The sterile scent of healing herbs hung heavy in the dimly lit, unknown chamber. Long Haochen stirred, his bandaged form shifting against the soft bedding. Pain had dulled to a distant throb, replaced by a fragile warmth. He sat up slowly, dark blue eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings with cautious clarity. In the corner, a solitary figure sat in a chair, engrossed in a book, oblivious to his awakening. The knight’s posture remained rigid, assessing the stranger not as a threat, but as an enigma in this quiet sanctuary.
