#10 of An Unexpected Journey

Hey everyone! Thanks for being patient as usual (life tends to get in the way of my writing) This is the 10th chapter! Only two left for this story arc! Chapter 11 will be out next week. Hope you enjoy! As usual sound off in the comments!


A few moments after Nurse Mayle left, Dr. Juni calmly came back in the room. She was staring down at her clipboard, making notes as she began to speak.

"Alrighty Zanith, I alerted the King about your stable condition, he will be back in a few days, apparently something came up at the castle and was needed there immediately, as for Ranfult, he has been ordered to stay here with you until you are released."

"Sounds great Dr. Juni," I said smiling, "and just when will I be released?"

"Tough to say, as of right now you are on track to be released in a few days, maybe sooner if there aren't any red flags indicated throughout the night," she said looking up from her clipborad, "Do you have any questions or concerns about anything?"

"... Well..." I began.

"Well... what?" Dr. Juni questioned with a slightly concerned voice.

How am I going to play this? I need to ask her right here, right now about helping me get in contact with Kantum, but Ranfult is guarding me... Good thing they're friends or this would be an impossible task. At least King Lenim is away, which makes this a tad easier I suppose.

"Do you mind if I ask you a huge favor?" I said with my best puppy dog eyes.

"What is it?" she said giggling at my facial expression.

"As you probably noticed, Ranfult is pretty strict and won't allow any visitors while the King is away, especially now that I am conscious... I would really enjoy the company of my two friends Kantum and Yasika. They're brother and sister... and actually good friends of Ranfult's."

"Oh yes," interrupted Dr. Juni, "I remember both of them, they visited you while you were in the coma, very nice panthers."

"Yeah," I agreed. glad to see she was the observant lion I thought she was. "Anyway would you mind having someone contact them so they can come visit!"

"I would be delighted, out of all your visitors they seemed the most worried about you. I'm sure they would be rather excited to come visit now that you are conscious."

"Thank you very much Dr. Juni!"

"No problem, Zanith," Dr. Juni responded and turned to make her exit.

"Oh... and Dr. Juni?"

"Yes?" She questioned turning back around.

"Would you mind keeping this between us? Ranfult would say no to visitors so I can have my rest, but I am really feeling up to it. Besides if they just show up wanting to see how I am..."

"He wouldn't know the wiser and you get some visit quality visiting time with the three of them, got it" she winked and turned to exit the room once again.

So far so good... I am so glad Dr. Juni is here, not everyone would be willing to do that for his or her patients. Now I just have to play the waiting game for a bit. I wonder if they will make it by tonight or if they won't even hear the news until tonight. I'm sure they went back to their village by now since it has been a few days. I doubt they will make it tonight... I just have to hope whatever has the King occupied keeps him occupied for the remainder of my stay here.

"Hey Zanith," Ranfult smiled as he walked into my room hold a tray of food, "I brought you some food!"

"Awesome thank you Ranfult, I'm starving!" I said just as my stomach grumbled.

"I can hear that," Ranfult remarked sarcastically.

"Hey! I can't remember the last time I had a decent meal! It's been days!"

"Well you're going to have to wait a bit longer for some good food... sorry bud," he said as he plopped down a tray of fresh fruit and vegetables.

"... Hmm...I guess it's not the worst meal in the world... It's solid... which is a good sign," I joked, trying to hide the fact I was uber pissed.

"The doctors aren't sure what foods might not interact well with your medicine,"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" I interrupted furious, "I thought this clinic was the best!"

"Calm down, it is but you're a human... not too many of those around. They're not sure how the Human body will interact with some of the medicine, nothing bad they just think you may have a severe stomach ache if you eat whatever you want right away,"

"That's a chance I'm willing to take," I said reaching for Ranfults lunch which looked way more appealing then mine.

"Well I'm not," he said pulling his food out of my reach, "if King Lenim finds out you got sick and it was because I let you eat my food, I will never hear the end of it. Do you want that for me?"

"No... Fine. I'll just eat my healthy food..."

"That's a good boy," he said petting my head and placing his food by my bedside.

I just sat there and started picking at my food. Ranfult walked away to pull a chair close to my bedside. But his one mistake was leaving his tray of food within arms reach. I needed something other than fruits and vegetables. I grabbed the first thing I saw which was a small nugget size piece of meat with breading around it. I'm not sure what type of meat it was but it was rather delicious. Ranfult grabbed the chair and turned back in my direction and rather swift at that. Which made me nervous he caught me, so I swallowed the nugget. Fortunately he didn't notice as he just approached me normally, placed the chair by his food and began eating.

"How is your meal?" I asked totally jealous I couldn't finish his.

"I mean, its clinic food so it's not the best, but it's actually not terrible today," he said smiling.

"... So if it's not terrible today that means you've been here before..." I trailed off enticing him to share his past experiences.

"Well there was a period of time that I was in the clinic everyday..." Ranfult said trailing off and taking another bite of his food.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry we can talk about something else," I said starting to feel bad for Ranfult. He wasn't a bad guy; he's just following orders from the King.

"Nah, I have nothing to hide. It's nice to talk about every once in a while," he said while chewing his food. "When I was younger, Kantum, Yasika, and I had another friend named Julasi. She was one of the funniest lions I had ever met. She was beautiful, well mannered, and talented. She was very athletic but also knew her way around several instruments. She wrote her own music and it was usually very poetic. There were a few pieces she wrote that were just awful though." At this point Ranfult stopped and chuckled to himself, "Anyways, right before we turned 17 she got sick, with what? No one was quiet sure. She spent her whole 18th year in the clinic before she died shortly after her 19th birthday. I visited her every day though, which is one of the reasons I got a job in the kingdom as a Royal Guard. I was close enough to visit everyday. If I lived back home I wouldn't have been able to."

"That was very noble of you, Ranfult. I couldn't imagine going through something like that," I said comforting Ranfult.

His eyes became teary eyed, "Yeah... Well... She was my best friend. I couldn't imagine life without her and my parents." I stared at Ranfult unsure of what to say next. I couldn't imagine going through what he went through. A tear went down Ranfult's cheek. I reached over and wiped it away.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that... I couldn't imagine going through what you went through. At least you had time with her. That's better than having never met her."

"I guess..." he trailed off.

"No. It is. You had wonderful times with her from what you told me. She expressed herself with music and sports. Don't tell me her never being around would have made your life any better. There are sad times that everyone endures and it SUCKS, but it's how we cope with those emotions that lead us to our futures. Remember the past, don't dwell in it. All the memories you two shared, with Kantum and Yasika too, are priceless. Do you not see them as often because being with them seems bare without her?"

"..." he couldn't get out what he wanted to say because he was trying to not cry in front of me.

"You don't have to say anything. You can just nod."

He proceeded to nod his head up and down.

"You can't let old emotions keep you from hanging out with the only two people you call family can you?" I questioned, soon realizing I said 'people' I have no idea what to call the animals as a whole.

"N-no. I-I shouldn't," he said wiping his tears away.

"Exactly! They are your family and I'm sure they miss seeing you. I could tell when we first saw them."

"I know... I need to make a better effort to visit them," he sniffled.

"That's all you can do."

"T-Thanks for the advice Zanith. You are truly a wise man."

"Well I wouldn't go that far," I laughed, trying to lighten the room.

Ranfult laughed and embraced me in a long hug. Longer than I thought it would last, but he needed someone right now and I was here. After the hug Ranfult left the room to use the restroom. It was getting late and I was surprisingly tired. Maybe I can get some sleep tonight! A few moments later, Ranfult entered the room and pulled his chair away from my bed and put it back at the table. He approached me one last time before going to bed.

"Thank you for the talk Zanith," he said pushing himself close to me, "sleep well," and with that he pushed his lips up against mine. I was completely thrown off guard. He pulled away with a huge grin on his face and walked back to his chair. And I thought I was going to sleep well tonight. Fantastic.

The morning came particularly fast, probably because I didn't sleep very well, but honestly it was hard for me to sleep in this world at all. I was determined to make this day my last day in this strange world as I do NOT belong here... and Kantum is one of my only hopes. He would believe me.

"Oh you're up," Ranfult said interrupting my thoughts. He had apparently been out of the room because he was walking in with a glass of some sort of juice.

"Yeah, thought it would be nice to start my day by waking up early," I smiled.

"Heh... Good idea, but you do need to gather your strength, so sleep is a good thing Zanith," he said.

"That's very true, but I am feeling better than ever."

"That's great because I'm hoping to get you released today and back to the castle, you and King Lenim obviously have many things to discuss."

"That we do..." I trailed off, moving my head on the pillow to pretend to get some more rest.

"Well I will leave you alone for a bit to rest up. Dr. Juni should be in to monitor how you are doing later this morning."

"Great, thank you Ranfult."

Ranfult then walked away from my bedside and walked over to the table and chair. He slumped down into the chair and began reading a magazine or journal of some kind. He seemed amused, as occasionally he would grunt and snicker. From this point on all I could do was hope Yasika and Kantum were on their way. I need a contingency plan though... What if they don't come? I'm going to have to make a break for it and try my best to get to them. I am very good with directions so I think I would remember how to get to their restaurant. But then again I have no idea where this clinic is located. I'll have to find the castle and use that as a point of reference... which is very dangerous considering King Lenim and his guards are there and even if the guards don't know what I look like they would see a human wondering around... Let's just hope Kantum comes so he can sneak us back to their restaurant.

The time I spent in bed was extremely boring. Back home I love watching TV but they don't have any of that here, even if they did it wouldn't be the same programming that I have come to know and love. What I wouldn't give to watch an episode of "24" or "Grey's Anatomy" right now... But alas it is impossible. You know who loved watching Grey's and 24 with me? Rachel. I miss her so much. The thought of never seeing her again crossed my mind and made me even more determined to get home. She was my best friend. I could go to her about anything and she would always listen. If I was straight we would get married, she had a huge crush on me in high school but I had to turn her down which broke her heart, but once I explained my sexual orientation she let her feelings stay in the past and we grew even closer. The great thing about our relationship was that we have endured everything. I love her and she loves me.

She must be hysterical right now. I've been gone for days, who knows what kind of stories are circulating around the community. Rachel probably thought I left the reunion because I couldn't face my high school friends about my sexuality, but that doesn't explain why I've been gone for days. I'm sure she had to inform my family and friends about my disappearance. At least I hope she broke the news to them and not the police. If the police informed my family about my disappearance they would go crazy and think I was murdered or something. If Rachel told them, they would be more calm and think of my disappearance as a missing person than a homicide... I'm sure she told them... She wouldn't have it any other way.

I was getting so emotional by the thoughts in my head that a tear streamed down my face. I quickly wiped it off hoping Ranfult didn't notice as he would ask me what was wrong and I am in no mood to make up a lie. Luckily he didn't notice and I just went back to resting.

Wait... This could work to my advantage. If I explain my story to Ranfult as well as Kantum, Ranfult may feel bad for me, especially after giving him advice about Julisa. He could help after all! The key word there being could. Using the pity card doesn't always work... but I believe it'll be worth the risk to involve Ranfult in my plan. If he were in on it, it would go off without a hitch. I'll have to ask Kantum about what he thinks first.

Several hours later Dr. Juni knocked on my door.

"Come in," Ranfult said without looking up from his magazine

Some guard he is...

"Good morning Ranfult," Dr. Juni announced as she walked into the room, "and Zanith, how are you feeling today?"

"I'm feeling really good actually," I cheerfully responded.

"That's great!" Dr. Juni said looking up from her clipboard, "I'm just going to have to run a few tests and you may be released today."

"Great! I am starting to get bor-"

"That is..." she said interrupting me, "if all the tests go well."

"Well of course," I said smiling. It was hard to not smile when Dr. Juni was around. She had so much charm and enthusiasm toward her line of work that it was impossible to be in a bad mood.

"I will get started in a little bit, I have to check on some more patients but I will be running tests on you first, pending unforeseen emergencies of course."

"All right, see you when you get back. Take you time!"

Dr. Juni turned around and walked toward the door. Ranfult was still looking down at his magazine when Dr. Juni passed him.

"Oh and Ranfult," Dr. Juni began.

"Hm, yes?" he responded this time looking up from his magazine.

"When I conduct the tests I need you to take a break and go to the cafeteria or something."

"Of course, as you wish Dr. Juni."

"Great, see you both in a while," she concluded as she left the room.

"In my time here, family and friends were allowed to stay when the testing was being conducted. It was a nice support system. I wonder why the clinic changed their policy." Ranfult diverged loudly hoping Dr. Juni would hear his remarks from the hallway.

"I don't mind. In fact I prefer to be alone because all of these tests are so foreign to me"

"Which is exactly why someone should be here with you," Ranfult countered, looking up from his magazine for the second time.

"I feel embarrassed with you all around. Some of these tests are pretty personal," I retorted in a friendly tone.

"As you wish Zanith, it is your decision."

"Well at least I get to have authority over this..." I thought

"Excuse me?" Ranfult questioned, clearly irritated.

Shit. Did I just say that out loud?? I just sat there... unsure of how to approach this conversation.

"Well?" Ranfult demanded, "Care to explain yourself?"

"You know what? I would love to. First off, you know how I feel about this whole situation ever since you KIDNAPPED me, why would I think any differently about this? I haven't had any privacy or authority over any of my actions since I've got here!"

"Are you kidding? You had no authority because you didn't know the truth about where you came from! Als-"

"And how do I know what you and King Lenim tell me is true??" I interrupted, even more furious, "huh? How exactly do you know I am his son?"

"I've followed you since the car accident that killed your parents! You weren't their biological child. They adopted you," Ranfult argued, "You didn't even look like them! How could you possibly think they were your real parents?"

I didn't respond and I looked away. My Parents are NOT dead, but if I tell him what happened the day of the accident he may or may not believe me, which leads to me telling King Lenim my story and he definitely will NOT like what I have to say...

"I'm sorry Zanith," Ranfult began with a caring tone, "but you are King Lenim's son and you are home now. I don't know how else to prove it to you."

"...I guess it's just hard to come to terms with," I lied.

"You'll get there bud," Ranfult said reassuringly, "You're whole life has been a lie. We didn't think you would accept the news instantly." He put his paw on my hand and leaned in close. Oh no... A repeat of last night?

"We'll see..." I trailed off moving my face to the side.

"How can I persuade you that you're meant to be here?" He questioned moving toward the door. "Hmm?" he questioned again locking the door and pulling a curtain around the window.

"W-What are you doing?" I asked kind of nervous about where this was headed.

"Just making the room more private. It's what you want isn't it?"

"Well no one was bothering us," I said confused.

"And no one will be bothering us," he said with a big grin, "look I know what I did last night was unprofessional with you being King Lenim's son in all, but I just couldn't help myself. There's something about you Zanith, your charm and wit. It's irresistible," he said moving closer and closer to my bed, "You haven't moved from that spot in days... why don't we change that. Get a little kinky."

"Excuse me?!" I retorted, but before I could say more Ranfult leaped on top of me.

"I know you've checked me out. What can I say, I'm kind of irresistible myself," he said in a smug voice. And with that, he leaned in toward my face and pressed his lips against mine, but this time he pushed his tongue into my mouth. He was right. I have checked him out, I mean, who wouldn't he was one hot lion. So against my better judgement I returned the kiss. Our tongues danced for several minutes. He finally pulled away, "See? I knew it. So are you a top or a bottom?"

"Uhh..." was all I managed to get out.

"If you're not sure, I'm up for trying bottom. I'm usually a top though. Just to let you know," he winked and started pulling my clinic gown off. He made me sit up for a second as my gown came off, then he pushed me back down and went back to kissing me. His paw was caressing my chest. He pulled away from the kiss for a second to say, "Damn, you have one hot body. But there is one part of you I would like to see that I haven't already..." He went back to kissing me and moved his hand down to my groin. Being fondled there made me let out a small moan.

"You like that?"

"Y-yeah. W-why are you doing this? Dr. Juni is coming back soon,"

He broke away from the kiss, "The door is locked and she'll knock. We'll be finished before she gets back." He started licking my neck in long, seductive licks.

"I missed why you're doing this?"

"Isn't it obvious? I like you, you gave me trouble at first but that was part of the thrill of catching you. My animal insticts I guess," he whispered in my ear then procedure to move down my neck to my chest. He began licking my left nipple while fondling the other. It was simply amazing. I never thought this would happen. I'm not gonna lie, I did think about this, I mean he's amazingly hot and astounding at this but I didn't think he would act on his feelings. Stop thinking and enjoy this... Maybe make a move of my own.

As he was playing with my nipples I made a move for my boxers, the only article of clothing left on my body. I pull them down and my erect cock poked Ranfult.

"Are you done yet?" I said pulling his face back up to mine, "I have something else for you to play with."

"Oh do you now?" He said looking down at my penis, "I see you are enjoying this as much as I am," he said pointing at his loincloth which was still on.

"Well its time we take this pesky thing off," I pulled him in toward me and kissed him while I undid his loincloth.

"Taking control I see," Ranfult laughed as he pulled away from our kiss.

"You talk too much," I retorted and began rubbing his enormous cock. He was dripping with pre-cum. He shuffled his body toward the end of the bed so I had enough room to give him head. I bend over and began sucking his cock. I moved my lips up and down around his massive cock. It had to be around 9 inches long and it had some much girth. God it was amazing. I wasn't a good deep throater but I bet Ranfult was about to make me learn. He grabbed my head and started shoving it in inch by inch. There was no way I would hit all of this in my mouth, no way. I began gagging, so he let me pull out a bit and I did my best from there. After a few minutes of me sucking, and him moaning, he stopped me.

"My turn..." he motioned and pushed me to the front of the bed. He grabbed my cock with his paw and began sucking. He was a great deep throater. He fit my whole cock in his mouth. The best blowjob I have ever had. He wrapped his entire tongue around my cock while moving his mouth up and down. It was unreal. No human could ever give a blowjob like this.

"Damn Ranfult, you're a-amazing," I stuttered.

"Now who's the one talking too much?" he retorted. He reached his paw back up to my chest area and started playing with my nipples again, while sucking my cock. I was in complete bliss. After a few minutes more of that he abruptly stopped and flipped me over, "Mind if I go first?"

"U-uh... is that even gonna fit?" I questioned rather concerned.

"I'll make it fit... don't you worry," he laughed.

"Shit..."

I thought he was just going to go for it, but I should have known better as I started to feel his tongue in my ass. God his tongue is fantastic. He licked from the bottom of my ball sack all the way to the back of my neck where he whispered, "Get ready... I'll be gentle... This time," he licked the side of my face before making his way back to my ass. He grabbed the side of my hips and I felt his cock about to enter. All the slippery pre-cum would act like a nice lubricant. He poked the head in and it started to slide in inch by inch.

"Ahh! God! Ranfult w-wait! I d-don't think i-it'll fit!"

"Relax..." he said stroking my back, "it's about half in."

"ONLY HALF??"

"Almost there just endure it."

"GOD!" This was the most cock I have ever had in me before. I felt like he was about to split me in two. I've never really felt that way before. But I was wildly turned on still. Even though it was super painful I am glad this was happening.

"There... all the way in!" he stated quiet proud of me for enduring the pain. He began thrusting rather gentle like he promised he would. It was still painful obviously but the feeling was rather astonishing. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I could tell he was holding his load in for a while because after a few minutes he screamed, "I'm cumming!"

"So c-cliché Ranfult," was all I got out before he shot his entire load inside of me. I kind of thought he would pull out alittle bit... but nope... all 9 inches inside of me, while he came... It wasn't alittle bit either...

"Don't call me cliché! Let's see what you yell while you're fucking me," he said while he pulled out, dripping with cum, "yeah they're gonna have to change these sheets," he giggled while I got off the bed to make room for him to lay down, but before Ranfult laid down he grabbed my hand and pulled me in for another sloppy, wet kiss. "You know you're a good kisser Zanith?"

"It's what I've been told," I laughed.

"WHAT!? You mean I'm not your first??" he said sternly, but burst into laughter seconds later.

"You're hilarious..." I said un-amused.

"Oh come on! You better be more enthusiastic than that while your fucking me, mister," he growled with a huge grin on his face.

"Don't you worry, I'll do my best!" I smiled as he got on all fours.

"Do your worst!" he enthused.

I grabbed his ass and put my cock up against the crack and was aiming for the hole when he yelled, "WOAH! Wait a minute... You're not going to give me the same respect I gave you?"

"What?" I said confused.

"Well... I gave you a rim job too..."

"Yeah... I don't really... do... that..."

"Aw come on!" he said as he turned around and gave me a sad face.

"... Fine..." I responded, not too excited about giving a rim job.

I got my face close to his ass, "I like it wet," he taunted while waving his ass in my face.

"I thought you were a top?"

"Doesn't mean I don't know what I like when I'm a bottom"

With that I moved my face close to his ass and began licking his hole. He was clean so it wasn't as disgusting as I thought it was going to be. I actually kind of liked it. I let myself drool over his ass, as he liked it 'wet' and moved my tongue around every corner. I decided to pull the same stunt Ranfult did with me and lick from his ball sack to the back of his neck. I coughed a few times, "Yeah doesn't really work on lions," I whispered in his ear.

"What you have a hairball?" He laughed, finding this situation rather hilarious.

"Luckily I don't need my mouth for what's about to happen... and I'm NOT going easy on you."

"Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way."

I pulled back to his ass and grabbed his hips as he did mine and poked the head of my cock in his hole. After the tip was in I started pounding his ass. Thrusting in and out as fast as I could.

"D-dude... You are going s-so fast! C-care to slow down?"

I stopped, thrusted all the way in, "Hmm... nah!" and just like that I was back to thrusting in and out. I was at my peak. I was about to cum, but what would I say? I didn't think before I started. Shit. I don't have anything non-cliché to say! All I managed to get out was, "Get ready!" I gave on last giant thrust inward and came all over his insides just like he did me. Although there was no contest on who had more cum and who was farther inside of whom. Ranfult was the best fucker hands down.

"Not too bad, Zanith, but that cry before you came... extremely weak bud."

"Yeah I couldn't think of anything better," I smiled while pulling out. I got off the bed to get some clothes on when Ranfult called over to me.

"Can't we just lay here for a while together?"

"Dr. Juni will be here any minute I'm sure," I reasoned and went straight to the bathroom to clean off. He knew I was right but he was still really sad.

"I know..." he trailed off. He got up and went to go clean off in the bathroom with me. "Can I get some of that for you?" He asked, looking at my chest from the mirror, which had a little bit of cum on it.

"Sure..." I didn't know Ranfult was so kinky. As he licked my chest clean, his paw wondered down to my ass, which was obviously soaked with cum. He fondled my ass for a second and brought his paw up to his face right infront of me and said, "You missed a spot," licking his paw clean.

"I know I'm getting to it in a second, we haven't even been in here for over a minute."

"Or..." he trailed off, licking my chest again while staring at my face.

"Knock yourself out," I concluded, "Clean my whole body if you wish." I was half kidding about the whole body thing, but I knew Ranfult would definitely lick me all over if I gave him permission to. He grinned and turned me around. He kneeled down on two knees and started cleaning my ass of his cum. It was kind of disgusting but kind of really hot. After he thought that was sufficient he cleaned it he moved to my inner thighs, which made me laugh because I was pretty ticklish there.

"I see I've hit a sensitive spot."

"That you have, I have no idea why I'm so ticklish there." He continued up my thighs to my ball sack and cock, which he then licked dry. He began licking my abs and didn't stop moving his way up, even though there was no more cum on me. He licked both of my nipples and played with my chest some more. Then he made his way up to my face where again he gave me a big, wet kiss. I couldn't resist him. He was so godly. Our tongues danced around for a minute before I pulled away. "Mind if I clean you a bit?" I asked, quiet shyly for someone who was basically just licked from head to toe.

"I would love it!" he said kissing me again, "but I thought you didn't like doing stuff like that."

"I think I'll make an exception for you..." I trailed off, "I'll just get started." I turned Ranfult around and kneeled down. I started with his inner thighs and started my way up. I licked his ball sack from behind which I guess he wasn't expecting as he shuddered when I did so.

"You are better at this than you led on," he smiled. I continued my way up his body to his ass, which was messy... but not as messy as mine... so I couldn't really complain. I licked every inch of his ass cleaning up all the cum. I walked around to Ranfult's front side and began playing with his chest. Something I completely forgot to do earlier. I gnawed on his nipples and fondled his chest. He let out a slight moan. After a moment of nipple play I stood up and looked into Ranfult's eyes. They were gorgeous: the perfect shade of green.

"Your eyes... are beautiful..." I stared in amazement.

"You have beautiful eyes yourself," he said leaning in for another kiss.

"Lets go get some clothes on," I suggested, "Dr. Juni will be here soon,"

As we left the bathroom a knock came at the door, "Just a second," I shouted. Ranfult and I both put our clothes on as fast as we could. I got back in bed and Ranfult went over to answer the door. "Wait Ranfult..." I started, "if I don't get released tonight... I would feel safer if you slept with me in my bed."

He looked over at me and smiled, "I would love that, but I'm sure Dr. Juni here has nothing but good news." He opened the door to greet Dr. Juni, but instead saw two familiar faces. "Kantum! Yasika!" Ranfult smiled as he greeted his two friends.

Shit... Well... at least they're finally here.

"What brings you here?" he asked.

"Oh we go-" Yasika began but was interrupted by Kantum.

"We just wanted to visit Zanith again," Kantum said, "to make sure he is feeling ok."

"Oh well he is actually awake and conscious, but King Lenim made it clear there was to be no visitors now that he is awake," Ranfult said his smile now fading to a frown.
