Because Kyran was deep in thought, he did not notice Cyneah sleeping on the bed slowly stirring awake.
As soon as her eyes fluttered open, her normally dark world slowly filled with floating lights. These lights were magic energies that were attracted by the small floral-shaped lamp by her bedside table.
This lamp was a magic item was something Anette prepared for Cyneah. There were also similar lamps like this placed on different corners inside the cottage.
The lamp's purpose was simple. It could attract magic energies and absorbed them to emit a faint golden light.
Since Cyneah could see energies in the surroundings as long as they were pact together, the lamp could somehow help her 'see' her surroundings without using her magic sense.
'Hm...?' Cyneah's brow furrowed slightly as something seemed to obstruct the flow of magic energies near her.
I know what happened in that five years seemed like a biiiiig question mark to most. Don't worry, some if not most will be explained in future chaps :)
