"This should be one of the last of them..." Stella muttered under her breath as she floated at the top of the Sky Mountain area.
The wind whipped around her at this altitude, it was cold and thin and below, a Bone Wyvern prowled among the rocky outcroppings, its skeletal frame creaking with each movement as it searched for prey.
It hadn't noticed her yet.
She raised her hand deliberately, letting a rune materialize in the air before her palm. The symbol glowed with intense heat and the monster's body instantly went ablaze, burning to ashes within seconds.
The flames consumed bone that shouldn't burn, reducing the bone creature to nothing.
"Mom..." Mynes floated beside her, maintaining the levitation spell with practiced ease.
Her daughter's face was distraught, and Stella knew the reason all too well. It had been two months since the red sky had receded, vanishing as suddenly as it had appeared.
