Zell awoke with a throbbing pain in his skull. He felt like his head was going to split open. As he opened his eyes, he found himself in a dimly lit chamber with walls of stone and dirt and a ceiling of the same. He was laying on a dirt floor with a makeshift pillow made of leaves and a blanket of threaded grass. The mysterious dragon woman from earlier was sitting across the room staring at him as he stirred to life.
She had put on a white toga that seemed to be common on these islands. "Oh good, you are awake." She said smiling. "I was afraid you may never wake up."
"What happened?" Zell said. "My head hurts so much."
"You tried to force yourself out of the barrier." She answered. "You cannot do that. It was created to repel any force applied to it equally. In other words you punched yourself and knocked yourself out."
"I pack quite a punch then." Zell said.
