A white flash overtook everything inside the cavern.
By loss of vision and sensation, it seemed I had gotten unconscious because of the explosion.

"Ah…?" I barely managed to open my eyes.
I was laying on the ground with my stomach, I shifted my head to the left and right and pain all around my body made me stagger in place.
"Gha!?" My clothes were all tattered up while my body was just as battered as them.
I pushed strength towards my muscles, trying to get up.
"Hmph-" Every single movement stabbed me with pain.
"Hah…" I let go of my breath as I slumped on my butt. Currently having a better view of my surroundings by sitting.
"W-Wha-?" My jaw was dislocated which ached to the point I couldn't properly speak.
"…"
I brought my right hand near my mouth and chanted with whatever stutters a healing spell.
"Better now…" I sighed.
This time, I properly focused on my surroundings.
The ending was real bitter for me... got a tear or two out of my eyes feeling elias's emotions first hand
