A Win-Win Situation

'Wake… Mas…'

'Wake… up…'

'Master…'

'Wake up, Master!'

"Mngh?" Being waken up with a jolt, Valyr gradually came to his senses as he heard Sana's voice resound in his mind over and over again, telling him to wake up. For a short while, he clutched his head in pain as he slowly sat upright, only to feel pain radiate from his back not long after.

Fortunately, it did not take long for both types of pain to subside as Valyr's consciousness eventually became fully alert, allowing him to hear Sana let out a sigh of relief in his mind.

'I was worried you wouldn't wake up, Master,' said Sana, causing a faint apologetic smile to appear on Valyr's face as he apologized for worrying his spear. After that, the expression on his face turned solemn as he tried to recall what had transpired before he fell unconscious, only recalling brief glimpses of what had happened, as well as going through inordinate amounts of pain.
