*Motions to the sands around us*
There aren’t very many corners out here.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>
We don’t.

*Is cut off by a fresh gust of wind, this one chilly, and blows across the sand to reveal a set of footprints leading toward us from the desert*

*Looks into the horizon*
This was coming for you sooner or later, the way you were using those powers.

*Turns quickly and takes a right*
But what you can’t do is continue on with whatever it is you’re doing without understanding what kinds of forces you’ve tapped into!
