Rin turns around and around. Gigantic buildings, shaped like tetris blocks, pass her by at flashing speed and fade into the distance where before used to be a river. The sun is shaped like a donut. She’s standing on an airplane- like all others around and above and below, made entirely of wings. Although she’s flying, there’s no wind. Or sound. It’s so silent that Rin can hear her heartbeat.
ع Rin: Hehe, coo-
Nigh-instantly spirited away, mouth open, Rin finds herself princess-carried (yet again) on someone’s thick, metallic arms.
???: It's ok! Just hang on tight!
It’s the shrillest, sweetest voice ever, coming from the strangest iron beak. Bending her head backwards, Rin’s peeks from the side of the arm- and her byzantine blue eyes shot open
because, afar
she saw a monster on the hunt.
Rin chokes on her breath as she bounces on those arms. Her carrier jumps from airplane to airplane, over and over, sometimes running to win speed, sometimes steadying itself as the wings sink under its greaves. However, whatever is hunting them doesn’t let up-
???: -AAAAH!
-and the blast sends Rin spinning around, then rolling, only stopping right when her face is over the ledge of a bizarre airplane. Her mirror eyes open.
Those weird buildings start and end nowhere
and there is another sun way, way below.
The adrenaline shoots Rin up as if she was stabbed in the ass. Turning around, she finally gets a good look at her kidnapper:
Full plate armor, too much of it, hidden by a wing-like cape.
A crow shaped beak, under a baggy leather hood.
Wide shoulder plates.
Belts all over the place, to wrap it all together.
Majestic; and terrifying.
???: Keep going that way! Don’t think, just run!
It’s staggering to stand; she must have taken the brunt of whatever hit them. ‘That’s a good motto’, Rin thinks as a semaphore-headed weird flies at her- before being slashed into two perfect pieces. The long longsword is quickly stored in the sheet at the knight’s waist: golden words are written all over it
but that monster afar keeps eating the distance between them.
???: J-just run! I’ll hold the ground until you go!
It’s the epithome of ‘cute little sister’ voice, something Rin isn’t particularly fond of. Some of the airplanes behind Rin seem to align: something tells her that going that way will get her out of here
as long as she doesn’t fall forever.
