Chapter 122: Cold

Nitis' dark sky appeared brighter than usual when Khan opened his eyes, but that feature didn't come from the nearing of the sunlight. The cold air felt sweeter when it entered his nostrils, and the small chunks of snow that had fallen on him during the night almost spread warmth through his body.

Those symptoms would usually grant anyone a visit to a doctor or a shrink, but Khan knew that he wasn't ill. His strange situation was the exact opposite of a disease. Those sensations came from what had happened during the night.

Khan found himself lying on the ground with a white blanket covering his naked body. A cold sensation spread from his left side, but he felt only happy to recognize it. Liiza had fallen asleep after snuggling onto his shoulder and laying her head on his chest.

'I've become a man!' Khan childishly shouted in his mind before ugly thoughts attempted to taint his happiness.
