Prince Algis jumped in surprise. His last memory was of a gray wolf lunging at him. To protect Prince Algis, the knight assigned to guard him jumped up, using his own body as a shield. As a result of the impact on the head, Prince Algis was knocked unconscious.
Then what about the knight who made himself Prince Algis' protector? Was the young man still alive?
"Prince--are you alright?"
Prince Algis turned his head and found Adriana looking at him with a worried gaze. Had she survived? Or was this the afterlife? And he was looking at the memories he most wanted to see.
"Adriana?"
"Yes, Prince, it's me! Is something wrong? Do you feel pain?" Adriana was getting more and more anxious.
Prince Algis pinched the back of his hand. It hurt. He was not dreaming and the pain made him realize that he was still alive. "What about the knights who were with me? Are they still alive?"
