Pain! Excruciating pain coursed through his body.
It was the only sensation he could feel. Everything else was gone.
His consciousness was fading. He could feel the darkness approaching, and it was welcoming.
Then there was light.
And then the pain came again and his eyes closed on their own.
...
Then he woke again, the pain was replaced with numbness and there was a cruel coldness to the air.
He blinked his eyes as he was not able to clearly see what was going on.
Slowly, his senses returned to him, and he realized he was still in the air as all he was seeing was the leaves of trees spread like a wild carpet over a long distance.
For a second he feared he was still falling from the cliff, but then again, the scenery wasn't coming close at all.
He took a deep breath and composed himself, and looked around to perceive what was going on.
And there was it! And there was he!
