Regaining Sight

In the morning...

Leon woke from his sleep, but all that greeted him was endless darkness.

Well, that wasn't surprising—he was blind, after all. At least until his dragon powers returned—only then could he see.

"You're already awake? I brought you some food," came a soft voice from beside him.

Leon flinched slightly and turned his head to the right, then gave a small smile. "Thank you, Jasmine. Sorry for the trouble."

He and Jasmine didn't actually know each other. But she had been nothing but kind to him, even going so far as to prepare breakfast.

If he hadn't sensed that Jasmine was a genuinely good person, he might have been suspicious of her intentions.

Jasmine returned his smile and replied, "It's okay. I'm doing this because I want to. Now sit up—I'll feed you."

Leon gave a small nod and quickly sat up. Under her care, he was once again carefully fed.
