1 The Sleeper has awoken

Huh...

What in the.....

He opened his eyes, blinking hard as his eyes were trying to cope with the blinding sunbeam that covered his face.

What??Where am I??

The last thing I remember is.....

Huh!!!I don't remember anything!!

Slowly, wincing in pain....

Wait a second!!What caused all this pain??

He sat up and looked around where he was. He had been laying on a bed, which was more like a bench, with only a pillow.His long snow white hair covered his gorgeous face. His body was covered in wounds,nothing less and nothing more than just wounds. His wounds were so deep and many that a normal human being would die instantly but surprisingly, for him, these wounds were not so much of a pain, just a simple sort of pain. Slowly, he studied his body.His feet,too, were covered in wounds. He was injured thoroughly.

Holy Heavens!!! What happened to me??

He couldn't clearly remember a thing.

He tried hard, wincing in pain and forcing his memories to show themselves but they couldn't. He couldn't remember what exactly happened to him, how he got here or how he got so many wounds. He couldn't even contemplate how he woke up just now in this desolate and questionable room.

Hey!!Wait a minute!!

Observing the room carefully, he figured out this room was a.....

CELL!!What am I doing in this place??

"Hey!!" he called, he could barely hear himself.

His voice was hoarse, that's when he realized his throat was dry and parched. He sounded like he hadn't eaten or drank anything in months.

Realizing this, he was much more desperate to know everything than ever.....

"Finally, the sleeper has awoken!!" a voice filled the cell. The person speaking sounded unmoved and at the same time angered.

"Huh!!" he gasped,his voice barely a whisper.

"I think you need some water!!" the person said again.

Wafting in mid air came a tumbler of water, it moved like someone invisible was carrying it.

He grabbed the glass and gulped it down, without hesitating and sighed, finally relieved. His throat started to feel a whole lot better, giving him his voice back.

"Welcome back from the land of the dead!!" the voice echoed through the room again.

"Show yourself!!" he said,with all the strength he could muster.

"You're still weak!!Get some more rest!!I'll send someone to bring some food for you!!" tcame the answer.

"Atleast,give me a name!!" he begged.

He didn't know why he sounded desperate.Desperate to know the person who he was speaking to just now.

"I'm Anselm!!" came the reply.

Judging by his voice, Anselm must be someone old and someone male. He couldn't see who he was because he didn't show himself, and the cell wasn't so lit up, a big potion of it was covered in a thick shadow.
