Chapter 32
PYRRHA

 

We started heading north. Dante and Nauri look out for sudden assaults. Glarion and Aerl leaded our party for now since they know where the targets are. Jack and I served as backups for both sides. 

The forest is really huge with large assortments of giant trees and wildflowers are everywhere. I also noticed that there were crystals glowing in the barks of these trees. The leaves filtered the sunlight and gave us a cool and relaxing shade. We also passed across a small river and it seems like the animals around doesn't look that ordinary. I didn't notice we already traveled for almost half an hour since I really enjoyed looking around. 

It was all going well then all of a sudden, it was a dead end. 

It's not really a dead end though if we could jump from cliff to cliff. The gap is really huge too. 

"So what now?" I asked. 

"Can your Overdrive do it?" Nauri asked Aerl. 

"No. I still can't go that far. It'll be just a waste of energy." she shook her head.

"We don't need to cross that. The targets are below us." Glarion laughed. 

"What?!" we exclaimed in unison. 

"They're down there..." Glarion looked down the edge of the cliff and pointed there.

"So all we have to do is go down?" Jack asked. 

"Just simple as that." he smiled. 

"It's too steep." I said. 

"We'll be fine." Jack patted my shoulder. 

"Let's get going!" Nauri exclaimed and jumped of the cliff. Dante followed her. 

"Wanna race?" Glarion challenged Aerl and she just smirked. Their bodies glowed bright green and orange respectively. They jumped together and turned into bright neon lights midair then flew as fast as light. 

"I'll catch you, got that?" Jack looked at me and smirked. 

"Wha-?!" I gasped as he suddenly grabbed me pushed me down the cliff. I spread my arms and legs to slow down my fall. He jumped right after and caught my hand. 

"You're doing great." he murmured. 

"Oh yeah?" I asked. 

"Yeah." he chuckled. 

Now, we dived down and fell at full speed. 

Aerl and Glarion raced down the cliff and landed earlier than everyone. Now they're arguing who landed first. 

Dante used his scythe and swung around the huge branch of a tree and landed safely on it.  

Nauri used her Air Steps and landed gracefully on the field. 

Jack and I flew down and landed safely like we were light as a feather as snow burst upon our feet.
