Amidst his blurry vision, the world distorted. With some difficulty, Orion could make out the faint figure of the Princess of the Garden kneeling beside him.
Her hands reached out toward him, her right hand gently tracing from his hair down to his neck. Her voice, with a warm and soothing tone, penetrated the pain.
"I know it's painful," the Princess of the Garden said, her words offering comfort to Orion as he fought through the discomfort.
"But don't worry, once this is over, your life will no longer be in danger." Her caring smile illuminated her face as she observed his struggle to stay conscious.
His eyelids threatened to close, as though he was teetering on the edge of unconsciousness, until finally, they sealed shut, and Orion slipped into wonderland.
