'What was that ring?'
Even though Cael saw it only for a brief moment, he instantly knew it was not a normal ring.
There was something about it.
Something unsettling that refused to leave his mind.
Cael didn't know why, but he couldn't stop thinking about it, as the image of that silver ring with blue patterns lingered in his thoughts like a stain that wouldn't fade.
Taking a deep breath, Cael forced himself to push the thought aside for now.
'Where am I?'
He slowly looked around and realized he was lying on his bed, the familiar surroundings grounding him back in reality.
Beside him, seated calmly on a chair, Elowyn was reading a book.
The soft light in the room reflected gently off the pages, giving the scene a quiet and almost peaceful atmosphere.
Cael let out a quiet sigh as fragments of memory returned.
He remembered how he tried to copy mana absorption and circulation, only to fail and end up resonating instead.
