After taking a deep breath, Zion pulled himself together and got up after a little more rest. His back felt as if it were hit by a hammer when he got up. He hissed in pain and cursed under his breath.
Just what kind of body did the Methu man give him? Why did his body become so weak after exerting it for the first time? His grudge against the man kept multiplying every time he would fall into a desperate situation.
He steadied himself and stood straight until his pain subsided and carefully took a step. Only after walking for a while did he realize that his back would ache only when he would get up from his seat. After learning that, he sighed in relief. He could at least take another step and find out more about what was going on around the kingdom at this time. He believed that without any prior knowledge, he wouldn't be able to plan clearly.
