The moment Lira stepped onto the first floating platform, she felt the shift immediately. Gravity tugged unevenly at her boots; the ground beneath seemed to float more than rest. Her journal nearly slipped from her grasp as she stumbled slightly, catching herself on a crystalline railing.
Serelyth hovered effortlessly, wings tucked in, tail swaying for balance. Even in her humanoid form, the dragon's instincts adjusted quickly. "Ah, this is trivial," she said lightly, glancing at Lira with a smirk. "Floating earth, altered gravity… a child of the skies would find this simple. But I can see why it bothers you."
Lira frowned, testing a small jump, landing awkwardly on a platform that tilted dangerously under her weight. "Simple?" she echoed. "This is… disorienting. Everything moves differently. Even my balance is off. I feel like I'm constantly falling."
Serelyth chuckled. "Exactly. And that is why you train."
