Outside the hidden chamber, the rest of the group had already settled into their respective positions for the night. The cave had become surprisingly comfortable after Mary and Agatha restored the damaged sections. What had once looked like a dangerous battlefield now resembled a strange underground refuge, with smooth crystal walls glowing faintly around them and enough open space for everyone to rest without feeling cramped.
Several bags had been placed near the center, while the horses remained safely inside the hidden chamber. Gregor was lying nearby, still unconscious but breathing normally. Leonid was sitting beside him, keeping an eye on his condition while Agatha and Mary quietly discussed the events of the night.
Liam and Tatiana approached.
They did not have to wait long.
Gregor's fingers moved.
Leonid immediately noticed.
"Hold on."

Gregor's eyelids slowly opened.
