The thick fog swirling around Aurons mind slowly cleared and he started to return to reality. The first thing he realized was his side burned like fire. He cracked his eyes open the world blurred by the lack of use and saw he was in a room. It took a moment for him to realize he was back in the Inn and there were used medical supplies by his bed. He shifted slighty and his side lit up with pain when he ran his hand across the pained area he could feel bandages wet to the touch. The most he could do was just lie there for a few moments until his strength returned and attempted to get out of bed. The floorboards and his injuries screamed with protest at the added weight and he fell to one knee grimacing through the pain. "What could make me feel so much pain and feel so helpless? What sorcery have you wrought on me Ulrick?" Suddenly the door shot open and a large black mass fell on him and lifted him like he was weightless and slammed him back on to the bed while a gruff voice spoke up "You might be wanting to stay there my friend. Less yonder golden haired beauty decides to turn her anger on hurting instead of healing you." Auron looked at the shadow but could not see anything but a ripple in the air "I must be going crazy I'm starting to hear things." The voice sounded again right next to his ear "Nope your as sane as you were before you just can't see through my Cloak of Twilight is all." The ripple dissapeared and in its place stood the man named Jordan folding a long black cloak. He smiled then laughed heavily "I can see by the look on your face your pretty confused as to why I'm standing before you am I right?" Auron nodded "That and how you came across such a powerful magic artifact?" Jordan just stretched and winked mysteriously
"Lets just say I lighten peoples loads for a living." Auron paused for a moment then came to the conclusion " Your a thief!" Jordan winced at the term "I prefer Rogue or Man of Fortune but you are pretty much right." When Jordan had finished speaking the floor echoed with heavy footsteps aproaching the room. Jordan quickly donned his cloak and dissapeared leaving Auron sitting before a very angry, very scary, young lady. Sarah's foot tapped impatiently as she scanned the room until finally stomping her foot on the floor and yelling "Jordan you have three seconds too show yourself or else..One.....Two.....Thr-" Jordan revealed himself in the corner of the room "Okay Okay I'm right here just calm down little girl." Sarah stomped over and looked him straight in the eye even though she was a foot shorter than him "What did you call me?" Jordan was about to say something when a loud smack echoed across the room and Jordan was on the ground holding the side of his face while Sarah stood above him her hand cocked to deliver another slap if need be. "You never call me that again!" Then she whirled on Auron and he flinched involuntary but her appearance immediatly softened and her eyes shined with poorly concealed tears. She ran over to the bed and wrapped her arms tightly around Auron's neck sobbing loudly into his chest. A few minutes later her sobs had subsided enough for her to speak. "I'm so glad your ok I was worried that you would never wake up..." Sarah trailed off then her sobs came back redoubled in strength leaving Auron propped up on his bed injuries and all trying to console this girl that had taken such an attraction to him. A few days had passed Auron was fully recovered and had begun wandering around to try and figure out what had happened to him. He learned that he had been asleep for five straight days but what bothered him is what Sarah told him about Ulrick. She told him that Ulrick struck only one blow the one that left Auron incapacitated. Then he simply walked over and muttered some prayer and some how removed a silver pendant with a glowing blue stone out of Auron's body and walked away. Before he left though he said "We will meet again Brother prepare yourself for next time I wont hold back.....you are to weak to even deserve this only gift from our mysterious father. Cling to life to survive and become stronger and maybe you will recover this pendant from me." As Sarah finished she lookedc at Auron and started away when she saw the pure anger and hatred etched into every inch of his body. "I must go and seek out a way of becoming stronger this power I have great as it is is nothing compared to his" He turned to Sarah and Jordan "We are going to the south....We are going to my ancestors homeland."
