Frisky sorcery

Parnter for life

Tex woke sharply, his eyes burned and his body ached. He could barely move, it was hard to breathe.

He tried to sit up but his body wouldn't budge. He felt the breathing mask on his face. It clung tightly too him.

He heard the beep of a heart monitor and his chest was plastered with cables.

"He's awake!"

The room bustled with activity.

His head spun and the light was so bright. It almost hurt.

Wix - "hey Tex... how are ya..."

Tex - "my head hurts... like I was hit in the head with a brick."

Wix - "that makes sense... you feeling alright?"

Tex - "my chest hurts but I feel... moderately ok..."

Wix - "you've been asleep for a while..."

Tex - "how long..."

Wix - "about... a week or two..."

Tex gasped but he couldn't truly express his shock due to fatigue.

Cliz - "it's true. After you passed out you didn't move. I thought you were dead but Denstry hooked you to a heart monitor and kept you stable.

Tex - "where... where is he..."

Cliz - "he's fine... thank to you. He is just with another patient right now. Fenx is here."

Tex - "hey Fenxs..."

Fenx - "hiya buddy..."

Tex felt cold. He felt the magic within slowly pulsing, regrowing.

Tex - "why did I pass out..."

Cliz - "you overstrained your body. You weren't use to any near the amount of magic you used. The adrenaline is what kept you going. Once that was gone you passed out."

Tex felt his muscles relaxing and he was finally able to sit up.

Tex - "and the eaters?"

Cliz - "the ones you killed were examined. The rest were terminated."

Tex - "so... we're safe?"

Cliz - "for now... yes."

Tex heaved a sigh of relief.

Cliz - "so your feeling good?"

Tex - "yeah, just sore..."

Cliz - "what you did 2 weeks ago. Was really impressive I must say. Those don't come easy out of my mouth."

Tex - "oh uh... thanks?"

Cliz - "good job kid..."

Cliz walked out of the room.

Wix - "you rest up bud"

Tex - "actually I'm feeling better... I think I can stand"

Tex hoped out of bed using it as a support. His legs were slightly weak but after a minute he'd got his footing.

Tex - "would ya look at that."

Wix - "jeez, show off"

Fenx - "remember not to push yourself too much this time."

Tex - "noted"

Tex walked down the corridors. His mind flicked between each one. His iq had significantly increased since having magic, it made his memory photographic.

He felt out of place though. He was at a significant height difference. Gothilians were normal 8 to 9 feet making Tex look oddly small. He didn't mind it too much though.
