| - Neltor was the next to regain consciousness, and as he looked around he saw that he was in a gloomy room. One doctor sat beside the bed he lay in, while as he looked around he saw that Elorn had another doctor beside him. He gazed on to view three doctors around Fikar. He kept looking around to see four others talking over Nero. As he stared on he saw laying on bed next to him Dazanra. The doctor standing next to him turned around and said in glee “Good morning, and now I would like to know about the conflict last night. It seems to have been quite hectic, as you had all been knocked out in that battle, last night. So what happened?” Neltor stared at him dully, he was thinking, so confused. As he thought, he wondered what else had happened. He kept looking at the doctor. He thought hard and started remembering fragments of the event last night. As he put the puzzle together he realized that one of the doctors was taking a knife out and preparing to cause a homicidal wound to Nero. He yelled in rage as he lunged out of the bed and slammed the doctor off balance. The doctor spun around to slit Neltor’s neck but Neltor was fully awake now and stole the knife from the doctor’s hand and positioned himself beside the wall. As he did so one of the doctors focused. Neltor soul bonded with Elorn, Elorn received the message, Elorn stirred, the Lorn shot a ray of energy at Neltor, Neltor dodged the ray, the ray chased him, he tackled the doctor, who then lost concentration. The other doctors lurched at Neltor, who dived for the door. Neltor broke down the door as Elorn jumped up reflexively, and both ran for the exit, leaving the deadly doctors in disarray. The doctors then turned their attention back on Nero, as one of them held a dagger and prepared to strike. The twins realized that they had to save him, and rushed back, causing disruptions, while Fikar struck from behind, knocking the doctors into chaos. The next moment, the doctors saw one of their number being held hostage on the far wall, with the blade of a knife pressed against her neck by Neltor. Neltor commanded: “Free Nero, heal Fikar, and keep Dazanra unconscious. Any disobedience will have the consequence of me killing my captive. Understood?” The doctors mumbled in a low hum the word “yes... ” As they prepared to get up Neltor yelled “Crawl!... line up here!” As they crawled over to him like slaves he ordered “Stand up, one at a time, and look at the wall opposing me!” As they followed the orders Neltor looked for a secondary vein, and when he saw one he would pull their heads back to slice it against the sharp blade of the knife. When they were done that he ordered “Put out your arms one at a time!” As the doctors did this in an orderly fashion he disabled their muscles with slices to their muscles. As he did this he told them with authority “Lay down and face the ground!" As they did so, he kneeled down and put the female doctor’s throat just above the knife as it slithered through their legs’ muscles. Neltor then yelled “Bandage your wounds but don’t go near the runes!” As they did this he cut the hostage’s muscles and her secondary vein, as she was capable of using magic. He threw her to the floor and told her to follow the others. As she scurried after the others, Neltor went to the rune cabinet and collected some runes to add to his rune sack. As he looked down the rows of flasks, he found one that was labeled `multiplier`, and he also took 2 boxes labeled `energy tonics`. He walked over to Elorn and slowly poured one portion down his throat, remembering when Elorn had gotten gravely ill some time ago and Neltor had to create a mush to feed him for the twelve days. He picked Elorn up and set him in a soft bed. After doing this he walked towards Nero and Fikar and gave them a portion also. He then marched to Dazanra and raised Dazanra’s head. He slit Dazanra’s vein and followed it with the disabling of his muscles. Neltor walked to the door and pulled it up, as he poured the multiplier rune on the cracks of the wood, and as he hoped, the liquid cloned itself into wood. The door sealed, Neltor walked by the group of doctors and looked at them laying there with bandages over their wounds. He picked up a bar lock and carried it over to the door, when he reached the door he put the sturdy bar on the lock holders. He went and sat down on a bed and thought. As he sat on the bed he looked at the knife and wondered where the doctors had put all the weaponry. As he gazed about he noticed that one of the doctors was sliding towards a drawer, he immediately shot up and hollered out for the doctor to stop. As he reached the drawer and opened it, he saw all the weaponry and two encyclopedias pilled on top of each other. He turned to the doctor and hissed “Go into the corner nearest to the group and stay there!”as the doctor obeyed the order, Neltor ripped off the bandages on the doctor and threw them on the vulnerable wounds. Neltor then waited on the bed with the inventory. He sat there watching the doctors, thinking of them like savages, planning to murder those they mend. As he thought he heard a bed mat rustle against the dry hay. He looked dully at Elorn and gave a grin as Elorn looked about confusingly at the surroundings that were only vividly written into his mind. Neltor walked over to Elorn and sat down on the mat, he had a large explanation to tell. “Elorn...These people tried to kill us...I have my reasons...I can’t explain it all...You have to trust me...They’re dangerous...Nero will know what to do...” Elorn looked at Neltor and looked around himself to see his setting again, to let it sink in. Elorn lay down and moaned in exhaustion “I’m going to take a rest...” Neltor walked over to give Nero another energy tonic. He was tired...He had a headache...He was confused...his memories were fuzzy...he couldn’t remember what he had just been doing...he began to remember the alphabet...he started to remember how to move...he began to remember his vocabulary...He visioned an odd looking creature...he thought ‘fiend’...he visioned a fikos...he wondered why he thought `Fikar`...then everything started to flow, his memories waved in...he had regained his conscious. Nero had awoken... Neltor got up and yelled at the doctors. “Now you have three people watching you!” The doctors looked over with a grim face and lay on an area they had swept clean with bandages. Nero looked about and saw Dazanra, he expressionlessly asked “Did you kill him?” Neltor replied with the same tone “No, I just took away any threat he held. I acted as I saw fit, but now you can take control.” Nero gazed around, as he caught sight of a doctor, he took off his mask and stared at the doctor, mesmerizing the doctor in trauma. He got up, broke the bondage but engulfed the doctor in fear of what he might do to the doctor. He stood their for a moment and lazily told Neltor, “We should sneak off this boat in one of their smaller crafts. We’ll take Dazanra with us. The doctors can stay here, by time they mend their wounds and escape we’ll be gone,” and with that Nero strode to the cabinet and set a muffler rune at the door. “There...”
