Grace felt space folding around her.
Even blindfolded, she immediately recognized the sensation of a portal opening and closing around them. The world shifted for barely a second before solid ground settled beneath her feet once again. A soft breeze brushed against her skin, colder and fresher than the air back at the villa, carrying with it scents so vivid and natural that her exhausted mind relaxed instantly.
She recognized the scent of salt, sea, and flowers.
For a few moments, Grace stayed still, allowing her senses to absorb everything around her instead of using her powers to instantly scan the area. She could have seen through the blindfold if she wanted. As a Divine Ascendant, something as simple as darkness couldn't stop her perception anymore.
But she didn't.
Because this was Davian. And whatever he planned, she wanted to experience it properly.
