Calm after the Storm

Lucerne awoke in a small, but comfortable bed. Her body was sore, especially her left arm which was covered in bandages. She sat up, and looked around bewildered, trying to find out where she was.

What was I....?

The memories came back to her in a flash. The fight against Mayor Rokar. The destruction of the castle. Rocks falling down, burying all of them.

"Lucerne! You are awake!" A familiar voice called out from the door. Lucerne looked over there, seeing Raorka standing at the door and almost burst out in tears of joy.

"Where am I?" She managed to ask.

Raorka smiled at her. "The Temuril General Hospital. It was the only one, but the best one in town, I was assured."

She was safe. And so was Raorka. The floodgates burst open, and without warning Lucerne began to cry, even as a smile formed on her face.
