When Leo woke up he could barely move his body.
The adrenaline stopped being produced and Leo finally felt the full extent of his injuries.
He could barely walk anymore from the pain.
when Leo checked the rag from the cloak that he bound around his chest and leg injury he saw that it was crimson red.
Leo wanted to get them replaced but quickly realized he didn't have anything to replace them with except his own cloak, which he didn't want to tear up even more since it was ice cold outside.
If it wasn't for the cloak he was wearing he would probably have frozen to death.
Nevertheless, Leo started walking again despite his pain.
He didn't have any other option since if he didn't move he would eventually die aswell.
After walking for a while Leo ended up getting hungry
"Guess SCPs still get hungry, huh?" he thought.
Leo looked around but could not find anything worth his time.
He continued walking and after a while, he spotted a creek.
The creek was not deep, maybe 1.5 meters max but it was clear blue, Leo could see straight through it.
When Leo approached the creek he noticed that there were fish swimming around in the lake.
He leaned over the water and shapeshifted his hand into a spike and impaled a couple of fish for breakfast.
Leo did not have the energy to cook the fish, so he ate them raw.
He continued walking through the wilderness, but the meal didn't help him at all.
Due to his sorry state and what he assumed was a lack of vitamins and minerals, Leo couldn't reproduce a lot of blood.
His wounds had opened again at night so he pretty much lost all the blood that he reproduced, not to mention it was freezing cold outside.
Leo's breath grew shorter and shorter as he dragged his body forward, both his legs were aching to rest but Leo knew that the moment he sat down he wouldn't be able to continue on due to the fatigue, so he persevered.
After walking for another fifteen minutes, Leo's vision got blury.
For a while, Leo considered if this was truly what he wanted.
He was in constant pain and agony, and this was only the beginning of his journey.
He considered just giving up if this was what he would constantly have to go through but continued struggling forward.
However, Leo's perseverance eventually took its toll as Leo collapsed down on the ground, unable to go on.
"Did I really suffer through all of this just to die again?" thought Leo.
"Sogrith, why didn't you help me! You said you would keep me alive you lying bastard!" thought Leo as tears began to flow from his eyes.
However, Sogrith didn't respond.
"Is this perhaps the afterlife...?" thought Leo for a second, but he quickly shook that thought off, all of it felt too real.
In the end, Leo passed out in the middle of the forest, as his last thoughts echoed through his head.
"Why does everyone and everything betray me..."

"Who is that..." thought Leo as he saw a blurry person in front of him.
Leo no longer was outside as well.
It looked like the person was calling out to Leo but Leo didn't hear anything.
That was until the person shook his shoulders, sending a shock of pain through Leo's body.
"Hey!" yelled the person.
Leo let out a moan of pain as he looked around the room.
He appeared to be in a bedroom in a small village.
There wasn't much in the bedroom, just the typical stuff you expect.
"Who are you...?" asked Leo as he tried to sit upright in the bed.
"My name is Yasha, you are staying in my inn right now. My father, Tony found you in the forest passed out with severe injuries.
He brought you to the inn and I ended up trying to stitch up the wounds the best I could, You had severe hypothermia when you were brought in so we laid you down in this bed until you could recover, how did you even get stabbed to start with?" asked Yasha
Leo knew all too well that he couldn't tell the truth and any excuse would seem suspicious, so he went for the easiest one.
"I... Don't remember..."
