William dreamed.
A dream that he had never had before.
Haleth, Amelia, Pearl, Priscilla, a pretty lady with a single horn on her forehead, a green-haired beauty with a tail that resembled that of a lizard, and a Half-ling who looked like a doll that was only a little more than three feet tall held on to his body.
All of them caressed him in different places, and murmured something in his ears, but he was not in a condition to understand what they were saying.
All he knew was that the places they touched made him feel warm, and at peace.
It made him feel that everything was going to be alright.
William didn't know how long he spent in that world, in the company of these ladies. But, with each day that passed, he was starting to grasp his fleeting thoughts. Day by day, he felt strength returning to his body.
