**Sanctuary of Love**

As I slept, Hange's dragon magic continued to work its wonders, repairing the damage to my body and soothing my mind. I was vaguely aware of his presence, his energy a gentle hum in the background of my consciousness. But as the hours passed, I began to stir, my body slowly coming back online. At first, it was just a gentle stretching of my limbs, a testing of my senses. I was aware of Hange's warmth, his comforting presence, and the soft rustle of his clothes as he moved around me. I opened my eyes, blinking slowly, and was met with a blur of colors and shapes. Hange's face came into focus, his eyes shining with concern and love. "Welcome back," he whispered, his voice low and soothing. "How are you feeling?" I tried to respond, but my voice was hoarse and barely audible. Hange quickly handed me a glass of water, which I sipped gratefully. The cool liquid soothed my parched throat, and I felt a surge of energy flow through me. As I sat up, Hange helped me, his arms wrapping around me to support my back. I leaned into him, feeling a sense of comfort and security in his presence. He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and I felt my heart swell with love. "You're feeling better?" he asked, his voice full of hope. I nodded, taking a deep breath. My body still ached, but the pain was manageable, a dull throb that seemed to recede into the background as I looked at Hange. I felt a sense of gratitude towards him, a deep appreciation for his love and care. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Hange's face softened, his eyes filling with emotion. "You're welcome," he said, his voice low and husky. "I'll always take care of you, no matter what." As I looked at him, I felt a sense of wonder, a sense of awe at the depth of his love. I knew that I was lucky to have him, that I was blessed to have found a person who cared for me so deeply. Hange helped me out of the makeshift womb, supporting me as I stood up. I felt a little unsteady, but he held me close, his arms wrapping around me to keep me upright. I leaned into him, feeling his warmth and strength, and knew that I was safe. As we stood there, I looked around us, taking in our surroundings. We were in a large, cavernous space, the walls made of rough-hewn stone. The air was cool and damp, and I could hear the sound of dripping water echoing off the walls. "Where are we?" I asked, my voice a little stronger now. Hange smiled, his eyes twinkling. "We're in a hidden sanctuary," he said. "A place of safety and refuge. You'll be able to heal here, recover from your ordeal." I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I knew that I needed time to heal, to recover from the trauma I had experienced. And with Hange by my side, I felt like I could face anything. As we stood there, I felt a sense of peace settle over me, a sense of calm and tranquility. I knew that I was in good hands, that Hange would take care of me, and that I would emerge from this experience stronger and more resilient than ever before.
