PART 4 (Final Part of this series)

He opened his eyes reluctantly to the bright rays of the morning sun. The warmth of light on his face clashed with the cold, hard ground beneath him.

He frowned. This isn’t my chamber.

His confusion deepened as he rattled the handle, realizing the door was locked.
