After what seemed an eternity, Jerome dropped his feet, his eyes opened to reveal a pair of red eyes, and the vortex galaxy behind him faded.
"Jerome? Are you alright?"
Jerome didn't answer for a while. He looked confused when he asked, "What happened?"
"You don't remember?"
"I recall after my inner beast left me, the darkness seemed to swallow my consciousness. After that, a light appeared, dispelling the darkness, and I saw my mother."
Fye widened when he heard that. "Your mother? You mean Goddess Aria?"
Jerome nodded his head, but his frown deepened because he didn't understand what was happening. "Did someone attack you? Your vitality turbulence is unstable."
Fye stretched his muscles, realizing he was in a defensive pose. "That's right. Someone lost his mind and almost turned into a frenzied hybrid. We're lucky you're back."
Jerome seemed to be contemplating the phoenix's explanation. "Me? I was frenzied?"
