The Missing Piece

"…Mngh."

Having realized he'd fallen unconscious on the body of a Tidemother again, Valyr inwardly let out a low sigh as he admonished himself for not being more vigilant.

Taking in a few deep breaths as he gave his consciousness the time it needed to awaken, the young man soon opened his eyes, only to be greeted by a familiar sight.

Complete darkness.

'…Where am I?' Just as he'd sat upright, Valyr thought to himself that he was still on top of the Greater Tidemother's body. After all, the feeling of the surface he was sitting on felt as cold as it after having its vitality siphoned away by Sana.

Confused as to why he'd appeared in complete darkness, the young man slowly stood up before glancing at the item he was holding.

Seeing that Sana had come along with him, Valyr faintly let out a sigh of relief as he affixed him to his back, deciding to take a look at the notifications regarding its successful transformation at a later time.
