VOLUME ONE - PART 2: THE PROTECTOR OF SOLGRIM

Chapter 14 - The Fruit of Struggle

It took a full two days of rest before Beam awoke again after his battle, his body bruised and battered. He rolled out of his bed with a groan, his eyes struggling to adjust to the world around him. After a while, he finally recognized the familiar surroundings of Dominus' campsite.

Somehow, even though nothing about the campsite had changed, it looked different. Beam squinted, noting that the blurriness of his eyes that he'd felt during combat was still there, albeit to a much lesser degree.

His left eye was finally opened too now, though it was still swollen from the bruising and it hurt to touch.
