Awakenings
I rememeber nightmares that drove me from the Shrine before dawn.
I had not intended to seek company but the fates saw fit to bring a new arrival to me anyway.
She was a pleasant conversationalist and I would have enjoyed talking to her more but we were interrupted.
The sun was barely up and I was foolish enough to try and assist my double and both of the Sages in this world.
My double's foolish intervention nearly killed me but it appears that Edwyn is still keeping an eye on me and he was kind enough to intervene.
Power everywhere. Shields all but gone.
I hurt.
Sitting up, I can feel the dried blood flaking off my arm and the leather rubbing against the resealed scar.
I can feel fear and anger seething through the atmosphere around me.
I can not...I will not let myself care.
My shielding is appalling - I can barely muster enough control to stop the power spilling over my shields so all I can do is readjust them.
I can see the dark sky through the windows. Nightfall, but of the same day? How long have I been here. A babble of incomphrensible words and I shake my head, the words I meant to speak coming out as pained hiss. I feel like I've inhaled fire vapour and there is a thick tacky ...glop coating my tongue and mouth. I spit it into a handful of bandages.
Blood.
Wonderful...
