force of her landing shattered the scorched ground into pieces, wide cracks spidering outward as if the earth itself feared her force. Caelindra's boots carved deep impressions into the stone as she steadied both herself and Leo, holding him with a grip firm enough to reassure yet gentle enough to comfort.
She looked at Leo, who was staring at her with wide eyes as if he couldn't believe it was truly her. His chest heaved, his breath stuck between shock and relief, the world spinning around him while her face remained painfully real.
"Caelindra..." he muttered as he touched her cheeks. His fingers trembled, brushing against her warm skin like someone reaching for the last miracle left in existence.
