The room was empty and silent when Faye opened her eyes. She found herself lying on the bed, confused about how she got there.
Her last memory was a jumbled mess, like trying to piece together a puzzle with missing pieces. The only thing Faye could recall was the magic ring of light hovering over her heart and disappearing into her chest.
In the room's stillness, she could feel her pulse thrumming slow and steady. There was a sense of tranquility. Her body was invigorated, and her spirit felt renewed.
Faye sat up from the bed to see Mielle, still in the corner, watching over her.
She questioned the maid.
"Where are Kalandra and Kelyk?"
The maid stepped forward from the shadows into the candlelight. Her kind, blue-green eyes smiling at Faye as she answered her inquiry.
"Master Kelyk took his sister to lie down and rest. He said she was over exhausted from using her healing abilities and needed sleep."
