As Mina continued to cry, a warm violet light began to unfold around her. Starting at the knees, the luminescent tendrils began to leak into the sand beneath her.
The sand seemingly yawned, and began to open up.
The light began to turn a bright blue, as a low humming began, quietly at first - and then louder and louder.
Mina stopped crying, looking around frantically when the humming began to reach a fever pitch. The sand began to vibrate, and Mina began to sink.
The undulating light beneath her got brighter as the sand let out another deep groan.
The grains of sand began to hover, and the humming seemed to reach a climax. A perturbed and confused Mina let out a panicked yelp as the ground beneath her suddenly vanished.
But she didn’t fall. Instead, she found herself floating.
The humming stopped, but the light kept growing… kept getting brighter.
There was another short rumble, and then an all-encompassing silence, accompanied with surging blue light.
Her eyes widened.
And then she was falling.
