Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bradwen manages to scrounge up enough consciousness to lift his head up from the ground again. He looked around. No one seemed to be outside right now.

"Well of course why would they? we hardly ever go outside normally anyways. I know everytime I do I end up getting lost." Bradwen mutters, chuckling to himself.

He pulled himslef up to a sitting position and noticed that it was unusually difficult to do so, even for being beaten and thrashed about like he was. He looked down at himself and noticed his left arm hadn't moved. He tried to move it. Again. Again. All he managed to do was barely move a couple fingers.

"Well that's damned inconvenient" he said. Sitting back against the cold, iron bars of the fence and poking his left arm, wondering how long it would take to heal.

((Oh right...server maintenence. I came back at such a lovely point, didn't I? XD))

((Haha, I fixed it for em, long live my main Internet connection!))

Aura flipped open the book once more, and pulled a piece of paper and pen out of the desk. She started jotting down the incantation in the book, scribbling so fast she only hoped that she would be able to read it later.

Bradwen looked around again, still unconciously poking his left arm. The manor seemed the same, as well as he could remember it. Of course his memory was all sorts of fuzzy, so he wouldn't remember if something had changed anyway. He looked straight ahead, and he could see the front door in the distance, with a figure on the porch.

"So I'm on the side of the mansion I guess...Hey! This was the same part of the gate I crashed into when I first came here!" he said to himself, grinning ear to ear as if what he just said should be taken as an accomplishment.

"Hmm?" Saradin's eyes fell from the sky to the child in front of him, but with a look as if they couldn't see. "Yes... I'm Saradin..." He paused for breath between every word. "And you would be Khenu, correct?" Despite his weary appearance, Saradin still held the same steady tone as always. Sidestepping the boy before recieving a response, Saradin trudged into the yard, again watching the sky as droplets broke against his face.

"I've never felt better in all of my life..." Obviously sincere words, but so were what followed. "...but never worse in all of my days." Taking a moment to consider his listener, he cleared his head of the unusual crytipcs. "I guess... I'm just feeling weak, but this is the first time I've felt this way. It's new... and I like it."

"Okay so you've never felt weak before and now you are and you like feeling that way, I got ya." He drew in a breath then let it out quickly. "You can like it but you shouldn't let yourself stay like that too long, you'll make yourself sick, and I don't think that Aura would like that, she seems to get really upset if something is wrong with one of us. Like when she looks at me she doesn't show she's wondering about me, but I can feel it."

"Maybe... but I think I already am." He sat on the muddy ground, still staring up at the sky. "This body feels like its dieing... and the only thing that will help it will take away my peace..." Leaning farther and farther back, Saradin eventually dropped onto the ground, sprawled out, still watching the sky as his eyes slowly closed. "Do I want to get better?"

Eclipse looked at Khenu for a moment. He treated him as if he was an animal, then again he was to Khenu. He trotted out into the rain and came to a stop in between the two. He pawed at Saradin's shoulder once then laid down between them, watching them both.
