After everything, Darian stood at the top of a hill, watching people build and work. He turned to Niara, who was silent.
"Endi's gonna help you now, so don't worry. You can't use your body, but since I'm your Summoner, I can help you create a physical manifestation like mine. That way you'll be able to walk around on your own and even train. Just… since you don't have rings, you won't be able to change it after it's created. But I promise, I'll find a way to heal you faster. Soon, we'll be running around like we used to."
A heavy silence filled the air. Darian found it strange but waited patiently.
A few minutes later, her voice echoed in his mind, quieter than usual.
'I don't want a physical manifestation.'
"Oh? Planning to just… stay asleep inside your body until I come back to pull you out?" Darian asked, obvious confusion in his voice.
'Don't play dumb, Darian,' she snapped back, a hint of emotion in her words.
