While I lay, passed out on what I think is a bed, a nightmare came to me,  I dream of myself hanging in midair with hooks of iron piercing my limbs over a pit of fire, the smell of sweat and burnt skin, the clanging of the chains pulling my limbs from my body until I hang limbless dangling from a single hook on my left shoulder the pain was unbearable as I cried, screaming "PLEASE KILL ME, ANYITHING TO STOP THE PAIN!" then the smoke clears and bestows a dark figure, his face was engulfed in shadow so I don't know who he is, his hand reaches to me as I screamed "STAY AWAY FROM ME" his hand draws closer, "PLEASE NO!!" I screamed with pain, then the monster speaks but before I knew it I felt like I hit something hard and found myself on a wood floor, in some sort of room with a window and a single door.  I picked myself up from the ground but my limbs felt like they were held down by lead, but I was able to sit myself back up on the bed, grabbed my forehead "man what a nightmare." I said, I took a quick look at my body, my arm was in a sling, my waist was wrapped up in bandages my head feels like a drum… but over all I am alive.  While I was collecting myself I hear a conversation outside of my door "I'm telling you Doc, he might be dangerous he didn't get those wounds for no reason," one said, "ha, if you were so worried why you brought him here to our home… Laura, I understand you hate the humans for what they do to our kind… but we can prove to be better because of saving this man's life, get the food and I will check on our patient."  Door opens and a grey wolf Keidran walks in "good your up," he says "for a while I thought you weren't going to  make it," he walks over a chair and said "you had a fracture on you left arm, dislocated shoulder, an arrow that almost pierced your liver and kidney, large amount of blood loss, with a minor concoction and along with that you seem to have major spasms while you were unconscious and strange REM patterns, I worry that they were connected to your concoction," "I don't think they are related, I was probably reliving a painful memory/nightmare," I said, "from your time in a cell?"  I gazed at him in shock "h-how did you know?"  "those scars on your back, I have seen them on former slaves and since you are human I doubt that you were a slave, I have to say you must have been in a great deal of pain, don't worry your secret is between you, me and my assistant,"  The door opens, "speak of the devil, this is my assistant, Laura, she's a physician in training,"  as he speaks the black cat Keidran, the one that I saw when I first woke up enters the room with a platter with a bowl of stew, an apple, and a tall glass of what looked like green moss in liquid form. "Strange" I said "What? That a Keidran can become a doctor,  or that a 'vicious' Keidran would take pity and save a human," said Laura in an annoyed voice "no, it is the fact that the women who I first saw when I woke up in the river is also my savior, to bring me here, patch me up, and is now giving me food," she looked at me in a surprised look, probably from what I said "the fact that you showed sympathy on a nearly dead man is not so surprising to me,  to be honest I would be more surprised with what is in that glass (sarcastic laugh)," I said "It is a herbal remedy made to prevent infection, helps build red blood cells and rejuvenates the body," said the grey wolf Keidran "actually, Laura made this herself,"  "It was nothing," she said in a proud voice, "it may lack taste but is full proof."  I take the glass from the tray "first you are a doctor, then you are an herbalist what a combo, my name is Jacob Lynback I got your name Laura, but sir I never got your name Mr…" "Just call me doc" The Grey Keidran said, "Doc, ok I just want to know when can I leave, i appreciate for what you have done for me but the last thing that I want become is a burden," I said to him as I was standing up until he pushed me back to the bed, "I need to keep an eye on your healing process, you won't be able to use that arm for a few weeks at least and on top of that your arrow wound, it will reopen if you stress it,"  Doc said to me as I was looking at the glass in my hand "yeah but that is for a normal person," I drink the green drink, it tasted of fresh cut grass and felt like sludge, man that was nasty "I bet you I will be able to perform chin-ups with just this arm in three days and the rest of my body will be healed in four." I said confident voice.  Doc tilted his head to the side and said "how exactly?" "I got a few tricks up my sleeve, like I said I am not a normal guy."  These people are very kind especially knowing what I was, I just worry that would be their downfall, to help an ex-convict for what I know and what I am planning.

It's been 5 days since I woke up and apparently Doc said I was asleep for three days before that… eight days out of what I call hell, it feels good to have a break from all of the chains.   During those five days I preformed healing magic at while they were asleep. As I was putting on my clothes which apparently seem to be for a Keidran there is a hole for a tail and they don't have any boots.  I took a look at the mirror in my room and I saw a dirty, hairy, what would seem like an old man and I am only twenty-six "sigh, man… I look Terrible," I took a look around and found a fold out razor; I took the razor and glimpsed at the exposed blade and started shaving my beard.  After the shave I cut my hair so it can just cover my neck.  I scanned down to my torso and apparently I looked a little scrawny I need to get myself back in shape.  I walked outside of the cabin an gazed at the piece of land that I  been staying at for over a week, the sun peeked through the canopy of the tall trees soft grass beneath my feet and clean air instead of the smell of the dead, urine and shit that I had to deal with in a prison cell.  I was getting into my fighting stance, I threw kicks, punches, blocks and jumps, at least my martial arts haven't got sloppy over the years.  I stopped training after the first hour, it felt great to move around like this again, the sweat on my brow and the heat of my body, I feel like a new man.  I looked over my shoulder and saw Laura "hey Laura," I said, "umm, I was just out here to get a little work out in, hope you don't mind."  "look I may have saved your life but that doesn't mean we are friends, I don't trust you," Laura was saying while she was moving closer to me and I was walking backwards "no one can heal that fast, spill it you are a Templar aren't you!"  "I'm not a Templar and I never will level myself with those simple minded barbarians," I replied "if you are not a Templar then what are you?" she asked in a impatient voice, I smiled and I answered "I am a new age profit to a new form of magic that will change the way that humans, Keidrans, and basitin see each other, I am the great sage, Jacob Lynback!  I learned the ways of Jujitsu, and Bushido. I have climbed the tallest mountain to find enlightenment, went through joy and pain in twenty years' time and have a plan to change this world for the better." She looked at me like I was a madman "that seems a little rehearsed 'new age profit of magic?' 'Great sage?' Well whatever, Doc wants to see you about your arm again." "Ok, tell doc that I want to clean myself up before my checkup."
