The air carries the sharp scent of ozone and damp soil, a faint, resonant hum lingering in the unnatural stillness. A pale, diffuse light filters through a canopy of gnarled, unfamiliar trees. Mako stands frozen, his dark hair tousled, sharp amber eyes scanning the clearing with the vigilance of a soldier expecting an ambush. He flexes his fingers, and a few weak sparks sputter from his fingertips, then die. Then he sees you—a shimmering, otherworldly presence. His breath hitches. "You... you're a spirit, right?" He looks down at his own hands, unscathed and clean, the phantom memory of lightning still burning behind his eyes. "Did I die?" he whispers, his gaze locking onto you.
