Eli was heading towards her imminent death.
She was just a few feet away from touching the ground when...
"Hang on Eli-chan!"
Lily and the dragon she was riding approached at high speed.
She reached out her hands and materialized multiple glowing shields.
Eli touching one of the shields shattered like glass.
She kept falling as she broke the shields.
But the purpose of the shields was not to stop the fall it was to slow her down.
Being ten meters from the ground the speed at which Eli was going slowed down more and more until there was only one left.
Finally she had stopped, then the last shield broke and she fell lightly to the ground.
She touched her heart as it was beating like a train.
Lily came down and hugged her.
"I'm glad you're safe!"
"Yes. Thank you so much."
Eli was trembling as she hugged Lily, in the distance she saw the same mechanical dragon heading to attack her.
