Capítulo 60: Mutual Trust

Back in the sunlit forest, the brilliance of day contrasted sharply with the enigmatic darkness Jayce had just emerged from. The sun hung high in the sky, casting its warm embrace over the surroundings. As Jayce stirred, his consciousness returning to the world, he was greeted by the concerned faces of his party members, each one approaching him as he sat up.

Lianna, her gentle eyes filled with both relief and worry, was the first to address him. "Jayce, how are you feeling?" Her voice held a soft undertone, her magical powers capable of perceiving even the most subtle changes in his condition.

Jayce's mind was still in a state of transition, the echoes of his encounter with Rubick resounding in his thoughts. He managed a slow nod, his response delayed as if he was grappling to fully return to the present moment. "I'm... fine," he finally replied, his voice carrying a hint of distraction.
