Pain was the first sensation to enter Lind's mind. It told him he was alive and it also told him he was in abysmal shape.
Pain was followed by a bad attempt to move his Qi that only increased his pain once more. Still, the Qi did move so his meridians and crystal still existed.
All of this was good news insofar as it applied to him being alive.
Light burned his retinas as he slowly blinked to find himself in an unfamiliar place. It was not the stone room of the infirmary of the tower and gentle breezes were coming in through the windows at the top of the pristine white walls.
Fine silk curtains surrounded his bed and he noticed several pale blue and green artifacts were on either side feeding him Qi and what seemed to be an elixir as well.
His curiosity almost made him forget to not move too much but the pain helped sharply remind him he was not well.
