"Wake up, love," she whispered, her words infused with an enchanting energy. Cancer's eyelashes fluttered and her tranquil sea-green eyes opened gradually, her gaze gradually focusing.
"Wh-wh...where am I?" Cancer stammered, her gaze alternating between me and Tallia. "And you are... oh yes, my Queen!"
