Logan sped through the air toward the southern plains, but a sudden, unbearable pain wracked his body. He lost his balance as Zephyr felt him begin to convulse, a seizure overtaking the boy and causing him to slip from the bird's back.
[Logan, what happened?] Silvia called out urgently, sensing something unusual through their shared link. The connection felt distorted, as if something was deeply wrong.
Without hesitation, she urged Wyver to dive, guiding the drake to intercept Logan as Zephyr used his wind abilities to stabilize the falling boy.
As Silvia reached Logan, she pulled him onto Wyver's back and embraced him tightly. Logan clutched his chest, his face contorted with pain while his body shook, leaving Silvia deeply worried.
Logan's cries of anguish pierced the air as an unknown torment wracked his body. The mark he had placed on Alma burned as if it were on fire, and he trembled violently, gripping his shoulder in desperation.
