Raiya watched as the event unfolded. Travis was obviously shaken by the dud gunshot, and justifiably so. But a moment after he came to his senses, Travis had retrieved the paragon from the grasp of the weak skeleton husk. The skeleton let out an objection that sounded more like scolding. It was then Raiya realized that they knew next to nothing about where they were or what they were up against. Instantly, the skeleton folded into a singularity that threatened to pull the whole group in with it. After Nemo's explanation, it all clicked. The cleanliness of the temple rooms, the gold that smelled right but with no dust or signs that it had been sitting there for hundreds of years. It was all because they were inside a projection, some sort of advanced stasis field projected by the paragon itself. And without the original user interfacing with the paragon, the advanced construct began to fold in on itself.

	[color=ec008c]"Guys... if the paragon constructed all of this inside a dimensional pocket, then what is going to happen when this all collapses without the original user? What's going to happen to us?"[/color] Raiya asked as the gale force winds whipped around her, pulling her closer to the center of the room. [color=ec008c]"Is this whole island a construct of the paragon? Are we going to get tossed back into the ocean?"[/color] Raiya asked frantically. Not knowing how to swim herself, Raiya did not like the thought of being plopped in the middle of a raging sea again. And, without someone like Felix to open a portal for them, she wasn't sure how long even an experienced swimmer could last in the middle of even a calm sea. Raiya's mana was still mostly drained, and fatigue had already set in from her battle. Dying in the middle of an ocean did not sound pleasant, but Raiya wasn't even sure if there was any option at this point.
