[Telekinesis]...

An ability that allowed one to move things with their minds.

It was quite broad and depended on the user's creativity and mental status.

Yet, it was not as overpowered as one would imagine. 

For instance, since he could not manipulate the bodies of targets, he could only resort to harming them by using objects in his surroundings.

There was one pressing question though; What would happen in a situation where the setting is a barren location?

He could not move the air now, could he?

Sure, air and whatnot could be considered a part of the physical system but that was not within the scope of his control.....

Reve found himself in a very similar situation.

He was near the riverside and the only object available were large rocks that were too heavy for him to use [Telekinesis] on.

However, he had no options left.

Feeling his fur burn just due to the terrific temperature, Reve focused his mind on a bunch of large rocks and lifted them with his mind.

A trail of blood escaped from his nasal hole as his vengeful headaches rushed back to him.

"Ahhhhhh!" Reve squirmed in pain as he used pure will to smash those uneven rocks on the lizard clones. 

As soon as he noticed the success of his attacks, he lunged out of the formation but he was too late.

A pillar of fire rose from the ground and consumed everything in the enclosed space within the formation.

An instant later, Reve rolled out frantically. Half of his body had been engulfed by the terrific flames.

He squealed out loud and decisively ducked into the river to prevent the flames from permanently damaging him.

All his energy had already left his body and he was exhausted, mentally and physically.

He barely had an ounce of mana left within him and the situation was not over yet.

Reve panicked as he tried to steer himself down the river path. Luckily, he could swim and wasn't like other cat breeds that couldn't.

Suddenly, his eyes met the appealing eyes of the terror lizard.

He could tell from the emotions buried inside it that the lizard wasn't planning on letting him go.

*Roar!!*

It declared its annoyance with a vengeful roar and sped to the river bank.

All of a sudden, it glowed red and the next thing Reve knew was his senses blaring amuck.

In the skies were tiny red dots that moved closer to his location. They twinkled like beautiful stars that blessed the nightlife.

Reve speculated, "what more?! Wait---are those…..fire arrows?!"

He had jumped from one hot pot to another hot pot.

The feeling of danger was as expressive as ever.

Seeing the spectacle in the skies, Reve pondered on what measures to think.

One thing was sure, they would fall very soon and when they did, it might mean death for himself.

He had to do something. He had to change the tempo!

Reve took a glance at the lizard one last time as he rapidly swam down the water path.

Every ounce of his energy was used to fuel this strenuous activity.

It was not all grim. The water current was getting stronger which could mean many things, but Reve had no time to spare.

He kept swimming while focusing his senses on the fire arrows that were still charging in the sky.

The fire arrows' energy spiked and Reve knew it was almost time.

He chanted inwardly, 'Five….Four….Three….Two...One!'

Immediately, he cast his ice bullets and fired them at some fire arrows that were aimed at his vital parts.

Just as he decided, he allowed himself. to be hit by the other fire arrows. As long as they didn't spell certain death.

Reve received a shock when he felt one of the fire arrows bury itself in his right foot. 

He wanted to cry but crying wasn't allowed in this situation.

Luckily, the terror lizard had quite the poor aim or he wouldn't even have the time to feel pain.

"Oh, Bloody Mary," cursed Reve when he noticed something horrible.

His mana reserves had finally finished. He was left bare to the fire arrows that kept spamming in the sky.

After a minute of torture, Reve found his eyelids becoming heavy. He was nearing death every second he spent breathing.

"What is that?" Reve finally heard something unique.

It was the aggressive sound of rushing water. The current appeared to be far stronger than what it had been a while ago.

Suddenly, Reve lost control of his body and couldn't regain it back. He used his sharp eyes to peer deeper in the direction in front of him and found something interesting.

It was the end of the path of the river.  No, to be more specific, a waterfall!

*Roar!*

Reve turned back to see the lizard's aggressive growl. He guessed the prideful creature had finally realized his prey was getting out of it's control.

Fortunately, it only continued roaring and did not attempt to pursue Reve in the river.

It was a wise decision. One does not simply risk falling down a waterfall for prey.

Yet, unfortunately, that did not mean that Reve was safe. He could only say that after he survived the waterfall.

As he was moved closer to the waterfall, Reve closed his eyes and prayed to the gods of Arcadia to spare his life.

He promised to never call himself a godly cat anymore.

The rushing of water entered his ear as his body submerged into the river. He only felt himself falling from what felt like nine hundred(900) meters.

When he hit the lower river, his bones cracked from pressure and a nauseating feeling overcame him.

He immediately rushed out of the river and vomited a large pile of blood and inner liquids.

Afterwards, he dragged his damaged body away from the site.

He wasn't sure if the lizard could find a path downwards and he didn't want to stay to find out.

The only thing on his mind was to find the last abode. His injuries would surely overcome him and that would mean death 

Yes, he could already feel the claws of death scratching his naked skin.

All he wished for before his destined departure was to see the last abode.

After ten minutes of dragging his body, he found it.

He had no time to check what he looked like and simply entered the building's large door.

It was warm inside….a suitable place for his final resting.

As he immersed himself in the peaceful environment, Reve's eyelids dropped heavily but he didn't fail to notice a large bed-like coffin.

He forced himself to read the characters written on the coffin, "Herein lies the immortal witch... She sleeps on the river of time"

His brain could not take him through the rest of the characters as his death was rapidly approaching.

He looked at the coffin and smiled, "Opening something unknown is a nice way to die, isn't it?"

His thoughts cloggy, he forced himself once to use his mind to push open the lid of the coffin.

The next thing he knew, blood rushed from his nose frantically and he fell flat to the warm ground.

One minute later, after his body had been drained with enough blood, he finally closed his eyes…...
