"ak, w-what is this!?"
Losing her footing, Alya tried to move closer to the base and pull out her sword; however, she couldn't focus enough to use her sword.
Glancing around, Alya tried to discern if she was the one being affected by this strange phenomenon.
"I-is anyone else feeling this!?"
Yet, as she glanced around and saw Zach running normally, without any signs of the ground shaking below him, she immediately realized something was off.
*RUMBLE*
Then, right as Zach was about to reach her, the ground finally collapsed, causing Alya to free-fall downwards.
Thankfully, realizing something was off, Alya already managed to pull her sword out, but that didn't stop Zach from worrying.
"w-what, ALYA!?"
"WHE-WHAT HAPPENED!?"
As Alya fell deeper, Zach's screams slowly faded away, and darkness slowly overwhelmed the light.
Knowing that the fate of the statue, whether it fell or not, depended on her, Alya immediately plunged her ice sword into the ground as she landed.
