When Mana woke up, she found herself back in the summer palace and in her own bed. A maid noticed that she was waking up and immediately fetched Physician Kale.
"Oh, excellent, you're up already," the elderly physician said as soon as he saw her. "How do you feel?"
Mana paused for a moment and examined herself. "Surprisingly unharmed," she told him. "How are Big Brother and Raven? What happened? Were the arrays destroyed?"
"So many questions the moment she wakes up," came a familiar, well-loved booming voice. "My little Mana, are you feeling well?"
Mana could hardly believe her ears. Her head whipped around and she confirmed with her own eyes that her ears weren't deceiving her.
"Papa!" she cried happily. "Why are you here?"
King Jaren came over to her side and gave her a warm hug. Jules and Raven trailed behind him – both of them looked fine, much to Mana's relief.
