It felt like forever but Lucien was the first to finally gain consciousness. She groans with sores on her body but the most painful was her throat.
Her mind was still blank after suddenly waking up. She was lying on top of Efthalia, wrapped under his arms, and had not yet gained consciousness. After recognizing the person below and understanding what had happened, her eyes immediately jolted awake.
They were laying on top of the thousands of flower petals, buried under. Her last call to save her mana was the best decision she had ever made. It had practically saved their life.
"Efthalia, are you alright..?" After realizing it a second later, she immediately began to brush the flower petals aside until she could see his face. She carefully removed the few petals when she could finally see his face.
