Chrysalis

Chapter 1208

Jern woke with a start.

“What was that?” he mumbled sleepily.

It’s me.

“Who’s me?” he wondered as he rubbed at his eyes.

Anthony.

“Who’s Anthony? Can I go back to sleep, Anthony?”

“I’m really tired, Anthony. Can this wait until the morning?”

I mean… it could? But I’ve already woken you up, so we may as well do this now. Can you go and get your friend?

“Wha… what? Which friend?”

The other golden glowy person. The girl.

“I’m already wearing pants.”
