CHAPTER 528: [EVENT] [ELVEN UTOPIAN WAR] [67] INNER CONFLICTS

I jolted awake. My eyes snapped open, and I found myself staring up at the inside of a tent, the fabric stretching above me. The immediate instinct was to sit up, but I groaned slightly, the movement feeling sluggish and heavy.

I glanced down at my body-bandages wrapped around my arms. The dull ache I had grown used to was gone. I felt... better, at least physically, but exhaustion clung to me. The weariness was still there, though I could tell someone had taken good care of me.

I turned my head toward the entrance of the tent just as someone stepped inside. It was Vina, her eyes wide with surprise when she saw I was awake. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out at first.

I smiled.

"You've been a great help against Navas," I said, though I was a bit surprised at how tired my voice sounded.

Vina avoided my gaze. "You would've won anyway."

I raised an eyebrow, a little pleased. "You were that confident in me?"

She didn't answer right away.

"You should rest," she said after a moment.

Without another word, she turned and quickly left the tent.

I was left alone with my thoughts, trying to shake the weariness from my mind. "How long was I out?" I called after her.

"Two days," Vina's voice floated back to me from outside.

Two days?!

I had been unconscious for that long?

I couldn't believe it. But what surprised me more was the fact that Cleenah wasn't around. I tried calling her, but it was no use. She wasn't there again. I knew she could leave my body whenever she wanted as long as I was alive, but why was it that she always seemed to vanish when I needed her the most?

Pushing the thoughts aside, I carefully attempted to stand, my legs still a little numb from being immobile for so long. I had to get up. I had to move. I quickly changed into fresh clothes, determined to get back to Utopia and figure out the next steps. I needed to put a plan in place with Alvara. Once we had that, I could finally get my...well, mother to safety, back to Sancta Vedelia, where she belonged.
