Shooting the upper portion of his body up like like someone had just rung a gong inside of his ears, he put his right hand up to his head and gripped tightly. Argh! I feel like someone tried to put my brain together with duct tape after cutting it to pieces! he thought, having gotten the worst headache imaginable. This was actually his first headache, as he had never actually gotten one that was naturally occurring, just from being smacked around by things like mountain squids and the Minotaur. Of course, never having gotten one before, it was even more destructive than it would've been otherwise. I can barely hear myself think! Ugh, at least Im still alive to feel the pain, and I haven't gone crazy Zen thought again, also thinking of those who came before him and failed.
His vision was very blurred, understandably, so he squinted his eyes to try and get a better look to his surroundings, but to no avail. Something was different, very different, and it wasn't just his violently throbbing brain, it was something inside him. Zen felt as though he knew what was missing, what had been lost, so he extended his free arm and opened his left palm. Seems like I really have passed the true point of now return... he thought a bit sadly as he couldn't make his left hand sublimate. That meant that he could no longer use ice magic, his falcon, dragon, tortoise, crocodile, his dark side, they were all gone, for the better, or worse.
Some people may have regretted their decisions in his situation, but not him, he was well aware at what he was giving up and did not plan on looking back now. After about thirty minutes, his headache was weak enough to be bearable, so he got up and squinted again. His vision finally came back, seemingly sharper than it had been before. Looking around, he noticed that he was on the crescent shaped cliff that overlooked the calm sea. Now the question remained, where was Aegis?
