Aldriana is jolted awake.
She feels something snap in her sleep, and her eyes fly open. Her heart is pounding loudly.
Was I dreaming? I don't feel good.
She takes a few steadying breaths and scans the area.
Oh? This is interesting.
She sits up calmly and looks around. The cave is quiet. Everyone should be either sleeping or meditating.
She glances toward the spot where Arthur and Liam are meditating, and sees exactly what she sensed earlier.
Liam sits comfortably in a meditative pose. He looks relaxed, as if he's been doing this his entire life. The complete opposite of his usual daily routine, which is filled with physical activity and endless gym hours.
Yet here he is, meditating like a monk. A very faint blue light surrounds him.
Aldriana smiles. This is amazing. In just a few hours. A place full of mana can do that to you.
She shifts her attention to Arthur.
Arthur sits in the same pose as Liam, but his aura is completely different.
