Immediately, Xenia looked down, only to notice that Helena was now missing. Even from her ridiculously high vantage point, she couldn't see a hide or hair of the Fairy Queen. Instead, the only thing she saw was the empty clearing she came from. No animals. No other fairies. Nothing.
"And here I thought there were no tricks involved…"
Xenia sighed to herself in resignation. Clearly, there was more to this trial than Helena let on. Sure, it still wasn't as dangerous as the other trials, but there was still a real danger of her falling off to her death if she wasn't careful… That was, of course, unless she used her wings.
'But I'm being watched right now,' she inwardly grimaced. 'I can risk exposing myself right when I'm about to be finished with these trials.'
