A gasp escaped her lips as Lilith was jolted back to reality. Her eyes darted around the room while her trembling fingers threaded through her hair. Three faces hovered in her vision which belonged to Hades, Viktor, and Lucian, each one fixed on her with unmistakable worry.
"Lilith, are you alright?"
She slowly turned to Viktor, who stood on her right. "Yes," she whispered. Her mind was still hazy, her thoughts tangled and sluggish, leaving her movements a fraction too slow.
She pushed herself upright on the hard bench. "How long was I out?" she asked.
"About forty minutes," the prince replied.
Forty minutes? Lilith could've sworn she had spent hours in that realm.
Her gaze shifted to Hades when he placed a hand on the small of her back.
"What happened there? Did you meet the goddess?"
"Yes, I did."
