In the time we had remaining, I directed my mount as high as he could manage. My power gave me a sense of how far I was above the ground.
If they aren’t out of the blast zone, it is interesting that
specifically
our POV character and main protagonist gets the ability to dodge the blast zone entirely by flying.
Well, maybe not entirely. When Bakuda’s stuff comes into play, who knows what will happen. Probably not the Protectorate, Tinker labs or no.
Honestly, I think the “POV character” outweighed the “main protagonist” part. The tension may be less direct this way, but we already had lots of tension last time, and Taylor flying offers an interesting perspective on the blast zone for us readers.
My range formed a loose sphere around me, and as I made my way skyward, my power covered less and less ground, on a literal level. It wasn’t long before my power didn’t reach the ground beneath me.
So that puts her at least 300 feet above ground. Nice.
A little daunting, being so high when I was so new to flying.
Yeah… at least you’ve got more control than last time, though.
Though that also comes with no one else being there to take that pressure.
