Councilman Joshua opened his eyes, feeling his head heavy and pain at the side of his head. He looked up at the ceiling of the bed, nice looking wood and the drapes of curtain that looked as if he were in heaven because this was not his room. Was he perhaps dreaming? But why was his head hurting? He raised his hand towards his head, rubbing his temples, life in dreams felt so peaceful, thought the man to himself.

"Relax, Joshua. We are not going to hurt you," informed the butler.
