Ji Yan's eyelids fluttered as she fought to keep the drowsiness at bay but it was just so nice and comfortable inside the toasty blanket.
The heat from the campfire warmed her face while the occasional crackle and pop of the burning logs acted like a siren's call lulling her back to sleep.
She held the blanket tighter while smiling foolishly in her sleep, trying to remember the last time she felt this good. Probably not since her 10th birthday when she officially became the Song Clan's Princess. Everything after that had been...a blur.

The first thing she saw was the misty fog swirling in the darkness overhead like an ocean of rain clouds.
'Am I...outside?' was her first thought which was quickly followed up by the recent events, 'No I was- that slave, Jin! What happened?!'
