Chapter 139: Another Battle (1)
As Adrian slowly opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a soft bed, sunlight filtering through the curtains.
He looked around the room, but everything felt unfamiliar following his dream-like state. It was as if he had been abruptly transported from one reality to another.
In the dream, he was back on earth, living peacefully with his friends. Life was good, but suddenly, everything disappeared. All he saw was blood and a minotaur’s laughter chasing him into the darkness.
That’s when he woke up with a start, trying to piece everything together. Only then did he realise he had been dreaming all along.
’What the hell was that about?’
Blinking away the grogginess, Adrian tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his body, forcing him right on his back. It was then he heard someone’s voice.
"Easy there, Adrian," came a gentle voice beside him.
Startled, Adrian turned his head to see A’Mila sitting in a chair beside the bed, looking at him with a smile. Her arm and most of her limbs were wrapped in bandages. She had a smile on her face, but even though she was smiling, Adrian noticed the concern in her gaze.
"Hey..." Adrian replied in his broken, groggy voice.
"How was your sleep, princess?" A’Mila teased him, waiting for the healers to arrive.
"Yeah, feels like I’ve been out for ages," he murmured with a weak smile.
