"K-kazimir... Where am I? What happened?" She said as she massaged her forehead trying to ease her splitting headache.
"Mother! Oh thank goodness you woke up!"
Finally seeing his mother opening her eyes after staying unconscious for about a few minutes, Kazimir's blue eyes glistened with relief as he exclaimed.
"We are in the temple's infirmary. You suddenly collapsed in the middle of the cleansing rites. Father had you sent here and I accompanied you to check your condition!"
