How long had passed? Johnnie opened his eyes again, feeling dazed.
The room was dark, and the heavy smell of blood was gone. His body was still stiff and painful, but he was wrapped in bandages.
Had he been rescued?
He felt confused. How had he survived the Beast Wave attack? Even if he hadn't been hit by the Troll and thrown into the air, he would have been crushed by the following wave of monsters.
"Hey, kid, you're awake." a deep, old voice suddenly said.
Johnnie started in surprise and looked around.
It was an old woman, sitting by his side with a trembling body. Her face was full of wrinkles, but she still managed a smile as she said."You don't need to be afraid. I was looking for my son's body, but I found you still alive. I brought you back. Maybe this is fate."
Her smile was sad, almost creepy.
