The cold was the first thing you felt before you fully returned to consciousness. Your body was heavy, your limbs stiff, as if something invisible was holding you. But then came the sound - the dull crack of breaking rock, the crackling of dust trickling out of fine cracks.

Suddenly there was light.

The world welcomed you with the gentle warmth of the sun on your skin, with the scent of earth and leaves. Your breathing became uneven, your knees gave way, and you fell forward straight into two strong arms.

"Calm down... I've got you."
