"Where am I?" was all Ion could think as he took a slow glance at his surrounding, his vision very hazy as a lot of things were out of focus. He could feel that he was being carried by someone but before he could process who, pain started to engulf his body. It was intense as Ion started to clench his face and whimper out, not realizing he was clenching harder on to the one who was carrying him. It hurt so much, his gut, left shoulder and arm were just throbbing, he couldn't take it anymore but suddenly a calming and familiar voice could be heard in his ears. It was telling him not to worry, and everything would be fine, that Ion was wandering in the wrong direction and he was here to bring him "home". The pain started to ease a bit as the calming effect of the voice continued to echo through Ion's ears, though for whatever reason Ion couldn't figure out who it was. Ion was able to compose himself for a moment, calling out slowly to the one who was carrying him, the one who was helping him along in this hazy dreamscape, "who are you?"
The person carrying him stopped for a moment, turning his head towards Ion's saying "I know I have been gone for a while but you really don't remember me?" Ion slowly tried to open his eyes, his vision still blurry, only being able to make out a silhouette. Ion could hear the person make a small laugh as he continued "I am sure it will come back to you soon, I know I left your world years ago, but I never stopped watching over you, never stopped being by your side and I will continue to lift you up when you fall." Ion's vision slowly started to make it back to him, as he could now finally make out the face that had been talking to him, one that he had not scene in a long time, one that he missed dearly, all Ion could muster out were the words, "Flint?..." A large smile appeared on the person's face as he replied back to Ion "I knew you haven't forgotten" as the world around them seamed to be melting away, "I guess our time here is up." "Wait..." was all Ion could say, but as everything started to fade out, Flint told him "don't worry, I will always be here when you need me, our souls have crossed one another and I will never leave your side." as everything around Ion faded into darkness.
Ion slowly open his eyes as a dim light started to enter them, he could hear a few soft sounds next to him that seamed to be in sync with the feeling of his heart beating in his chest. Then a moment latter he could feel a hand grabbing his right one and when he went to try and grab it back with his left one, he realized he could move it as all he could see was a stump wrapped in bandages where his left arm should have been. The memories of what had happened started to flow back to him, that he took an attack to save his partner, to save.....Zephyr! In his mind, Ion panicked for a moment, hoping the Zephyr was ok and when he was able to finally get a look at the one who was holding his hand, Ion smiled in relief that Zephyr was the one holding onto it. The two were able to have a special moment with each other, with it getting revealed to Ion just how much damage was done to his body and how lucky he was to still be alive. Ion then though back to the short amount of time he spent in the dreamscape, he didn't know whether that was real or his mind hallucinating that to him because of the trauma he suffered, but with him being so close to death, Ion wondered if his dear departed friend did have anything to do with him surviving, as he could feel a warm presence flowing throughout his whole body now, the same warm presence he could swear he felt embracing him all those time he felt down or had fallen, after Flint had departed.
