His ears were ringing.

Martyn remembered the life that came before. When he gained awareness loading into the new world, he knew what the rules were supposed to be. Everyone else had forgotten, he should’ve, but he hadn’t been in the reach of the watchers. Falling through the sky endlessly until he crash landed in his body in a way that made him feel like he’d just woken up into a person that wasn’t supposed to exist. He lifted his head, letting his eyes pass over all of the people standing around the enchantment table, catching on Ren for a second. Martyn let out a small sigh, bracing himself for the teleport that Grian was talking about, though he could barely hear it through the constant ringing in his ears that happened when he was around the watcher for too long.
