A setback

Rudra gasped as he sat up sweating , both his fists were balled and he was ready to strike the first thing that moved around him reflexively.

Rudra's sudden movement startled the healers in the infirmary as one priest dropped the medical tray full of potions while another one sat on the floor with her hands covering her face as if defending herself from Rudra's attacks. 

" Calm down first commander , you are back at the camp " Omar's voice entered Rudra's ears as Rudra looked to his left to see Omar on the bed in the infirmary beside him , his left arm and abdomen soaked in blood and covered in bandages. 

A flashback of the seconds before he was knocked out replayed in Rudra's mind as he recalled Lucifer's dark attack and how he was utterly incapable of defending himself against it. 

" What happened" Rudra asked , his voice hoarse as if all the mucus inside his throat had been burnt away and only sore throat muscles were left behind.
