Zeke paused in his tracks and asked anxiously, “What happened to Lacey? Why isn't she waking up? Did you do something to her? Wake up, Lacey! I'm here to save you!”
For some reason, Zeke's voice seemed to work wonders.
Lacey slowly opened her eyes and glanced about in confusion. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief when her gaze fell upon the crack in time and space.
Zeke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was awake. “I'm so glad you're all right, Lacey! You really gave me quite the scare back there! Come on! I'm here to get you out!”
“Follow behind me! We'll get out of here together!” Quinlan added.
Lacey gave it some thought before nodding decisively. “Okay!”
Just like that, Quinlan and Lacey made their way toward the crack with the former leading the way.
Quinlan then jumped into the air and squeezed his way through the crack with ease.
“Hahahaha! Yes! I'm finally out of there! It feels great to be free! The people who locked me up in there and the beasts that betrayed me shall pay with their lives! I, Quinlan Hayes, am back and ready to get my revenge!”
Quinlan's voice echoed throughout Dragon King Pit, much to King of Dragons' displeasure. “Shut up! Dragon King Pit is a place for peaceful meditation and cultivation!”
Quinlan immediately went silent with a look of fear on his face.
He knew better than to mess with the dragon.
As Quinlan had jumped out of the parallel universe, it was Lacey's turn to do the same.
However, she simply paced about in front of the crack and refused to come out.
“What are you waiting for, Lacey? Come on out!” Zeke yelled anxiously.
“I'm sorry, Zeke. I... I can't leave just yet,” Lacey replied with a sigh.
What? Why?
