Chapter 139: Forest Retreat

In the midst of a forest with towering trees and winding vines, the space flickered for a moment, sending ripples outwards. A moment later, two figures appeared from the distorted space, tumbling to the ground with a lack of grace.

The sound of breaking branches rang out followed by a loud thud of the bodies hitting the forest floor. "Ugh!" A groan of pain sounded as if the wind had been knocked out of their lungs.

Jayce felt the impact of landing on the ground from a great height, jumbling his thoughts and causing a wave of pain to wrack his body. He groaned, feeling a weight upon his chest, yet he struggled to open his eyes to inspect what it was.

His mind felt dizzy as if he had been thrown around inside of a tumble dryer for a long period of time. He lifted his head, slowly opening his eyes in hopes of relieving his nausea. Upon opening his eyes, he saw Lianna laying on his chest, her breathing even and steady as if she were sleeping.
