My vision shifted from the clouded sky of the top of the Frozen Mist Hills to a stone room that was lit by torchlight. I heard the metallic clatter as my sword fell to the rocky floor while the smoke from the teleport dissipated. We were back inside of the dwarven city.
"W-We're back!" Yuna jumped up and shouted. "We're alive! I can't believe it!" She began giggling. She was positively giddy.
"Haha! Amazing job kid! I can't believe you…" Jaq trailed off. The life had returned to his face as he spoke, but when he looked at me his face shifted back to the pale visage that it once was.
