"Ghg" The Royal's head was spinning. She had just woken up a few minutes ago and nearly broke something in her panic. After last night when her senses finally returned to normal (or rather they stabilized enough. Technically her senses are still very enhanced and it seems like it'll remain that way). But back to the point, she nearly broke something when she realized that she woke up in her old bedroom. "So that means I wasn't seeing things.." Sila narrowed her eyes and gripped the blanket harder. "The Solid I saw yesterday was real, and that means he brought me back-" Suddenly the door creaked, and Sila quickly went into a defensive position. Many of the things she originally had with her were nowhere to be found in her room, this included her grimoire, sword from Elyas, and Lydia's flute. To summarize, Sila couldn't do much besides conjuring up some mercury around her in the form of sharp spikes that could easily pierce someone.

The door started to open and Sila used one of the mercury spikes she conjured to aim at whoever was entering. Finally, the door opened and she sent the spike flying. However, the person at the door managed to dodge with little effort, and Sila took a good look at them.

"Nozel onii-sama?" her throat dried up. She had just attacked her brother and if he wasn't as well versed in combat as he was it wouldn't have been pretty. And behind him, her other brother and older sister followed. Once all three of them were inside Solid closed the door and Sila could do nothing but stare at them in shock.

"Silalynn" Nozel's voice unexpectedly filtered into her thoughts and she realized she had stared for too long.

"...Onii-sama.." Silalynn murmured.

"What happened to you?!- are you ok?!" Solid rushed to her side after there were tears that made their way down her face. Sila smiled to herself, sure it had only been a year but Solid was still the same. He still cared so much for her- wait, where was her last sibling?

"Where's Noelle?" Sila looked all her siblings in the eye in confusion.

"Never mind her" Solid started and Nebra continued, "Where were you for the last year?! And how come when you finally come back you're covered in injuries and..." Nebra's voice fell. First, she was confused about why they were brushing her off, sure Sila knew they probably thought Noelle was annoying when they were kids but what older sibling didn't think that! But this was strange, they were completely excluding her. Second, Sila turned toward Nozel and bit her lip, trying to figure out whether she should tell them what happened or twist the truth a little.
