Garrick sighed, a wry smile tugging at his lips. "Guess I'm in, too. Someone has to keep you all alive."
Lila returned her focus to Aiden, her voice softening. "He'll need to recover enough to travel first. Give me a day or two, and I can stabilize him for the journey."
The next morning, Aiden woke with a groan, his body feeling like it had been dragged through the depths of the Abyss itself. He blinked, his vision still dark, and remembered his current predicament. Spirit sense painted a faint picture of his surroundings, and he felt the faint hum of Myne's presence beside him.
"You're awake," she said, relief laced with irritation. "Took you long enough."
Aiden chuckled weakly. "Miss me already?"
"Shut up," she snapped, but there was no heat in her words. "We're heading out soon. Lila found a lead—a place that might have answers about that seal of yours."
"Astral Sanctum?" he asked, surprising her.
