Ezekiel POV
"Are you ready to enter, Ezekiel?" Viola asked.
I looked ahead at the cliff and the dark ocean stretching far below, still wondering where exactly this gate she mentioned was supposed to be. No matter how much I looked, there was nothing unusual about the place.
Then Viola suddenly began walking toward the edge.
Step by step, she moved closer to the cliff until she stood only a few steps away from the drop.
"Viola, wait… be careful."
The words had barely left my mouth when she took another step forward.
And fell.
For a moment my mind went blank as I watched her body disappear over the edge of the cliff. I saw it clearly, yet my thoughts couldn't catch up with what had just happened.
But my body moved before my mind could.
I rushed forward and jumped after her without hesitation, the only thought in my head being that I had to catch her and pull her back.
The wind rushed violently past my ears as we fell.
