When Akris woke up, he felt like he has went down to rumble with a golem. His body was hurting like he was going to die any second now, his back especially felt like someone has applied a layer of thick fish paste and left a wild cat on it —— it was simply excruciating! And what was this god-awful taste in his mouth? He smacked his lips and another burst of bitterness spread all over his mouth and Akris opened his eyes, when he realised that the person responsible for the bitter taste was none other than the healer of the tower, he narrowed his eyes and croaked, " What are you doing … Jeremy? Do you want to die? Wh...What are you feeding me?"
Everyone in the palace knew that he hated anything bitter and hard to chew, so why was he being fed something so horrible for no reason at all?
