The livestream chat froze. Everyone held their breath, watching the hospital-gowned girl drop through the air

Her feet kicked off the wall, and her body carved a clean arc through the air.

THUD

Lyra landed squarely on the lawn, rolled forward to absorb the impact, and was already sprinting the second she steadied herself

“Draconia player! Get back here!” Lina pressed against the second-floor window, her voice trembling so badly it cracked

Lyra ignored her, her strides growing longer. Her eyes were locked on the glowing golden chest at the center of the courtyard, and they lit up with excitement.

Off to the far left, the ten red-coated Wraiths broke into a full run, twice as fast as they’d moved during the sweep They’d spotted her.

The Wraith leading the charge had already raised its arm, the dark red blade flashing dizzyingly in the sunlight

The Wraiths on either flank swung their hooked scythes in wide, sweeping arcs, sealing off every space Lyra could dodge

The Wraiths closed in around her in a fan-shaped ring The one in the middle hixed its empty sockets on the chest

It leapt up, scythe slicing dows from midair, aimed straight at Lyra’s head

Lyra scooped up the chest stepped back half a pace dropped low, and ducked beneath a sprinkler unit

Using the rising mist for cover, she shipped around the side toward a thinner gap in the Wraiths.

Fifteen seconds of invisibility More than enough

The Wraiths hacked wildly in every direction, but couldn’t find the little mouse who’d stolen their chest.
