257 THE INFORMATION

Veronica woke up with a pain in her back. 

'Ow! Ow! Ow! My back hurts!'

Her expression changed as the pain was unbearable. 

She wondered why she was in pain. Remembering the last incident, she was stunned.

'Wait, I can feel pain. Does that mean I'm alive?'

She opened her eyes and saw a brown ceiling. 

'Hmm? I'm not in the river?' 

As she tried to get up, her back throbbed and almost made her numb.

"Ver!"

A cheerful voice could be heard.

Veronica looked down and saw Rulas. He looked radiant. His olive eyes were filled with joy as she gazed at her,

"Rulas!" Veronica exclaimed, momentarily forgetting that she was in pain.

"Are you okay, Rulas? Are you in pain?" she repeatedly asked as she scanned him up and down.

The five year old elf child shook his head. He trotted forward and grabbed her hand.
