I woke up to… Silence? That was weird. Usually, the only reason I ever woke up was because someone was shouting at me to do so.

I felt like I was forgetting something, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Ah, well.

Then I noticed the smell. It definitely wasn't a bad smell; far from it. It could be none other than... Ice's fresh blueberry pie!

I shot up in bed, and my eyes flew open in search of the pie, causing me to figure out what I had forgotten. I didn't have time to worry about my vision, though, since I was immediately assaulted by numerous voices.

"Sun!"

"Sun's up!"

"It actually worked."

"He's awake!"

I heard these exclamations, and several others like them, coming from the people around me. It took me a moment to recognize them, since it had been so long since I had last 'seen' them, paired with the fact that, for some reason, my elemental vision wasn't working. They were the other holy knights. How had these people managed to be so quiet a minute ago?

Once the volume in the room was low enough, Leaf started talking and explaining things, as was usual of him.

"When you collapsed in the training grounds, you weren't waking up, even though you had no injuries. The pope said that it must have been some sort of mental attack, and tried everything that he could think of to get you up. Judgment finally sent Ice to get a blueberry pie."

So apparently pie would succeed for me where the pope's 'vast intelligence' failed.

I looked at everyone in the room again, and this time I took a careful count of everyone who was there. Eight knights and one rather grouchy looking pope. That made a total of ten Knights present, once I included myself and Cloud, whom I could never see.

The two that were missing would be Earth and Storm, who had been sent far away by the pope a few days ago. The old man had taken away my source of entertainment (not that I wanted him back), and my paperwork shield in one move!

Everyone was accounted for, but something didn't seem quite right.

"Well, he's awake now. Excuse me; I have other matters to attend to." The pope rushed from the room, still seeming upset that he had been beaten by my taste for sweets.

The thing with the count was still bothering me, so I tried again. Judgment, Ice, Blaze, Leaf, Stone, Cloud-

What the? I could see the ghost? Well it would explain my counting problem. I had assumed that I couldn't see him, and ended up counting him twice.

But why could I see Cloud? I had trouble finding him with my elemental vision, and now I could see him just fine with normal vision? Maybe it was some strange type of sight enhancement? I'd have to look into it.

Moon and Metal were also here, so that means that the other missing one was Roland.

Leaf had continued on talking the entire time I was figuring this out, and he just kept on talking and talking, as if it was keeping him sane. I started paying attention again when something he said caught my attention.

"…so glad you finally woke up, Sun. When you passed out after the earthquake, we also had to move-"

"Leaf." Judgment cut him off. They also had to move what? "Everyone out. Sun needs his rest." Why would I need rest? I had just gotten a nap, not that I was opposed to another one.

Nevertheless, everyone left quickly and without complaint, as if they had expected him to say that. Once they were all gone, the only ones left in my room were me and Judgment, yet I hadn't spoken a single word since I had woken up.

"What are you hiding?" I asked, before he could start talking about some other subject. We were alone, so it was fine for us to talk like normal people.

He didn't answer, questioning me instead. "Tell me what happened."

Not happening, I asked before you did. "I understand that you're worried about me, but I need to know what you're not telling me."

"Sun. Something caused you to pass out for a week. You have to tell me what it was."

Wait, I was out for a week? I wasn't even recovering from an injury, so why hadn't I woken up? Is it linked to the sudden restoration of my sight? Or maybe my loss of elemental vision?

Both of them began with that earthquake and whatever was in that crater.


In case anyone didn't get that, they don't know that Sun can see yet, since it's been too busy for him to tell them, and he's been acting like he could see even when he could't. I hope this story turns out well.
