With Head Held High (End)
[Storyteller's POV]
Just a few seconds before Layland realized that he was undergoing his Awakening, the people who were watching him undergoing it were silently looking at his motionless body. All of them wondered about what made him that tranquil.
It is a well-known fact that anyone who undergoes Awakening will be spasming intensely or, at least, screaming incoherently as their body endures the excruciating pain the ritual brings them.
Layland however, even though his entire body was covered in bulging black veins that should make him feel pain, didn't even show a slight indication that he was in pain. He just looked like someone who sleeps while standing.
While Millonia and Valeria were looking at that Layland in slight worry, Ilschevar was pondering about what could possibly happen inside Layland's Mindscape.
