"Yes! It looks so fun!"
The family lined up, and soon, it was their turn. A staff member helped them into their seats and made sure the safety belts were locked.
The ride started to rise slowly into the sky.
From behind a control booth, the man in the black cloak was watching.
He had snuck into the ride's magic core chamber earlier and placed a tiny cursed stone inside. Now, he held a spell paper in his hand.
As the ride went higher and higher, he whispered, "Fall. Break. Crash."
He slammed the spell paper against the wall. The cursed stone inside the ride's magic core began to glow a sickly red.
Sparks flew. The wind magic started to spin wildly.
Inside the ride, Gu Jin frowned. She could feel something was wrong.
The dragon suddenly jerked to the side.
The other passengers screamed. The ride was shaking now, the wind magic going out of control.
"Something's wrong!" Mr. Gu shouted.
"Don't worry," Gu Jin said softly, her eyes glowing faintly green.
