Where, who, and WHAT am I?
Groaning, I opened my eyes. Someone had placed me in a bed in a cool and damp cave. Every part of me was wrapped in gauze--although I had no idea why.
"Don't try to move," someone said from my lower left. "You've got severe burns all over your body. I don't want you to break any of the scabbing over."
When I spoke, my throat cracked, "Where--?"
"You are safe," the person said, leaning over me. It was an ancient little old woman. "I am Lady Eirny."
"Oh...Who--"
"Are you? I do not know. Your clothes were pretty much destroyed as well as any identification. Perhaps I should name you? Yes, I shall name you...Kendra."
I tried to smile, but the pain of my cheeks cracking prevented me from doing so. Sighing, I felt horns grow out of my top of my head.
What the hell? I thought, wanting to reach up and feel the horns but unable to due to my burns.
"Well," Lady Eirny said, looking at my horns with mild interest. "That's...interesting. We'll talk more, Miss Kendra. For now, sleep."
As much as I wanted to stay awake, I fell back asleep.
