Inside the War Deity Council's healing chambers…
Kieran's eyelids fluttered, and his eyes opened after feeling a pleasant sensation against his skin. When he glanced to his left, he saw a charming young woman with peach-colored hair and soft green eyes.
Her eyebrows knitted as she exhausted herself to treat the gruesome wound on Kieran's shoulder. A few beads of sweat seeped down her forehead as she glanced up and noticed that Kieran's eyes were open.
Instead of being alarmed, she gave a precise order. "Please do not move. You will only exacerbate the wound and undo our hours of grueling work. Remain still until you are suitably healed."
Kieran didn't respond immediately, taking time to examine his surroundings. Because he couldn't pivot his head, his understanding of the room was somewhat lacking.
Furthermore, when he tried to perceive his surroundings by extending his senses, he noticed that it induced a mind-numbing headache.
