The Awakening

His throat burned from the dryness and lack of use. Despite his closed lids, he could feel the heaviness in his heart. A panic that he never forgot even unconsciously made its presence known.

He wanted to scream at the unknown. His lids were a hustle to pry open. However, he didn't give up. He couldn't for fear that it would be too late to save his beloved.

How did they end up in this state? He couldn't tell how long he attempted to separate his lids. Cosmo groaned the scratchy feeling in his throat not helping his state.

The first thought in his mind was Magnus. He attempted to sit up but failed miserably. Lying down for months without movement seems to leave him exhausted.

Beside him, Magnus opened his eyes as well. Unlike Cosmo, he felt like he had a long vision. Even so, having his beloved close only made his vision that much more real.
