How Did I Get Caught?

"Ehh….where am I…" Viktor incoherently mumbled as he tried to open his eyes which seemed a bit heavy. He felt as if he was waking up from a long slumber, yet what he dreamed felt so real, just like the past two times not too long ago.

"Azu! Thank the Holy Godmother. You finally came back," Seraphina's lips eased into a relieved smile as she saw Viktor open his eyes with a confused look.

"Sera? Wha…What happened? Wait a second…Mevron! He is—" Viktor recalled that they were in the middle of a fight.

"Don't worry. He is not here. We are safe…for now," Seraphina said with her lips firmly pressed together as she helped Viktor sit up.

She was happy that he came back sooner than she expected, and for some reason, she was already starting to feel better. But when she thought about the danger her realm was in, her chest felt even more heavy.

Viktor shook his head as he tried to get his thoughts and memories sorted.
