Luna's consciousness snapped back to the outside world, eyes opening slowly. Cold air rushed into her lungs as she took a sharp breath, but this time, it didn't hurt like it did before.
She forced herself to sit up, wiping at her eyes before she saw the scene.
Everyone was there: Marcus, Iris, and Emily. All three were gathered around her, forming a tight circle. Their expressions were far more serious than she expected.
"…What's going on?" Luna asked, her voice still a little weak.
Emily leaned forward immediately.
"You finally woke up," she said, relief clear in her tone. "Do you have any idea what just happened?"
Luna blinked. "…No?"
"There was this massive wave of cold," Emily continued quickly. "Like—insane levels. It just washed over the entire cavern."
Iris nodded faintly. "Yeah, at first we thought it was some kind of beast still dormant here. We got ready and sprinted over…only to find you sprawled on the floor."
