[Iserdia] Alive

Post by Luix Rakira »

Ludwig Drakire could not yet identify shapes, faces, or words. He could not yet speak or indicate he was listening, let along comprehending. But he was alive. He didn't even know how.

The other patients left him alone in the corner in his wheel chair, mumbling some unheard tune to himself.

No one knew his name. Just that he was left in a bloody huddled mess earlier that day before sunrise in front of the Glenfiddich General Hospital. Paramedics outside on a smoke break only noticed hooded figures dashing away.

A fresh-looking tattooed block of text was on his arm. No one could read it. They hoped he could when he regained more of his faculties.

Ludwig awoke to a loud scream. He found himself in a cold sweat.

It was he who screamed.

The shock was finally wearing off. His face stung. His fingers traced a long scar on his face.

That axe. He shivered.

Then his fingers found their way to his forearm. It itched. He felt raised lines.

"Scratches?" He thought as he turned to click on the bedside lamp. "Owwww...." It took a minute for his eyes to adjust. He thought his left eye seemed a little blurry too.

"A tattoo? In Old Natopian? Few people can read even the revised script, let alone the old form....."

"Paidron....or Neoptolemus.... he knew I took pre-reorg history in college. He knew only I could read this. Lets see.....

"A traitor deserves
To show his cowardice.
You will watch children
Curse your name in rhyme.

You will die if you return.
But not by us,
By those that loved you.

Redeem yourself here
Among people of your blood.
Begin again.
But never forgot your sin."
