A New Day

Going from waking on some random street and being barely able to view the sky due to mass amounts of smoke to this...was simply unbelievable.

The entire vast light-blue color was laid out for him to see, and the scent of freshly cooked food flooded his nostrils.

His back no longer ached when he woke up.

He could sleep through the whole night without being woken up by any drunkards or random beggars.

He could sleep calmly and well without the worry that he would robbed or kidnapped and sold off into trafficking.

He could sleep without worrying about how he was going to feed himself tomorrow.

And...he could dream.

Back in his hometown, all his desires to be rich and learn magic were so far away, but now they were right in front of him...within arms' reach.

It was as if he had received a second chance at life.

Shaking his head, Athen smiled and sat up, leaning against the pillow while staring out the massive window to his right.
