"Ugh... My head." Slowly, Leon found himself regaining consciousness. A bright light shone over his head, and he felt as if his skull had been split in two. He tried sitting up, but his arms felt like jelly beside him.
"Finally awake, huh?" Beside him, a voice spoke. He wanted to turn his head but found it too difficult. He had to wait for a few moments before trying again, slowly inching his head to the side.
In the bed beside him, his teacher laid. Stewart had a small smile on his face as he watched his student. He had been barely conscious when Leon, or rather, the being that possessed him, had fought with Mustafa. And he had seen the absolute, reality defying power that had been displayed, easily beating the black scaled feline monster. He did not know how it was possible, but he was grateful to his student for saving his life.
