A sweet lavender scent drifted through the air—warm, sweet, and enticing—making the entire environment feel wonderful.
Its fragrance reached deep into Kayden's nostrils, and instantly his eyes snapped open. He looked around in alarm, gasping.
Where was he?
Before he could process anything, the scenery shifted into what seemed to be an enormous garden, overflowing with plants and fruits of every kind. It looked like paradise itself.
Butterflies fluttered around lazily, and birds hopped from tree to tree, filling the air with enchanting melodies. The whole place felt unreal, something far too peaceful for Kayden's world.
Why does it feel like I'm forgetting something?
He wondered, but his feet began to move on their own—slow, steady steps forward. Minutes passed, yet it felt like he wasn't making any progress. The path stretched endlessly, as if he had been walking for miles but reaching nowhere.
What is wrong… and why can't I remember?
