Sunspire Mountains death only comes when you're defeated

His vision was blurry, probably from the effects of the poppy seeds, he had eaten quite a lot after all, the pain of his wounds dulled but at the same time, he felt Somnus's presence, trying to get him into his realm. Poppy seeds were known to dull the pain and help you sleep after all. Vale blinked as a dark form moved towards him, only realizing who she was from her scent. He attempted a half smile, "Hey Ame," he murmured tiredly. Dulling the pain was probably not a good idea at all. It was never a good idea to dull pain, for it determined how bad the damage truly was and how it was healing.

"What happened to you?", the Roman winced slightly. "Went...went to hunt the cougar. It leaped at me, from the back....coward." he shook his head, trying to concentrate. "Fought it, couldn't beat it...so I ran, the wounds held me back....but I managed." Dull spots clouded Valerius's vision as he attempted to stand, wobbling on all fours. "So I'm back...not in the best condition but I'll heal.....If only I had some burdock root. Damn the stupid fever," he mumbled.
