- xxxxxxxThe first time she woke it was because of the pain. The first thing she was conscious of aside from the pain was a scream. A burning in her throat told her it had been her own. Her eyes had flew open to find out where she was... only to realize she couldn't properly see anything. Moments later there was a sort of... shadowy thing that moved across her nearly useless vision, and she felt hands gently clasping down on her arms and legs. Presumably to keep her in place. She tried to shake them free... though she found her lower body just didn't respond. Her arms pushed at restraints, while her legs just stayed completely still. Her toes didn't even twitch or something. Her arms stilled, as she tried to concentrate on making her legs move. Which just caused more pain. She was screaming again, and she knew words were forming in her screams, but she wouldn't be able to recall what was said later. There was something held to her lips, and she was forced to drink a cold liquid. The pain was numbed, and slowly her world went dark again.
xxxxxxxWhen she came to again, there was very little pain. It was still there though. A light throbbing in her lower back and behind her eyes. Even so, she decided to open her eyes, looking about very carefully. She couldn't see properly still, but things were a bit more clear. it was like.... how she normally saw things out of her left eye. It was enough to slowly pick out shapes. She didn't really know where she was, but eventually she was able to discern there was someone sitting beside her bed. Mostly because she heard them breath, and she could sort of see a blotch of color. The princess closed her eyes again, finding the pain had grown slightly. She kept her breathing steady, and concentrated on feeling out the world around her. Of course, there wasn't a whole lot she could feel. Which really wasn't much. But there was a familiarity near her that really could only belong to one person. "You're back..." the words came out weakly.
xxxxxxxShe turned her head slightly towards him, and opened her eyes again briefly. There were many questions she wanted to ask him, but she really didn't have the strength. That, and she was a bit more concerned with her growing hunger. How long hat id been since she had something to eat? Seeing as she didn't know what time it was, she really had no way to say. All she knew was it was a good four hours before they had been attacked. "Cryus..... I'm hungry." again her voice was weak... and she really didn't want to speak more than she had to... but there was probably more talking she'd have to do. There was a pain in her back, and she figured that whatever was causing it was also the reason why her lower body wouldn't respond to her commands. And it didn't feel quite...normal. It wasn't quite a physical pain. And she wasn't really hit by that many physical attacks. Minor scrapes and bruises. So it was probably magic related. Perhaps she could figure out what it was if she tried and moved a little more.
xxxxxxIt seemed like it was worth a shot to her. So she slowly tried to coax her body into motion. Libyanna wasn't sure how long it took until she started to make headway in the task. Her toes wiggled. That was good. She kept trying, and managed to shift her ankle slightly. She kept working at, and finally managed to turn her body a little. It was.... a curious feeling. And painful. Like there was something embedded in her back. Something spherical. but she knew that wasn't true. She tried to shift more... only to cry out in pain. Okay. So moving was a bad idea... but at least she was certain that it was magic. So how? Maybe... some of the magic that she'd tried to stop with those last few shields?
