The Dragon Reborn
Rhys
Rhys could feel the immense power of the portal the second he was in the air. His skin was still tender from the attack he had endured, and his bones felt like shattered glass. In his weakened state he knew he would have to take his time as he made his way back to the capital. He didn't get as much info as he liked, but he hoped that what he had would be enough for the mages to make something of it.
After an hour of flying, Rhys had to stop. Breathing heavy, he glided to the ground and flopped onto his side to rest. The pain from his encounter still had not gotten any better. In fact, he felt worse than he had after he had woken up. His bones pulsed in waves of pain, his flesh still burning. He looked at his arm and saw that lines of purple had appeared where his veins lie close to the surface.
Is this poison, or what?
He reached into a pouch he kept at his side and pulled out a vial filled with bright red liquid.
I was hoping to save this for a rainy day, but I need to hurry up and find out what is wrong with me.
He brough the container to his lips drinking the liquid in a single gulp. Immediately the effects took hold. His strength reterned, though the pain was still as intense as ever.
No time to sit here. he thought taking off into the sky. Now that he was more focused, he surveyed the area. What he saw he didn't like. In the distance there was a small walled city. There was a purple glow, from what he could tell from the distance, in the town square.
Guess I'll have to take the scenic route. he thought as he turned toward the town.
