Arad opened his eyes and found himself asleep on a pile of gold with something heavy on his back. The memories of what happened before slowly crept into his mind, but he felt strangely calm. The dangling thread of magic in his head was a clear indication that someone had cast a calming spell on him and a powerful one at that. But after a short inspection, he realized that wasn't a spell but a curse, one that eats away at emotions.
^Doma…what happened?^
^{You already know. I cast that spell on you when you started raging, I hope you can think a bit better now.}^
^I can, thank you.^
When Doma heard his calm voice, she waved her hand and lifted the spell off him. ^Please try to control your emotions better. Yuwaku and Zephyr are both fine, they'll be fine. It's only a matter of time before you get Zephyr out of that cube and she'll be running around annoying you like she did before.^
