I cracked open my eyes. My head pulsed slightly, making a tiny little beep sound each time. The curtains of the canopy bed I’d fallen asleep in in the castle tower looked different. They were blue with...swirls on them, and what kinda looked like stylized Staryu. Weird, I could have sworn they’d been like...purple, and velvety. A sharp smell entered my nostrils, like the alcohol prep pads my Mom used on my cuts before she put a bandage on. When I was a kid, that is. I could do my own bandaids now.

A shockwave knocked me down on my butt and sent Simipour tumbling. The heat from the Flare soaked through my hoodie and left me sweating in just seconds. “What the heck?!” I exclaimed, scrambling to my feet. My
