Hello!

Everything around me seemed strange, I was completely uncomfortable. I've never been here before, and something tells me I'm not welcome here.

I remember briefly waking up, and asking for Tre just before dosing back off. My head felt swollen in every spot, that I could barely understand what was happening.

Laying here, I could hear passing conversations of doctors in the hospital. Most of the time rushing to tend to any patients needs, but sometimes I could hear stories, memories, and gossip.

I heard someone comment about the amount of knots in my hair, and how translucent my skin looked. To my defense, I was hit in the head by a 2 ton mass of earth.

The whispers of a conversation between a male and female conversation gave me clues that someone had been angry with Thea.

They said she brought something forbidden to their world, and the forces she brought upon them were unrecognizable. The male was adamant there were consequences Thea must bear from bringing such force into the azlynn river. The female seemed worried that the magic would be drained by such unknown forces.

All of this was too vague for me to comprehend, but I had to warn Thea of what was to come.

Sitting up in the bed more, I looked up and could see a male doctor sitting at the front desk. He looked pretty similar to Thea, the same green eyes, same wavy hair, and same nose. I groaned out with pain,"Where's avi, I seen the boulder thing flying towards me. Did he get thrown? Is he here?"

"who? I'm sorry, I don't know who you're looking for, but if you could lay back down that would be helpful," The doctor called back.

"Treviso, Capri, Anthesa? Where are my friends, where am I? You need to answer my questions," I shouted back scrunching my eyebrows,"Am I dead? Am I drowning, I never got to say goodbye!"

Another doctor walked in rushing towards my bed, instinctively I held my hands out to keep them from grabbing ahold of me.

I don't like being in unfamiliar settings, I like being in the comfort of my own home, my friends home, or at my moms. I get that I needed to heal, but the only thing on my mind right now is getting up.

"Sit back! You'll be here for another day, so better like where you're at," The other doctor strictly instructed.

"I just need to know where my friends are," I gasped out. Why wasn't anyone listening to me? How many questions did I need to ask before I got one answered.

"We will call Thea and let her know you're awake, you're friends are okay. You can see them all tomorrow, but if you can't calm down I'm going to have to make you go back to sleep," he whispered, fixing his silky black hair from falling in his face,"Now if you don't calm down, that headache will just get worse!"

Suddenly, I remember the sound of that voice. I remember hearing a brief conversation between this doctor and Thea. I think she called him Nai?

I looked up at the doctor standing above me and asked,"Nai, is that your name?"

Nai shook his head yes, looking quite confused considering he had not been wearing any form of identification.

" You told her you were disappointed, but if you look close enough, she's just someone wanting to be seen.  I can't be the only one to notice the way she stares at the ground, or how insecure she speaks. To me, it seems like she's never been accepted, but yet continuously ridiculed," I said harshly, then looking at the other doctor who I believe is Thea's brother and snapped, "And you must be her brother, so quick to judge. Maybe listen to your sister speak for five seconds, without downgrading her!"
