Chapter 3: Beautiful
As Elian continued to plummet, he spread his limbs to slow down his descent.

With much difficulty, he asked the voice who had come to help.
"So what now, lady? I don't have a lot of time, so you might want to hurry..."
"I am uncertain if I should be alarmed or impressed. How are you so calm?"
"Haha! Do I sound calm? I'm terrified. But maybe it's because I find your voice so pleasant."
"Spare me from your nonsense, boy. Look toward the left wall. Along it, you'll find a crater unlike those created by the ants. Do you see it?"

"I'm sorry, I can't see anything."
"Use mana to enhance your eyes, you stupid brat. Quickly. Your window is closing!"
"I don't have any mana! I'm a Defect! I have no Talent!"
