Alex had been resting when he felt the familiar disturbance.
At first, it was only a faint fluctuation in his connection. Something he had almost forgotten how to recognize after such a long period.
His eyes opened.
He immediately sat up.
The sensation became clearer.
A familiar presence.
One he had been unable to summon for far too long.
Alex's expression changed.
Before he could even stand, a silver radiance appeared nearby.
The light gathered into a human silhouette, gradually revealing a beautiful woman with long silver hair and captivating silver eyes.
For a moment, neither moved.
Silveria looked at him.
Alex looked back.
Then she smiled.
"Alex."
He stood.
"...Silveria?"
Her smile widened slightly.
"Did you miss me?"
Alex didn't answer immediately.
He crossed the distance between them in a few steps and pulled her into his arms.
Silveria's eyes widened for a brief moment.
Then her expression softened.
