|Arthur's POV|

"—thur..! ARTHUR!!!" My eyes snapped open at hearing my name being called, a groan leaving me as I bolted up into a sitting position. I took in my surroundings, realizing that I was back in my body, in the cave with an unconscious Cecilia and Regis.

An aurora of sorts drifted around my form, a low hum reverberating around the cave and I could feel the subtle vibrations around me. The aether within the cave trembled erratically around me, pushing and pulling against my being. My body felt light, my breaths coming out in slow, controlled spurts as I looked down at the runes engraving itself into my skin.

The runes glowed against my skin, showing different colors. They are intricate and detailed  as they carved into me, yet I felt no pain. Slowly, the runes settle into my body and a thrum of  intense pulsations located in my chest fills me with an arcane source of deep peace.

After a few moments, the lights flickered away and dimmed to nothing as the runes disappeared into my skin. My thoughts silenced as my eyes flickered over to Regis, who sat slack jawed with wide eyes. His eyes roamed my body, as he sat silently gawking at me.

"This is the most quiet you've ever been...it's unnerving." I chuckled as I felt Regis probe my mind, in search of answers to his unspoken questions. We continued to sit in silence as he rummaged through my memories.

"Y-you...what?" He finally spoke. As I continued to watch him in amusement, I noticed a white patch of...fur? It was centered right between his horns. I could see small wisps of what seemed like white-ish blue fire rising up from the white fur-like patch. I stood and made my way over to him, pulling his head down to get a closer look, much to his dismay.

Golden runes etched in a circle around the white patch on his head, the runes interconnecting with the runes winding around his horns. Small words in an ancient language could be seen as I pulled him closer to get a better look.

"I didn't think you were into beastiality, princess." At hearing his mocking tone and laughter, I pushed him away from me with a look of disgust and disbelief before I could try to decipher the meaning of his runes.

"What is wrong with you, Regis?" I sighed in exasperation as I looked over at Cecilia, who was sitting up and watching us. Her eyes are wide as she sprung up to her feet, mana forming around her...

Mana?

I could see the ambient mana forming around her, heeding her will as she took on a fighting stance.

I can see mana again?!

Before I could come to a full understanding of the situation, a ball of fire mana forms in front of her before bursting, acting as a bomb. Wind rushes past me along with hot fire at the sudden explosion. The cave around us rumbles as cracks start to form in the cavern walls, rock falling to the ground as smoke and dust took to the air.
