'No other choice.'
The thought cut through my mind as the wyvern loomed above us, casting its shadow above us.
Nisha, however, had already made her decision. She yelled at me with an urgency that brooked no argument.
"We don't have time to think about what's next! Just do it!"
She swam forward as she said this, and the water didn't resist her — in fact, it surged beneath her, carrying her with unnatural speed.
'Kassie…'
As I called out mentally, Kassie lunged forward like she was born for the water, swimming along with the current in smooth, powerful strokes. Behind us, the wyvern was already diving in for another attack, its claws extended and gleaming.
Sadly for it, we reached the edge of the rushing water before it reached us. The current thrashed and rushed around my body, dragging us forward — and the edge, as I had suspected, dropped away into nothing.
A vast, colossal waterfall.
