Awakening

Pyris after waking up the heaviness of his body slowly lifting as the world around him came into focus. His heart, steady and slow, gave him a moment of peace before the weight of reality came crashing back. The first sight that greeted him was his family—his sweet sister Elsa and Emilia, their worry etched into their faces. Relief lit up their expressions when they saw his eyes open, and the tension in the room seemed to dissipate slightly.

"Big brother, Pyris!" Elsa cried, throwing her arms around him. Her small frame pressed against him, offering warmth that only family could provide.

"I'm fine, Elsa," Pyris reassured her, though his tone carried the exhaustion of battle. Emilia stood back, arms crossed, her sharp gaze studying him as if to confirm his words. She offered him a small nod when satisfied.
