Chapter 99: Endless Chain (2)
Cades woke up in his warm and comfortable bed, and as he looked around, trying to really wake up and locate himself, he realized what day it was.
And as he looked around, seeing his room that he had designed himself back when he was just six years old, he began to smile wildly, his heart starting to fill with glee at the prospect of this day finally having arrived.
He began to quickly walk down the stairs, his small still puffy wings not being able to fly yet, they were far too small and weak in relation to his body after all.
