Tell me when it's over Thalia said. Her eyes were shut tight. The statue was holding on to us so we couldn't fall but still Thalia clutched his arm like it was the most important thing in the world. Everything's fine I promised. Are... are we very high I looked down. Below us a range of snowy mountains zipped by. I stretched out my foot and kicked snow off one of the peaks. Nah I said. Not that high.
Thalia, feeling scared and anxious, asked someone to indicate when their perilous situation would end, with her eyes tightly closed. She clung to a statue for safety, emphasizing the importance of that connection in a moment of fear. The narrator reassured her that everything was alright, attempting to ease her apprehension.
Curious about their altitude, Thalia wondered if they were in a dangerous position. Upon looking down, the narrator described a breathtaking view of snow-covered mountains rushing past below them. He playfully kicked some snow off a peak to lighten the mood and assured Thalia that they were not at a significant height after all.
