After what felt like eternity, Skyler's eyes finally flickered open. He groaned, feeling the ache in his overexerted muscles...
Wait a second. Now that he noticed, with his senses returning, he felt no pain in his body, only a warm, comforting feeling. He didn't even feel hungry! As if he were full!
'Huh...!?'
His eyes snapped open with a start. They were a bit dazed as he glanced around. The blue within them gleaming with an ethereal glow before the ethereal glow vanished.
"What the?"
It took him a moment to recall all that had occurred before he lost consciousness. He shuddered and closed his eyes to check his lightning elemental crystal, which he knew had cracked a bit before he blacked out.
A look of utter bewilderment washed over his face as he frantically searched for even the slightest fissure in his lightning crystal!
But there was nothing! In fact, it seemed even more robust than before! How in the world was that even possible?
