Welcome to Gaia! ::

I look at it. Here goes nothing. I grab it and then down it in a gulp. I fall to the ground in a frenzy of spasms, I black out, buit still feel pain. I shake,m the inside of my mind shakes, the inside of the inside of my mind shakes with pain. I call out trying to say something, but nothing. I burn, I feel pain, I die all in one thing. "OW!" I manage to get out, but then scream as I regain consciousness. I was still in pain too!

I writhe in pain. I felt like my bones were coming out of my body! "GOD!" I try to stand up, but I fall back to the ground for some more writhing. "Can't you give me something for the paiiiooiiin? I meooon reiiiily?" I couldn't talk straight it hurt so bad, and I could take some pain! I writhe some more, my back arching in angles that would break it under normal situations. I roll over trying to put out the fire that was my skin. I felt like I was going to die! Like my skin was crawling off of the tissue it was meant to protect. I writhe more and more. "Damn, someone knock me out or something! I will die!" I start digging at my flesh to try to make it stop. Then I try to jump up and throw myself into a tree, which resulted in me jumping around laying down. My torso bending and twisting like someone was throwing me into a twisty thing for mops, or that my body was a mop! I thrash about on the ground, waiting for my relief, or death, whichever blessing came first. "Kill me now!" I grab my head and pound it into the ground, trying to make my headache stop, it was a super duper migraine of intense godly power! I can't stand it!

I writhe in pain, but it starts to subside. I stand on my arms and my knees. "You a*****e dragon, YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME PAINKILLERS!" I get up, and jump to it. Whoa I can jump far! I look at it. "You could have given me painkillers!" I breath heavily. "Damn you! I should make you suffer!" I was still in immense pain, but the anger at the dragon was enough to subside the most of it...

It puts a claw up to my forehead, and says "Boom" and I feel like an explosion had just happened two inches away from my skull. Wait, it did! I am blown back, and then fall flat on my back. "The headache!" I jump up and jump to the dragon agin. I punch at her, faster than ever, and find my target, well, some of it. She shrieks in pain, and I have another explosion near my head. "Owy owy owy owy owy owy OWY!"

I look at him. "You didn't have to KILL it!" My mouth gapes. "I just wanted to show it how much pain I am in..." And with the anger replaced with remorse, I cripple back to the floor. It hurt, and now, I knew I wasn't getting painkillers.... But then it is gone. The pain completely subsides. I get up, Dusting myself off I look around. I jump, higher, not much, but higher. I swing, faster, again, not too much but enough to gain an obvious advantage. I try a kick, and again, faster, but still not by much. She was right, not much, but enough. Maybe some training to hone the skills would be just enough to get me to be able to defeat Vincent. I would need luck, skills, and these people to defeat him. I sit down. Then think. "Hmmm, this dragon needs a proper burial... Even if it made a couple people mad." I could feel my newfound strength. "Dragon Slayer, get over here and start digging." I smile at him. "Even if she didn't give me morphine..."

I look at him. "Dang." I look up to where he had impacted with the wall. "Sheesh!" It was somewhat dented. I turn around, scanning for her. "Great..." I turn to Jairn. I pull the med pack and trot over to him. I take a look at his head, and pull off his hat, I wrap it in bandages with a little ointment to help the pain and sanitize the area. I look at the drow, then go out search for a place to lay low from Kahlan, should she be mad at me as well. But in the end, I start digging with my hands. "Wish I had a shovel, that would help me dig this hole." I find a stick, and with the hole dug, I lift the dragon, heavy these things were, and spill it in. Didn't fit, but I could do a mound burial... I build the mound out of sticks and dirt. There! "That should do for a burial."

I look after her. I knew what she was feeling. Not long ago I was outcasted because of someone else. If she lived here once before, she would now ne outcasted because she brought humans who killed one of the healers. Like back in Dresden, when I was sitting the the doctors office, and Vincent killed a doctor. I have lived on the run since then, that was the first true time I had to run for my life. I had never been able to rest soundly since then, never. If she stayed here, it would most likely be the same. "Life can be a precious thing, can't it?" I sit down. "One thing can lead to another, and you are left with nothing but yourself to care for. There was this saying, I can't remember it now, but my parents used to say it, it meant 'To live alone is death, to live in bad company is reject, but to live in a place your unwanted, that is a sin.'" I say to no one, nothing. The empty air.

Half a day later I woke up....I slowly opened my eyes, I was immdeiatly met with a flash of bright stars, I could really use a healer right know, too bad I killed it...Well...not really. It could have learned some manners, then again I killed it so i don't really have manners either. I wodner if Kahlan is going to finish the job and kill me? I lift my head up and look around, then I feel my head and find bandages, wow....who was left to be nice to me here? oh yeah, Jacques was fighting the dragon too....Where was everyone? Suddenly I wondered if I really cared.
