Mastering His First Skill

Feeling his body speed up toward the ground, Astaroth did the only thing that came to mind. He activated Thousand Thoughts.

His perception of time slowed down to a point where even his fall was happening inch by inch. This allowed his brain to settle down and think of a solution to his predicament.

It was too early for him to switch melds to Morpheus, as it was freshly on cooldown. As for his other meld, it was still on cooldown too, and it wouldn't have helped.

The closest tree to him was metres away from where he would land. His next thought was to use the Ad Astra, in a form that would allow him to grab onto the cliff.

But when he looked at his distance from the surface, he scratched that option out. He was already too far away.

He tried using Propel on his body to launch himself upward, but could only apply enough force to slow his fall. He felt the jerk of the wind spell hitting his back, but it was hardly enough to push him.
