After several long hours of sleep, Skyy finally woke up. Chen was already preparing to leave the cottage. They needed to return to the base as soon as possible and tell his parents what had happened. More importantly, they needed to prepare for the next asteroid strike and, if possible, find a way to prevent it before it happened.
Chen hurriedly searched through the cottage for anything useful. There wasn't much left, but he managed to find a few candies and tucked them into his bag. They wouldn't last long, but at least they were something to eat along the way.
Skyy slowly rubbed his wrist, frowning when he noticed that the pain was almost completely gone. He looked at Chen with confusion.
"What happened to me?"
"Nothing much. Trexa healed you." Chen nodded toward the little rat, who was sitting nearby with her tiny chest puffed out proudly, clearly pleased with herself.
Skyy grinned and immediately leaned down to gently rub the top of her head. "Oh, thank you, little one."
