Uuuuugh
My brain.
It feels like it’s melting…
What?
Where am i?
Am I...
Floating?
Is this heaven?
No, wait, this can't be heaven
I’m in too much pain. No this
This is hell.
NOOOOOOOO
I can't even seeeee
Nor can I move
Such deja vu
It’s just like when I was kidnapped by miss rat lady.
...
Wait.
“He-“
Coughing immediately as I tried to speak, finding my mouth to dry to even articulate
I’m thirsty.
My throat hurts
Everything hurts
Aow, stop moving so much
Wait, is this the fauns doing?
Have they kidnapped me?
Why?
I mean, I shot them.
Then why not kill me?
And... I should be in so much more pain.
I should be dead, my ribs were broken, and my lung pierced
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Nothing about this situation should be possible.
What is happening
“Hello?“
Whispering out
“Human, stay silent. You must conserve your strength.”
I must what?
Wait, huh,
Why does he sound so nice, his voice is so pleasent.
Did I not attack them?
Trying to move again, I realised that I wasn’t bound, but unable to move.
Am I weak?
“Help“
I whispered out
Hearing talking, muffled but sounding agitated
Then I felt liquid enter my mouth, which I greedily drank.
Leading to the pain dulling and mind wandering
Oh, this is nice.
Mmhmm
It’s like a field of clouds
No. Of feathered beds
This is amazing.
Haaaa.
Hahaha
Coughing lightly, I felt how weak I was, but it did not matter anymore.
There is no pain.
No worries
Life is great.
Wow, this is awesome.
Everyone should feel this
Then visions came, giving me sight where I should have none
Where dark should be, I saw light
Where nothing existed, I saw
Dragons
And time passed
Going both fast and slow
At a snail's pace and at light speed
The Dragons spoke to each other.
Talking about me
Looking at me
Playing their games with me
And in the middle
Stood the Red Dragon
But something was wrong.
Where others saw, he could not
Where others spoke, he could not hear
He was
Alone
Empty in a lake
In a mausoleum
In a mountain
And time passed
The other Dragons flying away
Sayin their goodbyes
Then I felt something
Something warm
Moving its way through my body
And then pain came back
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”
The itching was far worse than anything I’ve ever felt
Ribs popping back into place
Creating new where some had to be discarded
Blood vessels bursting, only to then be reformed
Nerves severed, stitched together
Eyes mending, light blinding
All painful
All was felt
Hours could have passed
Days
Maybe weeks
But through it all
There was pain
And an itch that could not be sated
Mind not existing
Thoughts not coming
Only
Pain.
But through it all
One thought persisted
Making the pain seem
Less.
In comparison
“I’M SORRY!”
The scream echoed throughout the city.
Making all shy away in fear and terror
None could escape it
All would hear it.
The one doing the screaming, the human
She could not stop, even if she knew how terrifying it was
For she was not of sound mind
She was in great pain.
She was getting healed
By us Fauns
Who felt great grief
Our nature is of peace
Yet, we had brought pain on this human
And received our own.
One of ours had almost died
The greatest of warriors
Horn stronger than those of legends
He had been exposed to a great explosion
Stronger than anything we have ever seen
Nothing of the sort has ever been seen before.
But we knew that she was no danger.
She had acted.
Not out of a will to kill
But a will to live.
She was not the cause of the great blue fire.
No
She was merely a victim of it.
Like we all are
And in our great haste, we mistook her for something far worse
And to redeem our mistake
We have taken it upon ourself to heal her
To mend what should be long gone
But to do this
Requires pain
Immeasurable pain that few could survive
I am so sorry my child
We have made a grave mistake
We hope you live through these trying times
No
We beg you
