Chapter Two
The Sun burned through the open windows of the large extravagantly decorated bedroom, the bed was illuminated completely there was no canopy or bed curtains to shade it. The body in the bed turned and fidgeted slightly it was too hot.
Sun Quan's eyes opened slowly and lethargically, he was so drowsy and he wasn't completely aware of where he was or what had happened. He sat up slowly leaving the thin silk sheet to fall as it wanted, he looked around, he was in his room? He thought to himself, his thoughts started coming back to him, he had been in battle and was wounded. He looked down his body and saw the bandaged wound, it was throbbing. He folded one of his legs toward his body and lifted the knee on the other, resting his elbow on it, he supported his groggy head with his hand.
He smiled slightly to himself, he had been yet again saved by one of his generals Gan Ning. That man was always coming to his aid even though he treated him badly, nothing seemed to faze that man.
Gan Ning had joined Wu long ago Sun Quan didn't quite remember the reasons why or exactly when he joined, he had no interest in the formalities of things like that but he did remember clearly the first time he saw Gan Ning.
He smiled slightly to himself running his hand through the hair on the side of this head, he had been quite a shock, he was so rough and ready and so unlike anyone Sun Quan had met before. Even Zhou Tai also a former pirate was nothing like and incomparable to Gah Ning.
