The crossroads of death

Gary was slowly regaining consciousness and the pain he felt on his head had finally subsided and he could only feel some sort of cold and wet substance as light as paper. And judging from the smell that his nose caught, it was probably a leaf made too sooth the pain.

That had to be the least of his worries, and in a swift motion, he immediately rouse up from his sleeping position, breathing heavily as his stamina seemed to had suffered a toll from all this.

"Ah, you're awake…" Triore mentioned with a smile as he passed a cup of greenish tea which he relieved while maintaining eye contact with him.

Triore was acting different and friendlier which would have been the weirdest of the bit, but what was he doing here as a fisherman and not as a captain back at the ship.

Confusion and unrest lay in his heart, pondering on what could have gone wrong that he had spaced out, starring at Triore.
