"Cough…"
Bright light shone on Elitra's eyes, forcing her consciousness to come back from its shut-down state. The first thing she did was let out a series of dry coughs.
'What happened?'
Her memory was a mess, something she was used to by now. So, she immediately went to work trying to remember what happened before she fainted.
"Agh!"
A sudden wave of pain shook her body. Her skin felt like it was on fire, and even her insides seemed to have been shaken out of place.
'What the hell?'
It was never like this before. The flames had taken over before, and she'd definitely found herself similarly unconscious, but her body had never been damaged in the process.
Her eyelids fluttered as she tried her best to open them. She wanted to quickly take in her surroundings and make sure she was safe. But at that moment…
"Looks like you finally decided to wake up."
The unfamiliar voice of a man entered her ears.
