The Life of David Leroy

[David.Leroy]

October 29, 829 A.S.

[09:04 SMT] - Barrier Gate Station A, Coronado System

Eight years later. A strange sound causes David to open his eyes slowly. He was lying on a bed, in a spacious room but still couldn't tell where he was. He could assume that it is a hospital, although the furniture around him did not fit such an environment. A strong light prevented him from clearly distinguishing the face of the person who was bent over his bed, but its figure made him believe that it was a woman. He did not feel able to ask anything. He simply felt as if he did not have enough strength to open his mouth and say something. Suddenly, the person in front of him broke the silence, confirming his suspicion that it was indeed a woman's voice:

- Good morning, Mr. David!

The timbre of the woman's voice in front of him betrayed the fact that she was young. Although he could not distinguish her face very clearly, he realized that she had a long hair. David tried to remember who is she, but his memory plays tricks on him. The woman continued, as if reading his thoughts:

- You are probably wondering who I am and where you are. Well... I don't think that is the right time to tell you this. For now, I think it's better to rest. All you need to know is that... you are safe. So, don't worry! We will have enough time to tell each other stories, now that you have finally recovered! I will come back later. Until then, try to sleep.

The gentleness in the woman's voice made David calm down. Still, he wanted to understand what was happening to him. He still couldn't see very clearly, and his body felt extremely weak. A few seconds later, he realized that the woman was just giving him an injection in his right arm. Overcome by a strange tiredness, he closed his eyes and suddenly fell asleep.
