Asemu shot his hands out toward the ledge, but he wasn't close enough. He fell right past, down towards the magma below.
So that was it. That was how the story of the successor of the White Wolf was going to end? Incineration inside a volcano while failing to help someone who needed it?
...No. He might be doomed, but Asemu wasn't going down without a fight. He began releasing energy from his body, frantically trying to release enough to fight the gravity pulling him down to the bubbling brew below. Instinctively, he squeezed his eyes shut. Thus, he wasn't about to witness the change he was about to undergo.
A white light seemed to emerge from within his body, and it glowed brighter and brighter. At the same time, the air around him grew more and more agitated, until there was practically a whirlwind sweeping around him. Miraculously...his freefall stopped.
That was when Asemu opened his eyes again. He realized he was hovering in midair. Between the air and the energy he was putting out, he'd managed to break his fall. What's more, he no longer felt like he was going to pass out from energy discharge.
That just left the question of what to do from here. Carefully, he tried to rotate himself so he was upright, with energy only expelling from his feet. And slowly, deliberately, he began to rise.
Somehow...somehow, it wasn't over. He was alive. Alive, and stronger than before.
