Oh, ah! My arm! My leg!
Bryant shuddered and was shocked awake from his nightmare. After regaining consciousness, he felt that he was under the covers of a bed. It felt warm and soft. His broken limbs weren't in pain either. They didn't seem to be hurt; he could even move them.
He found this strange. What's going on? Were they all nightmares? And now I'm awake, so none of that had happened?
Opening his eyes, Bryant looked around. He was lying in an open and bright room. The furniture inside looked familiar. At closer inspection, he seemed to be in the courtyard from before.
Sitting up, he looked at his hands. He realized that there were many subtle runes on his skin. Immediately, he recognized that his hands and feet weren't actually his. This was a flesh magic puppet spell.
Oh, seems that everything that had happened was real. Bryant sighed.
"You're awake?" a voice asked.
