'ZZZZZZ....' Cyran snored intensely.

This is a secret, but he is a deep sleeper and a loud snorer.

Benedict, along with guard 2, was standing irritated by his loud snoring.

'My god, I swear this kid will bring the castle down with his snoring!' he groaned.

'Which sixteen-year-old snores like that? He snores like my great uncle after a good harvest!' guard two complained.

'It's the queen's orders. There's nothing we can do about it. Even if this one snores like a giant.' he sighed.

The sun was setting and the sky darkened.

Suddenly, Red-head showed up out of nowhere.

'Enough of this bickering. I need to see the boy.' he declared.

'But commander, I do not think the boy is awake enough to answer any questions.' Benedict sputtered.

'I will decide that!' he roared.

They both exchanged looks and opened the heavy, wooden door.

There they saw Cyran, curled up and snoring like a whale.

'AH! what is this snoring? He snores like my great uncle after a good harvest!' Red-head muttered.

'My words exactly, commander!' Guard two exclaimed.
