THUD!
They hit ground (Valkyrie and Bulb), rolling across cold dirt and dust. For a moment, there was nothing. No sound. No movement. Just the silence of something buried deep beneath the earth.
Valkyrie groaned softly, pushing herself up. The darkness was absolute— dense and suffocating. She couldn't even see her own fingers. "Bulb?" she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
"I'm here," his voice answered from somewhere near, low and steady, a comfort in the void. "Are you hurt?"
"No… I'm not hurt" She took a slow breath and lifted her hands. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yes I am, Damn" he cursed under his breath coughing uncontrollably.
Then— Blink.
Valkyrie raised her hands slowly, the darkness swallowing everything around her. Then, whoom— light burst softly from her palms.
Golden and colored light unfurled like liquid fire, rippling through the air in graceful waves. The glow clung to her fingers and trailed upward, casting faint halos across her face.
