I opened my eyes to the bright sunlight while feeling the cold spreading across my back and the entire rear part of my body.
Amid that cold, and the silence consuming everything around me, pain gnawed at my bones and insides.
I couldn't feel my fingers, and I couldn't move much beyond trembling atop what seemed to be a temporary bed.
But I could feel some Essence within my body.
Without hesitation, I healed some of my more severe injuries and let out a sigh before pushing myself into a sitting position.
My hearing returned as my hand touched the makeshift bedding separating me from the freezing ice, and at that moment, a powerful dizziness struck me, blurring my vision for a few moments.
That last hit had truly been strong enough to leave me in this miserable state.
"You finally woke up..." a familiar voice echoed out, and I turned my head to see Elliot.
