Chapter 9- Inside Blackthorn[1]

His vision blurred as he staggered backword, his breath coming in rapsy breathing. The then ferocious beast now lay down in its own blood its once piercing eyes now dull and lifeless.

Rens's body screamed in protest, his leg wobbling as his body throbbed with unbearable pain, his arm felt like lead and his leg losing strength to support his body. As cold sweat dripped down his forehead, the world around him spun. His fingers trembled as he reached toward his torn side, feeling the warm, sticky wetness of his own blood seeping through his shredded clothes. His heartbeat pounded in his ears, drowning out everything else.

Then, the strength left him.

Ren collapsed.

Darkness swallowed him whole.

A soft rustling sound stirred him from unconsciousness. His body felt weightless, almost as if floating. A cool, unfamiliar scent filled his nostrils—lavender, mixed with something rich and musky. His eyelids fluttered open, and what met his gaze was nothing like the cold, brutal wilderness he had last seen.

A grand chandelier hung from an intricately carved ceiling, its golden light casting a soft glow across the room. The air was warm, the silk sheets beneath him impossibly smooth. The bed he lay upon was massive, draped in fine black and crimson fabric, embroidered with patterns he didn't recognize. A faint breeze carried in the muffled sounds of a bustling city beyond the open balcony.

Ren tried to move, but pain lanced through his limbs, forcing a sharp gasp from his lips. His body was wrapped in fresh bandages, the scent of medicinal herbs lingering in the air. Panic surged through him—where was he? How had he gotten here?
