Chapter 26: Echoes Of Power
My eyes fluttered open, revealing a simple wooden ceiling with faint cracks. My back was pressed against a soft mattress. I was in a bed—Not my own of course. My torso was naked with bandages covering my chest area.
The same area that the Ironhide Bear clawed into.
"Ugh," I tried to sit up but the ache in my body did not allow me to. My whole body felt empty and tired. Although I could sense my mana returning bit by bit, it was still not enough. It still felt like a part of me was missing.
[Good morning, Noah] Dante greeted me, his deep voice resounded in my head which felt soothing.
'Good—Wait, how long did I sleep?' I asked him.
[A whole day] Dante replied bluntly.
Shit, I was asleep for a whole day?
'Where am I now?' I asked again, the room felt unfamiliar. It was not the room Aunt Josephine gave me to reside in. It was different. The room was almost empty keeping aside the bed on which I was currently lying down and the side table where a few medicines and bandages were kept.
Someone was nursing me.
[You are at the same Tavern in one of the Guest rooms]
'I see, did you see who was nursing me?' I asked.
