'Alright, calm down, Aether, it's not like your dangeling from a height that could kill you...'
Aether smiled nervously, looking down at his feet, seeing the distance between them and the ground. He had fallen from many heights, like that time with the staircase in Frozen Crown, or just recently with the end of the world inside the desert.
But both were infinite; this wasn't.
It wasn't like he was going to have time to find a way to survive while he was already falling. So he needed to think of something.
But he was... out of ideas.
What could he use...
His ability was useless; it wasn't like speaking to some shadows and learning the exact height was going to help him in any way. He also couldn't use any skills, since how would making a rock repeat his words help?
He could make it repeat his scream, for when he feels that way, it was more dramatic, but it was better if he didn't fall in the first place.
So it came down to relics.
