Chapter 49: A Plan [Golden Ticket Bonus]
Water sloshed around, a figure slowly standing from its depths. Then, it went oddly still. But deep within, the figure was still approaching the surface.
When the figure fully appeared, it looked as though they stepped out of a mirror rather than a stream of liquid. The sight was almost surreal, like the water didn't dare to be loud in its presence.
Theron's head emerged, his hair sparse compared to its previous length. However, his skin, while a bit pink and tender, was no longer the charred mess it was before.
'How long has it been... a month...'
He looked up to the skies, the moon beaming down at him once again. Judging by the phase change, it had actually been so long.
The aura of the Seventh Resonance pooled out of him in a slight shift as he pulled at the water around him, rising to the surface.
His clothing was completely gone, and there was nothing on his person but the dagger in his hand and the necklace that hung from his neck.
Then there was his skin itself that almost seemed like an accessory to his body, hanging loosely and limply to his bone. He looked exactly like someone who hadn't eaten for a month.
There was a weak languidness to him that belied the sharpness in his eyes.
