"Liam! He is now awake!" Zhen-Zhen couldn't contain her happiness as she stared at Liam, her blue eyes scanning him from head to toe.
"He is back!" Tristan also blurted out, grinning from ear to ear. They were both elated to see their friend.
"We are not your enemies. Can you let us pass through the barrier?" FaMo spoke to Scarlet.
Scarlet immediately turned to Liam. He was the one who could undo the barrier. Liam smiled and nodded in understanding. He waved his hand as he created a small opening where Zhen-Zhen and Tristan could pass through, together with FaMo, Miho, and Christian.
The three fire creatures rejoiced at this unexpected reunion. Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen ran in Liam's direction. Upon reaching his spot, Zhen-Zhen embraced Liam, her tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"I'm so glad to see you. You are finally back. You scared us! I'm sorry, Liam. It was my fault that you got hurt." Zhen-Zhen's grip on his body tightened.
