Thunder brought me home quickly, and hastily set me down on the couch in the living room. I was struggling at this point to stay conscious.

"Sleep, (Y/n). You'll be of no use until you recover." Thunder murmured to me. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

I listened to him leave, and slowly fell asleep. My breathing was steady, and deep. I could feel myself get enveloped in darkness.

I suddenly opened my eyes, to see nothing but a vast expanse of blue before me. It was like I was underwater. Then I realized that I was.

I blinked, and attempted clawing to the surface, but all I did was sink. I sunk faster and faster into the dark, until I couldn't see anything but the faint light above me.

"Your new kwami will know what to do. Do not fear." The male voice murmured, close to my right ear. When I turned, he wasn't there. My lungs throbbed in agony.

"Be safe, child. Your new kwami will explain everything to you." The woman had a smile in her voice. I could tell.

I decided that this was all just a bad dream.

I woke up to see Tripp on my chest, smiling at me. "Thrip's home!"
