*Akuko sensed the presence of another in the room and felt confused. Seeing the blade drawn her eyes firmly met the demon's, her ears low as she raised a large paw ready to strike, claws fully extended waiting for the demon's next move*

"It shames me to see this place so... Dusty."

*Exhausted and weary Akuko(in weretiger form) shuffled in holding the lifeless looking body of Tobias. The Inn was dreary and dark but felt the presense of the travelers in need. Room Six glowed with ethereal light and Akuko heard a soft voice beckoning her.

She trudged up the stairs and just as she made it to room Six the door opened slowly revealing a room dressed all in white. A simple white sheeted bed was against the wall and next to it a nightstand with a basin of warm water and several small soft towels. At the foot of the bed lay a small white pet bed, clearly meant for her.

Gingerly she laid Tobias down on the bed and shifted to her human form. She was sore too, but her savior needed her more. She went to the basin and moistened a towel and began the careful cleansing of all of his surface wounds.

By the time she cleaned him up the basin was tinged a deep red and both towels were splotched with crimson. She pulled the sheet up to cover her friend lightly. He seemed full of energy, but trapped in a deep REM sleep. She could see his eyes moving quickly beneath his eyelids but could not pull herself to check anything further.

Finally feeling the full effects of the battle Akuko shifted into a Siamese cat and curled up in the soft pet bed. Though she settled in for a long rest she remained on alert for the slightest noise above her. She knew something happened on that battlefield when the demon was finally slayed....

Fatigue finally overtook her senses as her thoughts turned to nothingness and she fell into a deep dreamless sleep.*

*Some time passes, and Aindriahhn sneaks into the room, a small vial of something clutched in his hand. Putting the vial to Tobias' lips, he rubs his throat, pouring the liquid down it as he does so.*
*He sighs, a small sound.*
"Sorry, friend. I hope it hasn't been too long."
*Aindriahhn leaves the room, faint light slowly fills it.*

Fine mess you've gotten yourself into...
...What are you talking about?
You almost died...because you wanted to stop a "Lord of Demons," or something to that effect.
Wait...who are you?
...The Lord of Demons.
really?
Naw, just kidding you...but you may want to try waking up. You've been sleeping for far too long.

His eyes felt crusty from a long sleep and hurt when the light hit his face. His limbs would not move. He did not know how long he had been sleeping in this place. He couldn't remember where he was, or even who he was.

He did manage to move his head - to his left was a nightstand. All that was on there was a cup of water and a candle. To his right was the door. He tried to tell his hand to reach up and pull the covers off of him, but that didn't even work.

He looked to the foot of the bed and saw a sword on the opposite wall - it was dull in color and covered in dust. The sword was the only thing that was completely clear in his mind - its name was Eden. It was his sword.

Tobias' Sword.

His muscles began to cramp with their new strain.

Throughout the day, he kept trying - soon he was able to move his hands, and then his feet. After several hours, he had managed to work up a sweat just maneuvering himself into a seated position. His body was thin and weak. His arms felt heavy.

Once sitting upright, he tried his voice - at first it was only whispers, but eventually he was able to grasp his words, and he called out in a hoarse voice.

"Hello? Is anyone here?"

An unknown figure walks into the room. He rubs the Siamese gingerly, caressing the soft fur on her ears.

Tobias speaks "Hello? Is anyone here?"

"Suffering.. Pure and simple." The demon replies

"You killed me once, my friend. And for good reason, but the day will come.. When I am to let your blood flow like that of a river. But it will not be my hand that kills you.."

The demon hold his hand outward. Corruption lingering in it's grasp.
