'Hey, wake up.'
The dry voice echoed in Runula's mind, prompting her to open her eyes once again. It was as if something soft and gentle was filling her body, bringing back her strength and will to live.
She felt the warmth returning and circulating through her body again. Her first sensation was of a young girl clutching tightly onto the neck of her true body, and her eyes met the small black figure on her shoulder silently observing her. Soon, her heart began to beat rapidly.
The whale sighed. "You have recovered enough. Shift back to human form to heal. I've just kept you alive again."
BOOM!
The space trembled, and a powerful wave of Qi from the heavens reverberated. The whale spoke quickly, "Immediately summon everyone from your clan, or they'll all die in vain. I've already read your memories; Almin is coming to protect you."
