"Boss!"
The sound echoed through Zara's ears, and as her consciousness floated in a haze, she couldn't immediately identify whose voice it was.
The scream pulled her back toward awareness, though her vision was still blurry. As her senses recovered enough to register her surroundings, she saw Varek's face close to hers, along with…
'Eliza…Laneford?'
Zara blinked at their pale expressions and forced herself to speak. "…How long was I out?"
"Just a few seconds," Varek replied, his voice clearly strained. "But boss..."
His words stopped midway as though something held them back.
Zara tried to rise, only to realise she couldn't put any strength into her body, and it was then she noticed that Eliza's hands hovered above the right side of her body, glowing with powerful magic.
