Amare slowly opened her eyes.
She felt like she had slept for a long, long time.
She blinked as her blurry vision grew clear by the second.
For a moment, she had no idea what was happening.
She had no idea where she was.
Or why she was here.
Or what had happened.
And then it came to her in a rapid flood.
She got up with a jerk, panting heavily as her expression grew uncertain.
A single question escaped her.
"Who am I?"
It was not a question she was unfamiliar with.
As a Martial Master, she had been informed about the condition to break through to a higher Realm.
Nirvana.
And yet, this was the first time in her entire life that she had actually asked herself that question with a sense of uncertainty. This was the first time she had asked herself that question with absolutely no certainty of its answer.
"That is the question you must answer, my child."
