Allegiances [1]

"Hnngh…"

August's mind returned to consciousness in an extremely groggy state.

He actually came back to the world of the living before his body did, so for a few seconds, he sat there and did his best to open his eyes before succeeding.

Still, he eventually did.

Luckily, the few seconds he spent with them closed let him register the light shining through his eyelids and adapt to it. He wasn't immediately blinded when he opened them, but it did still hurt.

He sat up, curiously feeling his body.

'I'm…fine?'

The last thing he remembered was being murdered by Eris Noct. He didn't expect to wake up with not a single indication of injury on his body.

But, that was the case.

It was the power of draconic healing. August's body was a mess when he came out of the labyrinth.
