I awoke to the scent of sweet smelling flowers. My eyelash fluttered open to golden rays of sunlight which streamed down from the crystal leaf dome towards my face. Golden light skated upon the stone walls with the tenderness of flowing water that caressed my body. I had to blink the sleep away from my eyes so my surroundings could become clearer.
My lungs breathed in a fragrance that combined petals and crushed herbs that precluded a moist scent similar to rainy earth. The mix of scents brought comfort to the bone deep pain that caused weariness I had felt on the journey to mount Callum.
I gently sat up from the stone carved bed with woven cloth and placed with moss padding. The natural texture under me brought a comforting feeling just as the earth had gathered me throughout the entire night. My body may feel weighted at the moment but it had a peaceful quality like that experienced when be held by a caring lover.
