Chương 47: Chapter 47: The Mistorium

The vortex grabbed Vix the moment she touched it, wrapping itself around her feet and suctioning her deeper inside. She whirled around and around, her eyes half-shut, feeling like a toy in a dog’s mouth, shaken wildly back and forth.

The pull on her body became stronger as she sank further into the vortex. She was pulled toward the center, faster and faster, the world around her a green and black blur. Vix only had a moment to suck in a deep breath. Then she reached the very center. Vix was pulled entirely under, inside the vortex.

For a moment, she seemed to hang, suspended in the air, perfectly stationary despite the vortex raging all around her. Vix let out a small, soundless gasp. She felt like a fish, swimming in a dirty, moss-encrusted bowl.

Then, another stronger force seized her by her feet once more and pulled, sending Vix lancing through the vortex like a bullet speeding from a gun.
