*Rion*
The first thing that I was aware of was the annoying beeping next to my head. It was like a bug that I just couldn’t kill. When I opened my eyes, I squinted up at the sterile white ceiling.
I was lying down on a soft but firm mattress but my head was propped up. As my eyes adjusted, it was immediately clear that I was in some kind of hospital.
I had never been to this one before. It was much fancier and cleaner than the ones I had been to back in Egoren. There was a bunch of high-tech equipment in the room, including the one that was attached to my arm by a long thin tube. Clear liquid ran through and into the needle taped to my arm.
I lifted my head and looked across the room. There was a large screen displaying a bunch of numbers and notes. A graph was tracking my heart rate as well as my breathing.
