A few moments earlier...
"Ugh..."
Leon gradually regained consciousness, his eyelids feeling heavy as he blinked open his eyes.
"Ha? What happened?" As he surveyed his surroundings, he was astonished to find his holy power seemingly spiraling out of control.
Yet, before he could contemplate the situation further, a voice echoed in his mind.
"Master, can you hear me?"
Leon was surprised, instantly recognizing the voice.
"Miranda? Is that you?" he inquired.
"Yes, Master, it's me," came Miranda's reply within his thoughts.
Leon frowned and reiterated, "Why did you call me? Didn't you say you wanted to rest?"
"There's something I need to discuss with you, Master," Miranda responded gently. "It pertains to the plans you must devise for dealing with the evil god."
