It's been so long…
Too long since I last saw sunlight.
As my body and my army stepped out of the dungeon, the world seemed to welcome us with a warmth I never thought I missed yet now, I did. The golden light of the sun softly kissed my pale skin, reflecting off the black chains wrapped around my arms.
I had to readjust myself.The brightness stung my eyes, long accustomed to darkness, and the fresh air felt… piercing. Yet strangely, comforting.
"To that big tree," I said softly, pointing toward the trees in the distance. My troops moved silently, with my little dragon once a dungeon boss following at my side like a loyal pet.
Once we reached the base of the massive tree, I sat down, leaning against the dragon's warm body, which rose and fell slightly with its heavy breath. The two werewolves sat close on either side, guarding me, while the elf zombie and drake stood like sentinels among the bushes.
