A pained look on his face greets the land, blue eyes open and observing. Waiting for answers- something more. A warrior-kin, to pick him up off the ground.
"あなたはまだ死んではいません!" They would say, grabbing him by the back of his shirt and physically pulling him onto his feet.
Yet no such thing happened. The birds chirped and sang like they hadn't in so long. His ears twitched to their melody, causing him to raise his head in wonder. Was the battle over? How could his family leave him behind like that? On a battlefield, none-the-less?
When attempting to reach his hand out to catch himself while he stood, the paw of a beast stepped before him. The man yelped, his body and expression very animated as he withdrew with fear. Head turning quickly, only to see no beast. No other creature at all, really.
Was he hallucinating? Did the fumes of burning fires bewitch his head?
The man stepped out once more, the claws of the beast again doing the same. This time he stopped to observe the beast, following up it's arm only to find that he was the source. Heart sinking into his stomach, he howled in panic. What trick had been laid for him now?
No matter how much he shook his head or blinked and rubbed his eyes, the beastly form he took wouldn't go away. A tail followed after him as he ran, ungainly and unbalanced, on all fours. The man would trip in his restlessness, tumbling down from the rocky outcropping he awoke on. The trees greeted him at the bottom, along with the sounds of the forest.
He sat, bewildered at all the new sounds he could hear and scents he could smell. This must be a dream of some kind...
or he fell into some very questionable plants.
