Chapter 167: A Second Chance

I honestly couldn't find the words. He sounded so much like my uncle. I knew he was an Ereth, I could hear the slightly deeper tone the Ereth had, yet all I could hear was my uncle.

His somewhat neutral expression hardened. "Hey!" He clapped once to get my attention. 

I flinched. The memories I relived before this person saved me were affecting me.

"Who are you?" I asked, snapping back to the present. "Where am I?"

His expression softened somewhat. "You're deep inside demon territory. This is a safe place though; they won't come here."

His words did little to satisfy my curiosity, and even less to make me feel safe. It was probably obvious from my expression because he chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry about that now. Your body hasn't healed yet – not even close, actually. You need to keep resting." As he spoke, his expression darkened. His gaze focused on my chest.
