บท 377: Awake

Emery stood alone within the veil of darkness, waiting for his fate, hoping that the two words were enough for them.

It felt like an eternity, or was it a moment? It was hard to tell, but he began to see a pinprick of light far away in the darkness and, as he walked closer to the light, energy started to fill his body.

The light soothed his dark core and gave him his vigor back.

When he was finally able to wake up, he saw morning sunlight come through the window of a straw-like wall and ceiling. He could feel the lush green of the forest through the window, flowing with fresh air.

Emery believes he has already returned back to the forbidden forest village.

He tried to move his body little by little to get the blood flowing, while his eyes glanced at his surroundings.

"He's awake! He's awake!"

The jubilant shouting of a woman he recognized made Emery turn around, to see Glita the youngest of the fey sisters running outside of the hut.
