Dealing With Brennan

The people in the King's tent had their eyes shine with either relief or opportunity. The king awoke! His current state didn't seem half bad either, they might be able to save themselves after all!

Brennan's grogginess was only temporary. With the Bloody and W taking his body for a spin, his body got real exercise. Not just that, he wasn't sleeping while Bloody and W controlled him. He was just alone inside his own head. He was with his own thoughts surrounded by endless darkness. It was a nightmare but it all felt real.

It felt real enough that, although he spent no more than a day in the darkness of his own mind, he could hardly handle that much. When he could finally see the rays of sunlight shining on his face past the open tent, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Your Majesty!" The knights who saw his current state were shaken and immediately approached, causing the tent to close.
