The atmosphere in Pim's room was tense and somber, with medical equipment beeping and whirring in the background. The monitors displayed her vital signs, and the medical staff came in periodically to check on her. Pond sat beside her bed, holding her hand and praying for her to wake up.
He was suffering immensely from the incident, and the guilt weighed heavily on him. He couldn't bear the thought of losing Pim, who had become such an important part of his life. He blamed himself for not being able to protect her, and he felt helpless as he watched her lay there, unconscious and vulnerable.
Days passed, and there was still no improvement in Pim's condition. Pond stayed by her side day and night, barely leaving her room except to grab a quick meal or take a shower. He was exhausted and emotionally drained, but he refused to give up hope.
One night, as Pond sat alone in Pim's room, he felt a sudden chill in the air. He looked around, but there was no one there. Then he heard a voice, faint and distant, calling his name. It sounded like Pim's voice, but it was distorted and strange.
"Pond," the voice whispered, "help me..."
Pond was startled and frightened. He didn't know what to do or how to respond. He called out to Pim, but there was no response. He was filled with a sense of dread and foreboding, as if something terrible was about to happen.

The Mages Council was bustling with activity as Kate arrived to speak with High Mage Zephyrus. The room was adorned with ancient tomes and magical artifacts, and the air was filled with the sound of rustling pages and murmurs of magic.
Zephyrus was sitting at his desk, dressed in his casual suit. His silver hair was neatly tied back in a ponytail, and his piercing red eyes glinted in the dim light. Kate approached him with a nervous expression on her face.
"Why do you trust me?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. "And did you also have a strange dream like me?"
Zephyrus looked at her for a moment, he could sense a strong determination in her eyes. "I can sense that you have a good heart," he replied, "and that's why I trust you. As for the strange dream, I did have one, but it's nothing to worry about."
Kate felt a sense of relief wash over her. "Can you tell me more about your dream?" she asked, hoping to find some clues to what was happening to Pim.
Zephyrus hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed. "In my dream, I found myself trapped in the body of a bird, and I was being taken care of by you," he said. "It's a bit strange, I know, but I felt like I could trust you, even in that form."
Kate's eyes widened in surprise. "That's a really strange dream," she said, trying to hide her amusement. "But maybe it means something."
Zephyrus shrugged. "Maybe," he said. "But right now, we need to focus on finding a way to wake up Pim. I'll do whatever I can to help."

Later that night, even though he was suffering from Pim's condition, Pond had a strange dream of his own.
As Pond slept, he found himself in a dreamlike state, where he was in a warm embrace with Sylphrena. In this dream, he felt comforted by her gentle touch, but he also felt guilty at the same time. He couldn't help but think about Pim and her current condition.
As the dream continued, Pond felt Sylphrena's soft skin against his, and they moved together in a sensual way. It felt so real, yet so wrong. Pond knew he shouldn't be having these thoughts while Pim was lying unconscious in her bed.
As Pond dreamed on, he felt Sylphrena's tiny waist in his grasp, and he couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment.
In his dream, Sylphrena whispered softly in his ear, "It's okay, Pond. Let go of your worries and let me comfort you."
But Pond couldn't shake the guilt he felt about Pim. "I can't do this, Sylphrena," he protested. "Not when Pim is lying in a hospital bed."
Sylphrena pulled back slightly and looked into Pond's eyes. "Pim will recover," she assured him. "But in the meantime, you deserve some comfort as well."
Pond sighed deeply, torn between his desire and his sense of duty. "I just don't know if I can do this," he confessed.
Sylphrena placed a gentle hand on his cheek. "It's okay, Pond," she said softly. "Whatever you decide, I'll be here for you.
As the dream continued, Pond's desire grew stronger. He put himself inside her, filling up every inch. He couldn't help but beg for more as he moved faster, his hands gripping onto her tiny waist.
But then he slowed down, wanting to feel every touch, every movement of her body. He was entranced by her red eyes and the way she bounced with their rhythm. He let out a loud moan as he released himself inside her, screaming her name.
Their bodies moved together in perfect harmony, creating a symphony of moans and sounds of pleasure. Sylphrena's voice was like music to Pond's ears, and he never wanted the dream to end.
But eventually, he woke up to find himself alone in Pim's bedroom. He couldn't help but feel guilty for what he had done in his dream, knowing that it wasn't right to have those kinds of thoughts while Pim was lying unconscious in her bed.

Pond picked up his phone and called Palm. Pond anxiously waited for Palm to pick up the phone, his heart racing with worry for Pim. When Palm finally answered, Pond wasted no time in asking for the latest news. "What's the latest news?" he asked, his voice trembling with fear.
Palm's response didn't bring much comfort. "There have been reports from many players about being attacked by a girl with golden wings," he said in a somber tone. "We suspect it's Pim, and we need to find her and try to wake her up."
Pond felt a knot forming in his stomach as he realized the severity of the situation. He knew that they had to find Pim as soon as possible and try to bring her back to consciousness. "What do we do now?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Palm took a deep breath before responding. "We need to go back into the game and try to find Pim," he said. "We'll use our skills to try and wake her up. It's a long shot, but it's the only option we have."
Pond knew that they had to act fast, so he quickly agreed with Palm's plan. "Let's do it," he said, determination in his voice. "We have to save Pim."
As Pond hung up the phone, he felt a sense of urgency wash over him. He knew that they were racing against time to save Pim, and he was willing to do whatever it takes to bring her back to consciousness.

The party logged back into Xylo Chronicle and found themselves in a familiar yet eerie world. They felt a sense of urgency as they began their search for Pim. Along the way, they encountered several mobs and bosses, but they managed to defeat them all with their combined skills.
As they searched for Pim, Pond couldn't help but miss the time when he and Pim would log in together, exploring the game world and fighting monsters side by side. He felt a pang of guilt for the strange dream he had about Sylphrena, but he pushed the thought aside and focused on finding Pim.
Eventually, they came across a girl with golden wings hovering in mid-air. It was Pim, but she was still trapped in her trance. They tried calling out to her, but she remained unresponsive. Pond felt his heart sink as he realized that they might not be able to wake her up.
"Come on, Pim," Pond said, pleading with her. "We need you to snap out of it. You can't stay like this forever."
But Pim remained motionless, her eyes closed as if she were in a deep sleep. The party felt helpless and frustrated, unsure of what to do next. They knew that time was running out, and they needed to find a way to break the trance and bring Pim back to consciousness.
Pim appeared as a beautiful girl with golden angel wings and a serene expression on her face, seemingly peaceful in her trance. But her appearance belied the danger she posed to the party. Her powerful attacks had left them struggling to survive, and they knew they couldn't take another hit.
Sylphrena examined Pim's aura and noticed that she had been sealed off from the real world, trapped in her own mind. She explained to the party that they needed to break the seal and bring her back to consciousness if they wanted to save her.
The party fought valiantly against Pim's attacks, using all their skills and abilities to stay alive. They dodged and weaved, cast spells and struck with their weapons, all while trying to find a way to break the seal.
Sylphrena used her own powerful magic to try and weaken the seal, but it proved to be too strong. They needed more help. Pond called out to the Mages Councils, asking for their assistance in breaking the seal and saving Pim.
As they waited for the Mages Councils to respond, the party continued to fend off Pim's attacks. They knew that time was running out, and they had to act quickly before it was too late.
