The Queen of the forest

>>Adam

All the pain, the agony, the discomfort and aching had somehow vanished.

I felt like I was floating in some soft comfortable slime and my injuries were hurting less and less followed by something cozy and healing.

It felt so good I never wanted to leave the place.

...

When I opened my eyes I had to blink several times to let them focus. I noticed an unfamiliar ceiling and then my eyes wandered to the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had pale skin, silvery white hair, green eyes and pointy ears. She looked majestic.

“Who…?” I couldn’t speak properly and my voice came out faint.

She turned her head towards me, “You’re up?” It was an unfamiliar face but she talked to me as if there was nothing unusual here. Perhaps I was dead. Well, considering my injuries, that wasn't a surprise.

But still, it was upsetting.

“Am I dead?” I asked knowing full well I couldn’t have survived.
