Tarein watched the Prinny leave the presence of Vyers, Kanako, Lucretia, and herself with a smile. Maybe this world wasn't as bad as she had thought it to be.
She was going to step forward to stay near Kanako again, but something held her back. Something...
The red aura burst from her again, and before she even had a chance to panic, she was pulled off of her feet and fell backwards into... a gate? She thought that one was only one way!
In an instant, the child was thrown out above a river. She flew back a few feet before splashing down into the rapids and being pushed down the river in the correct direction after a few seconds.
Tarein's parents had never taught her how to swim before she fell to the Netherworld, so she was staying surfaced only on the force of the current. She pulled up and gasped for air when she could, still confused and scared as ever.
She turned around in a futile attempt to struggle back up the river and felt something crack against her back. A large boulder jutting out of the center had landed itself directly into Tarein's back. She felt shock for a moment, and then quickly slipped into unconsciousness.
She drifted off to the side of the rock, clearly about to be pulled under without at least her struggles. The red aura gathered around her again and lashed itself to the rock. Tarein immediately fell to the floor of the river without any forward motion. The aura pulled her back to the front of the rock so that the current would just push her into it. It locked itself around her and the rock to keep her in place, but the moment the aura could no longer sustain itself...
