A Universe of Wonders

"W-where-?" Axel gasped, his body weak, and his mouth dry.

"You are safe here, lie still, you will damage your body" a pleasant, yet strange female voice echoed through his ears, "You're eyesight will be rather poor for a day or two, and your hearing could do with some recovery, we took the liberty of obtaining a collection of classical songs, to help your mind recover smoothly"

"I-I-" he gasped again,

"Right, a drink, of course" the voice was close this time, a blurry shape reaching out to present a smaller shape to Axel.

He felt a small straw touch his lips, which he gladly grasped, drawing cool water from it's source, probably a glass or a bottle.

"Y-yes... thank you..." Axel whispered, ready to ask the questions on his mind.

"You are on a ship, safely away from most of civilisation, we will introduce ourselves at a later date, for now, you must rest and recover" she brushed his shoulder gently, squeezing his arm and smiling again. "If you require anything, we will return"
