Moments before...
Claude's and Helios' magic circles slowly disappeared, as did the light around Penelope and Edmund. Then, the first to wake up was Edmund Gerwyn. The man tried to catch his breath and inhale as much oxygen as he wanted. He glanced around. Isabella and Sarah cried when they saw him. Jeremy nodded with a smile and showed a relieved expression. Then, Helios and Claude opened their eyes.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" asked Edmund. He had indeed heard Helios' voice in that fake world. However, Edmund did not expect that Helios was in his room. Edmund thought Helios was only helping Claude from the man's palace.
Helios breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again. The man was exhausted from the amount of mana he had to use to save Edmund and Penelope.
