{... ake up… Wake up…}
Ryker's eyes slowly opened as he woke from his dream. His legs were numb and his back was sore from sitting on the rocky ground for so long – this wasn't his bed.
What was he doing, again?
{Ryker, wake up!!}
"...!!"
He gasped as his eyes shot open, drawing in a long, wheezing breath to fill his empty lungs with air. Panting, he looked around in a daze, clutching at his chest in a vain attempt to calm his pounding heartbeat.
{Thank goodness!! You woke up!!} Bestie's panicked voice cried out in his head. Hearing that familiar voice, he slowly regained his bearings.
He was still in the mystic realm.
[... Hoo. Vital signs stable. Welcome back, Ryker,] Mini C said.
"... Mini C, Bestie. Good to see you guys are alright," he said, hastily taking out his compad. The power was working now, his familiar blue wallpaper popping up on the screen as he turned it on.
{Jeez, we should be saying that to you!}
