I forced my heavy eyelids open.
The medical room was exactly the same as we had left it. The small lamp on the corner table was still casting a soft, yellow glow across the stone walls. The old healer was still standing near the door, his eyes wide with worry.
Right beside me, Lady Hailee let out a long, shaky breath and took her hands away from my head. She staggered backward a little, her face looking incredibly pale and covered in sweat. She had used a massive amount of her own energy to pull my soul back from the spirit world.
"Aurora..." Lady Hailee whispered, her tired blue eyes looking down at me desperately. "Did... did you find him?"
Before I could even answer, a loud, heavy gasp echoed through the quiet room.
My head snapped toward the bed.
