Emily's heart was pounding so hard that she was afraid it would jump out of her chest at any given moment. Sweat trickled down her temples and landed on her shoulders as she continued to run.

After using a water attack on the rogues, she fled from that place and ended up in what looked like a forest. She used her powers to feel the presence of Kaiden and Shadow but the connection was very faint, as if they were located at the other end of the globe.

Realizing that running alone wouldn't solve the problem, she finally came to a stop and tried to catch her breath. She stood there alone in the dark forest, surrounded by the eerie glow of moonlight filtering through the thick canopy above.
