Merlin tilted his head faintly.
"You possess remarkable talent for someone your age," he admitted calmly.
Then—a moment later Merlin blurred through the air appearing next to her.
His lips curled into a gentle smile, the glow in his eyes intensifying.
His fingers briefly brushed her shoulder.
Clara's eyes widened.
"What did he..."
An overwhelming force crashed through her body instantly.
It felt like the world itself had suddenly become infinitely heavier.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The floor beneath Clara shattered violently as invisible pressure drove her downward.
Cracks spread across the chamber in massive spiderweb patterns while the frozen ground collapsed beneath her feet.
Her knees slammed into the fractured marble floor, sending a jolt of blinding pain through her body.
Her vision momentarily turned white.
The violent impact sent shockwaves throughout the hall.
