Floating in a void.
Silence, pure silence... Why can't I just lay like this and not care about whatever's been happening around me?
It was nice being here...
"Hey!!" I felt someone call me—
And before I could comprehend anything, I saw light, and then, as if the vacuum sucked me in, I was wide awake.
"Haaa!!" I struggled to breathe.
"Rise and shine, princess!" Blaze jumped down on the floor where I was lying. It was cold.
"How long?" I asked.
"Three hours. Once in a while, you wriggled around in pain... well, that's evident, looking at you now," he added.
Looking at me? I rubbed my eyes and then down—it's the same, wait...
"Whoa." I stared at my hand as I brought it closer to my face. They had turned into claws.
"Increased mana pool, stronger physique—" Blaze circled around me, "Since you're now a Pyroclasm Elder, I can teach you three to four new moves... Oh yeah, you can now smell things really intensely." He added.
