...
When Aether awakened, he found himself in a small bed, not really of the best quality, but it was better than their sleeping bags. Looking around, the walls seemed to be made out of bone, which meant...
"I'm in the city of bones?"
He rested his forehead in his palm, but quickly took it away as a stinging pain came over him.
Taking a look at his hand, it looked to have gotten skin. In many places, you could see the muscles inside his hand; most have healed, but of course, it would hurt like hell if he put something hard on it.
A headache came as he slowly started to remember.
They had gone into that... tower, wanting to explore it, and they found that strange book, that revealed a tunnel that wasn't there before... one that led them to that... beast.
'Damn...' He felt his hair rise when he thought about it.
Just what kind of monster had he killed...
It was a reality check, one he probably needed.
