"How do we get across? Unless you've grown wings..." Tolin hadn't finished speaking before he felt a powerful force at his waist!
"Ahhhhhhhh——!" Tolin only had time to let out a pitched scream as his body drew an arc through the air. He flailed wildly, finally managing to grab hold of a protruding rock edge at the last possible moment before crashing into the opposite cliff face.
Thud!
The enormous inertia made his face slam fiercely against the cold rock wall, sending a sharp pain through his nose as warm blood gushed out instantly.
But he couldn't worry about any of that, as the joy of surviving surged through his mind: "You really did it, Gleam! I..."
He excitedly turned to praise his companion, only to see a burly figure already leaping into the air!
Gleam was airborne, but unfortunately, due to a short running start, he didn't have enough height, and it was clear he wouldn't reach the edge.
