Elaine
Wake up... Wake up... Wake up. Wake up!

Elaine jumped up sharply on the bed, nearly hitting her head on the flower dome. The dome started to rise, slowly spreading its petals, but it got stuck somewhere in the middle. Behind the dome, something incredible was happening. The room seemed to come alive. Vines were wriggling around, covering everything they could reach. They were preventing the dome over the bed from opening.

The room seemed to come alive. Absorbed by the movement, the life, and the danger emanating from the mysterious plant. It seemed to be the one subconsciously demanding that Elaine awaken from her sleep.

A bright flash illuminated the room, and it grew colder. Such a sudden change in atmosphere took the girl by surprise. Too much! The friction and rustling of the vines became almost unbearable, the bright flash cut her eyes, the constant movement around her made her feel lost. Too much! It was too much. She nearly collapsed from the sensations overwhelming her. She wanted to cower in the corner of the bed until she felt better. But when she closed her eyes, she felt a little better. After calming down and taking another look at what was happening, she began to think about what could be done.

The lianas were alive. And clearly malicious. They were already starting to bud, which meant flowers would soon appear. The cold flash was probably coming from Chantal in her part of the room, but right now it was hard to recognize what was going on there. The whole place was filled with vines.

The cold had slowed them down a bit. That was probably why the buds had not yet reached the point of blooming. Despite its evil intentions, this plant was responding to Ellein's power. That's why she heard the call when she woke up. Which means it can be contacted in reverse order.

- Calm down... Quiet... Freeze. - Her voice sounded quiet but confident.

She hadn't fully recovered yet and was feeling the strain of what was happening. Her movements were jerky, her thoughts confused. All the actions that were taking place were rather intuitive.

A slight movement of the hand, palms open. Magic began to fill the remaining shred of untouched surroundings. The lianas slowed, then stopped altogether. We had to get out.translated by DeepL
