"You were quite reckless, you know? You know…?"
"Hmmm…" Jack groaned as a voice echoed between the walls of his skull like they were canyon walls.
"Get up already. You know it's me," berated the voice. "Who else could speak with you while you remained unconscious?"
Fighting with his mind, Jack managed to open his eyes. He was startled to see such a vibrant, bright blue sky. As he sat up, Jack noticed a not-too-distant sun peeking over the clouds. It was an unusual place to be, but Jack soon remembered that he had seen it before.
"Daruun… What's up? And… I'm unconscious?"
The god walked over to Jack and patted the hero on the back. "First, congratulations! You've accomplished the first step to gaining control over Trodar, albeit you nearly destroyed your body and mind while doing so. You just had to go and forcefully use a spell you knowingly didn't have enough mana to cast, didn't you?"
