A woman's head emerged slowly from the hot spring. She glanced around before her gaze locked onto Zora.
Moments later, the woman rose fully from the water.
Impressively, the water clinging to her clothes did not drip to the ground. Instead, as she stepped out of the pool, the droplets gathered together, compressing into a floating sphere of water before her.
The woman extended a hand, and the water sphere settled gently into her palm. Then, astonishingly, the water deconstructed into raw mana and flowed into her body.
The woman turned to face Zora.
