Chapter 71: Match 71

Alex opened his eyes freezing. He looked around him confused to find himself in a literally frozen room. The huge bed he was lying was made of ice and he had been wrapped in fuzzy white blankets, while his pillow was from the softest silk. There was a fireplace, looking like it had been forged from a crystal where a strong fire was burning. He frowned at the side and unconsciously tried to bring his legs closer to his chest only to remember that he was injured, badly. His bandages had been changed, this time they were neater and a very pretty smell was emitting from them, like they had been dipped into some kind of medicine. It didn't hurt as much now even though the pain was still very obvious and he guessed that some kind of ointment was numbing his pain.
