The light of consciousness slowly returned to Aether, and he felt the throbbing pain on his head. He tried to move his body, but it felt heavy and unresponsive. He opened his eyes and saw Venti lying nearby, also with a cut on his forehead. “Venti!” Aether called out to him, but there was no response. He tried to move closer to him, but he was still unable to move his body. He heard footsteps coming from the direction of the gangsters, and he felt a sense of panic rise within him.
Aether heard the gang members approaching him and Venti, and he knew they were going to finish the job. He tried to call for help, but his voice was barely audible. The footsteps were getting closer, and Aether knew he had to do something fast. But he was still unable to move his body, and the pain in his head was getting worse. Aether closed his eyes and prayed for a miracle. Suddenly, he felt a lightness in his body and a soft whisper in his ear. “Hang on.” It was Venti’s voice. Aether opened his eyes and saw Venti standing in front of him, looking battered and bruised, but still determined.
Venti raised his hand and a bright beam of light shone from it, hitting the gangsters who were about to attack Aether. The gangsters froze in shock, unable to move as the light enveloped them. “Run,” Venti shouted at Aether, grabbing him by the arm. They ran as fast as they could, not stopping until they were far away from the gangsters. Aether was panting and his head was still pounding, but he felt a sense of relief. Venti was beside him, holding his hand and guiding him. They finally reached a safe place where they could recover and Aether thanked Venti for saving his life.
