A burning candle's sweet and floral scent flitted into Kanaru's nose. It smelled different from the scented candles in his dream, slowly stirring Kanaru awake. When Kanaru opened his eyes, he quickly realized the different material around him.
It was silken sheets, but they didn't smell anything like Fenris. The air reminded him of the neighboring ocean, but the scent was too tame as if mixing with flowers and other things.
"This isn't Middlemist…" Kanaru slowly rose from the bed. He felt pain from his entire body, primarily on his back. Did he crash into boulders on his way down?
"Wait… Voshiem?" Kanaru looked around. He remembered how they went down that time. However, he was alone right now. Did their captors do something to Voshiem? Why would they put him up while declining care for the person who looked worse?
