Aiden stared at the floating stones, the way they hovered over nothing but open sky. The waterfall roared beside them, the mist making the air damp and cool.
He wasn't afraid of heights, but this was something else.
There were no railings and no safety measures- just a thin trail of floating rocks leading to an island that looked impossibly far away.
Adrian exhaled sharply beside him. "We're really doing this, huh?"
Ivara had already stepped forward, testing the first floating platform with her foot. It held steady, not even wobbling under her weight. "Seems solid enough," she said, stepping fully onto it. She turned to them, grinning. "Come on, unless you all want to look like cowards in front of a second-year."
Cypris, still standing on one of the stones ahead, tilted her head with amusement. "She's got a point."
Sevan muttered something under his breath before taking a deep breath and stepping onto the first stone himself.
