Voshiem nodded slowly as if making it visible. "My king has found the person he was looking for amid the crowd of men. If you wish to intervene, it's time for you to wake up. In three days, the water will rise beyond the rocks. The ocean will infringe on the shores of men. I wonder, I wonder… how many deaths will we bring this time?"
The bird prince gasped. "Wait! You're sinking another island in three days? Which one?"
Voshiem chuckled and vanished as if releasing Kanaru from the dream. Kanaru woke up with a sharp wheeze, grasping at the blanket on his chest. Ririka was stunned awake by the loud rustling, and Lufian cried in frustration out of nowhere.
"W-What happened?" Ririka reached out and lulled Lufian, but the infant kept struggling. She couldn't help but let the baby crawl to Kanaru. "I'm sorry. Did you have a nightmare?"
