Neros woke later in the infirmary with Lucifer hanging over him like a fangirl. Staring, just staring at him. He then waved down at him.
"Finally awake I see. Yup you sure took a beating. You were barly conscious when they got you here. Took me a while to transplant the heart I made you from the Fatalis' heart. That should give you new arms and wings in no time."
"What'd ya do with the rest of it?"
"Got rid of it. Stuck it in that little black sphere. Strangly enough I feel stronger than did when we first took that power... And I feel a tad strange. Neh, it's probably nothing. But still. Anyway, now that you're up... I better send a messenger to Akina."
"How long was I out?"
"I'd say, about a week. I had to do sergury on you as soon as you got back aswell so that added a few days too."
Lucifer left the infirmary room. Neros began to feel tingling in the nubs he had for arms. It then turned to sheer pain. He grimaced as bone began to slowly form where it had been destroyed. In the healing areas skin had begun to show discoloration and had become harder than hardest material in the cosmos. He had pain in the tips of what little wings he had left. The same was happening there too. The flesh was turning to scale and a finger like thing had grown down the height of his wings from the joints. He too felt strange, as though he was steadliy changing from what he was.

Akina quicked her steps down the hallway towards the infirmary, having just received word of Neros' return to consciousness. It would have been a lie to say she hadn't been worried. Her slumber had already been uneasy the past couple weeks; the past couple days she had hardly slept at all. She managed to appear normal, though beneath that, her peace of mind was rather agitated, not that anyone would have cared. Her father was too busy, and her other acquaintances were oblivious to the stirring in her eyes and thoughts. She sometimes snuck back to the cave to study it, feel the aura and try to work it out, however that yielded little.
She stood in the doorway to Neros' room, brilliant blue eyes staring into the room. A single white flower was gently clutched in her right hand, ready to join the already large bunch that stood in the vase beside the bed. She said nothing, simply stood and watched with those eyes of hers. It was clear he was in pain, a thought which jolted her back. She stepped into the room and took the chair that lay next to where he lay. A soft hand touched his as her eyes closed, and a comforting aura surrounded his. She didn't interfere with the healing, she merely took away as much of the pain as she could, placing it on her own shoulders to bear instead of his. It was all she could do for him, and she would do so for the one closest to her. Not a sign of the pain could be seen upon her countenence, excluding her eyes, the windows to her soul.

"Hey sis... Dont ever let this happen to you."
He raised his right nub, and acted like he was pointing at her and wagging his finger. His nubs were now growing and were covered in black scales, just like the Fatalis'. The scales had spread upto his neck via his shoulders. The scales were just as hard.
"It hurts alot. Not like training for four days straight without stretching hurt. This is the alot of pain, kinda hurt. Makes me kinda just wanna hurl."
He gave her a weak smile. His kanine teeth had began to grow into fangs aswell.
"Anyway, at the rate I'm going I should be out in a few days if not, by this afternoon."
He looked outside. It was beginning to get dark.
"Well ok maybe tomorrow after noon."
He smiled again and his eyes widened in a sudden sharp pain in his wings. He grimaced again but didnt cry out, or even grunt for that matter. Another finger like apendage had sprouted from the joints. A black webbing was beginning to fill in the gaps between the old wings and the new ones.

Akina managed a smile upon hearing Neros, glad he was all right.
"Don't worry, I'm not as crazy as you are...usually..."
She fell forwards a bit, her head resting in the crook of her left arm upon the bed on which Neros lay. Her right hand still held its gentle hold on his, determined to try to keep the magic in effect for as long as possible. Her eyes were half open as their gaze rested on his face, tired but wanting to stay here.

"I forgot how reserved you are when it comes to combat."
He said sarcasticly.
"Oh well. Lets go for a walk. I need to stretch."
He sat up and patted her on the head with his left nub, which was now almost done fully healing. Half of his left forearm was now back. His right was still lacking though, it was only about elbow lenght, and it hurt alot as the elbow began to slowly form.

Akina simply grinned in response to his first statement and got up, ready to assist him should he need it to walk.
"The nurse will probably freak if she sees you out of bed..." ^^
She got a bit more of her cheerful self back as she stood by the bed, looking about for his boots before recovering them from beneath the bed and slipping it onto his feet and standing once more to see how he'd fare with walking.

Neros stood up and stood still for a minute.
"Ahg. Light headed. I'm ok now, lets go."
Neros began to walk out and started to lean a little to the right.
"This feels weird. I'm not used to not having full wings or arms for that matter."
He noticed Lucifer walking toward him.
"I'm going for a walk, I need to stretch my legs."
"Ok. Just dont get hurt... again."
"Psh. Me get hurt? Impossible! Ha!"
The nurse, who didnt know he was there, looked at him like he was crazy and then ran over and held onto his healing arms and looked up at his face.
"NO! You need to rest! You still dont look well!"
"Of course I dont look well! I got torched by a big nasty ugly foul flying lizard! You wouldn't look good either."
He pushed passed and Lucifer followed.
"Where'd my humble friend go? You almost sounded like an arrogant fiend back there."
"I dunno, she just... really made me mad. Like my last memory of fighting the Fatalis."
"I just hope she doesnt report you for being arrogant and losing your temper like that. You could lose your rank."
"I really dont care. I have a right to be mad. They sent me and my squad on a suicide mission. I got off light. I'm just glad everyone else is okay."
Wow. You really arent ok. Maybe that opened your eyes a little bit more.
"As soon as these arms and wings are back they'll just ship me off again. Hoping for me to die. I'm as much of a fiend as anything we've been killing so far. Just look at me. My whats left of my arms and shoulders are like black bars of steel. I have a bump right above my butt that hurts like crazy. I have half of my wings. The rest are like that damned dragon. My eyes feel wierd and I'm seeing strange things that I couldnt before and I have two pounding spots on my forehead that hurt more than getting my arms burned off. And to top it off the hair that took so long to grow out, is gone. I mean look at me! I look like a fiend!"
"Calm down. Its not as bad as it seems. At least you didnt die. You know how much that would have hurt Akina?"
"What of it? Like what we're doing is any better than dying?"
"You're probably right. But still just act like you used to and nobody will even care what you look like."
"Aside from the fact that I look just like our enemy. I'll be lucky if I'm not imprisoned and executed for looking like this. Or killed on the battlefield by our own people."
"They wont do that. You're a hero to your superiors. They want more fighters like you. You went out to save your squads lives even though you could have blatantly died. That went against the docturine for combat completely."
"That was the mission. To kill that monster. So thats what I went to do. But I guess your right. I guess I'll take that title of hero. Heh. Suits me, you think?"
"Nope, not the new you. The old humble one maybe. But you're just being an a**. Heh its kinda funny."

Akina stayed silent as Neros and Lucifer conversed, walking on the other side of Neros whilst Lucifer was positioned on the other. She momentarily placed a comforting hand on Neros' shoulder when at last she opened her mouth, her gentle smile bright.
"Don't worry too much, that's my job. No matter what you look like, you're still you." ^^
