Damn! That was a long sleep… What is this soft feeling on my lips?
Valac's consciousness swam up from the depths of sleep, the warm glow of the Pool of Lumina retreating as he began to stir.
Valac's mind lingered in the haze of dreams for a moment, clinging to the blissful softness brushing against his lips.
Strange... when did dreams felt so realistic? He was almost reluctant to open his eyes, to part from this warmth that felt more tangible, more alive than any dream.
But something in his mind flickered and he cracked his eyes open, just barely.
