I Became the Cute One in the Troubleshooter Squad

It truly felt like I’d become a ghost.

Even with my feet on the ground, I couldn’t feel anything. It was like I was falling endlessly downward.

Maybe this is how it feels to exist outside of gravity.

But any sense of wonder quickly turned into terror when I looked around.

Trees were being yanked from the ground like strands of hair, and the earth was crumbling like wax crayons.

If there were such a thing as hell, wouldn’t it look like this?

That thought occurred instinctively, unbidden.

‘The battle must’ve disrupted the magic keeping the Sky Garden afloat.

Well, of course—it wouldn’t be able to withstand a fight between Tempest and the Seven Calamities forever.’

Yet even as Raven held me protectively, I found myself strangely calm.

Like a spectator watching everything unfold through a screen.

Well, I’ve flown through the air with telekinesis plenty of times before.
