Few Minutes Earlier
Olivia (Inngirl) POV
"Ow… damn it," Olivia muttered.
Her head throbbed as she lifted it, the sound of her own voice echoing faintly in the dark.
She blinked a few times, then squinted.
It took her a moment to understand what she was seeing.
Or rather, what she wasn't.
Everything around her was pitch black.
She slowly pushed herself up and looked around.
"Where in the seas did I land now…?"
The ground beneath her felt uneven, cracked, and cold.
Far above, barely visible, was a tiny circle of pale blue light. The sky.
"Looks like the ground gave way. And not by a little, either."
She judged the distance with a practiced eye.
"Reckon it dropped about a kilometer. Nasty fall, that."
Despite the overwhelming force that had slammed down on her earlier, she felt no pain beyond a dull ache.
There was no blood, no broken bones. Not even torn clothes.
She rolled her shoulders and stretched, then took a step forward.
Her foot struck something solid.
"Ow!"
