He is asleep

Beneath a bundle of green leaves encased in a soft layer of glistening ice, a tiny figure stirred, and a pained groan echoed through the dark space filled with towering trees.

A small wing broke free from the leaves, followed by a sharp curse that pierced the stillness. Bia struggled to pull her tiny body from the soft, cold leaves that felt as heavy as mountains. Her red-rimmed eyes glowed in the darkness, scanning her surroundings with a mix of confusion and bewilderment.

-"I am still alive... but what happened?"

First and foremost, she assessed her body to confirm all her limbs were still intact and let out a loud sigh of relief.

However, the cold aura surrounding her and the ache in her body reminded her that what she had experienced was no dream.

She glanced up at the canopy of countless twinkling stars and the large, bright moon before attempting to sense Kyle's location through their connection.
