Strange inner world 2.

"How bad was it?"

"Only this castle was illuminated"

'There was practically no light, was he that stressed?'

Then after having walked for a long time we arrived at our destination.

We are in what appears to be the throne room of the castle.

Then Dracov steps to the side pointing his arm forward and speaks loud and clear to me.

"I present to you the throne room of the castle of power"

Then he shows me that strange stone chair that is covered in vines on the front.

I freeze for a moment.

Although his words sound solemn and can make that place seem like something majestic, there I only see a stone chair inside a ruined castle that is not related to something majestic at all.

"Don't worry about the appearance, I'm sure that in the future you will improve this place making it truly majestic and powerful"

Then upon hearing his words he pointed his finger at me.

"Me, I don't think I can do something like that, just look at the size of this place, how do you expect me to renovate it by myself and even if it's the two of us I don't think we can do it in a short time"

"You are confusing things again, here they are not handled with the concepts of reality, when I mean that you will make this place majestic and powerful, I mean that you will be the one to do it by growing in all aspects"

"Again I don't understand you at all, please can you put it in simple words"

When he is about to explain to me he stops for a moment getting thoughtful.

"It seems that your time here has been shortened so I will give you a brief explanation, when you are powerful then this place will be too..."

That was the last thing I heard because then I felt that everything went dark.

.

..

...

At the same time that I am aware of myself, I begin to feel terrible pain.

'My whole body hurts!'

Then I open my eyes and see a familiar ceiling.

When I try to get up I feel the pain getting stronger.

"Ah...(groans of pain)"

"I would not recommend you get up, your wounds have barely closed"

Then I hear a familiar voice next to me that alerts me.

Then I only turn around to see a Satsuki who has a calm temperament but I can see some concern on her face.

"Your wounds are terrible without mentioning your bleeding, it seems that my other self exceeded"

Hearing those words, an understanding of the situation comes to mind.

'The other Satsuki came back?'

Thinking of this makes me feel relieved.

"How long have I been passed out?"

"I don't know clearly but it's already night, you shouldn't move much, your wounds have barely closed"

'Night? not much time passed'

"Here, you shouldn't be hungry after losing so much blood"

Then I see that in her hand she is holding a bowl of soup.

Seeing I only have the thought of eating, I'm very hungry right now but I can't move my hands much less my body so I can't sit down.

Then she reaches out to support me with her arm.

"Uh-..."

So, enduring the pain I can sit.

So I can see my body better; I'm bare-chested, covered in bandages.

Then I look forward where I can see the plate in front of me, I try to raise my hand but I feel intense pain again.

Then she sticks close to me and lifts the spoon of soup to feed me.

This whole process seems very natural, almost seeming to forget that this woman was the one who almost killed me twice.

After finishing the soup she goes to wash it.

Seeing her back makes me remember the times she had when she was with my mother.

'This Satsuki looks like an angel, I wish she was here forever'

Then the feeling of sleep comes over me after having this last thought.

.

..

...

I open my eyes and what I see is a familiar ceiling.

When trying to get up I feel intense pain, especially in the upper part of my body but it is less than the previous time.

"Don't move, your wounds haven't healed yet"

Then I hear Satsuki's voice next to me.

I turn to see Satsuki lying next to me in her underwear.

"Why are you naked?"

It's the first thing that comes to mind, if I remember correctly this nudity was what made me have these wounds.

"I feel uncomfortable sleeping with clothes"

'I think your discomfort cost me dearly'

When I'm looking at Satsuki's semi-naked body I notice the bandages she has around her shoulder.

"Your Wounds"

Then she turns her attention to her bandages.

"Are you? Don't worry, just a few small wounds, very incomparable to yours"

So after saying that she gets out of bed to change her clothes.

"I'll go cook breakfast, I won't be long so don't move, it won't happen and worsen your health"

Then she walks out the door leaving the room.

Then I look out the window where the sun is rising over the horizon.

'Yesterday was a very lively day, I almost lost my life but luckily there is the other Satsuki'

Then I stare at the ceiling for a while.

'I don't want to be here bedridden, maybe I should try the ring, I think as long as I don't use it too much it shouldn't be dangerous'

So I activate my ring.

When I do, I feel a warm current running through my body, making the pain go away.

So I try to move my hand and I don't feel much pain anymore.

Then I get out of bed.

'Although it still hurts, it is still in the tolerable range'

I put on a pole.

Then I start walking towards the first floor.

Then I see Satsuki who is in the kitchen.

"Why did you get up? Your wounds are not completely healed"

Then I see that she has come closer to me.

"Don't worry, look I'm better now"

So I exchange a couple of words with her explaining that I'm fine, to which in the end I don't need to say much because she doesn't get too pushy.

Then when I sit on a chair I screech that someone knocks on the door.

Satsuki quickly goes to answer.

"Hey Satsuki wait, I'll answer"

Hearing my words then she stays still and goes back to where she was before.

So she stopped me and headed for the door.

So when I open the door I find someone familiar.

"What does this mean?"
