Mana opened her eyes to see Raven's tearful face swimming in front of her.
"Don't cry, Raven," she murmured. "What will I do if you ruin your beautiful face?"
There was a sound halfway between a laugh and a sob from Raven, and there were sounds of laughter from around Mana.
"She seems to be fine if she's more concerned about Raven's pretty face than anything else," King Jaren's cheerful voice came from the sides.
Mana sat up gingerly, and took stock of her own body quickly. Much to her relief, there was nothing wrong with her at all. She looked around and found herself in what looked like a room at an inn. She was surrounded by Raven, King Jaren, Jules, Bella and Junior Imperial Physician Vale.
"How are you feeling?" Raven asked worriedly.
"Perfectly fine," Mana replied. "What happened? How did I get into the other world? What happened to the dog?"
