A Painful Start

I look around seeing my surroundings, I see them in a weird 360-degree view, but there is something I don't see. ME! I don't see me, I Just see a tall scrawny looking man with graying brown hair and tan leather armour, with a sword on his hip. I try to move I try to scream, nothing works. All I can do is look on, as this man slowly creeps down what looks to be a cave, with jagged stones on all sides and glowing moss growing on the ceiling. As this man continues to walk down deeper into the cave I begin to wonder, am I dreaming. If so I would love to wake up, just looking at this dude is pretty boring.

Screeeee

A screech resonates throughout the cave as two bipedal hyenas come running down, with crude stone weapons drawn. Scraps of leather haphazardly draped over their bodies, in an attempt to protect their vitals.

Excited that something is happening I watch on as the scrawny man draws his sword, preparing for battle. One of the bipedal hyenas swings down with his stone axe aiming for the man's head, but the man raises his sword and deflects the blow.

Ghaaaaaaa

What the hell! Why did it feel like I just got hit? Also, you're not supposed to feel pain in dreams. So wait, am I not in a dream?

Again and again, every time the man deflects one of the Hyenas weapons I feel pain. What's going on, where am I to be feeling all this pain?

A cracking sound is heard as the man's sword splits down the middle, pieces falling to the ground. I internally scream in pain, feeling as if I've just been blown apart. The pain is too much, I feel my self losing consciousness, the last thought going through my head before giving in to the darkness.

Was I the sword?

I wake up, still in the cave. On the ground is a deep scarlet bloodstain going deeper down the jagged tunnel. Most likely from the Hyenas dragging their kill back to where ever they live. I see the shattered sword lying in a pile on the ground, I move. Wait I move?

Yes, I can finally move again. I take in everything as I bask in the glory of movement. Noticing too things.

One. It appears I am some kind of wisp of energy floating about three inches off the ground.

Two. In the corner of my vision, I see some kind of notification.
