With a sudden jump, Ujio wakes up, punching the air, just to feel the pain of his broken ribs. ''Ungh!''. The groan is followed by the hand reaching for his chest as he lay down again. At his side, he saw Nahum, on his knees, praying. Ujio look up to the ceiling, forgetting the pain and thinking about Keagan and how he would tell Nahum. A dry tear rolls down the side of his face and he speaks, almost whispering.
''Nahum....Keagan....is gone''. He pauses and closes his eyes in pain. ''I..I killed him''.. The silence is more painful than the broken ribs and cuts. The scar on his neck burns and he continues. "We got down to the Underdark searching for the Ramset family. After the first assault against the drows, we all fell. But they left us alive for questioning. I was left aside with a duergar and Keagan and the others were taken to the city. They said I had no rank and therefore was not valuable to them. I managed to escape with the duergar's help and went into the city to rescue them. Another one escaped as well. Tolani was her name. We got to the prison where they were holding them, but there were too many guards...I gave Tolani a special ring that would take them out of the Underdark and stood there to hold the guards. I heard them opening the portal before I was knocked down unconscious. When I woke up, to my surprise, Keagan was still there and I was in a cell with him. He was in a different cell than the others and I didnt know. They....they threw us in a pit to fight each other. We refused. I refused! But...when the drow said that the winner would be set free Keagan told me to kill him and run. I...I...refused! But he...he started to hit me...and again...I told him to stop, and he kept screaming for me to kill him....I...didnt mean...I tried to avoid him but he was too fast...when I saw he was down, bleeding. His face disfigured''.
He pauses again and reaches for his scar, now burning and smelling like it is recent. ''They released me. He told me to talk to his brother...But I cannot do it. Can you deliver the message to him?''. He looks at Nahum and continues. ''He said: Tell my brother I will be waiting by Mother's side''. Another long silence surrounds him, and you can hear the scar making a noise, like it is still burning. "After that, i bought the duergar that saved me from slavery and went away from the city to look for a way out. I dont know how long it took, there was no Sun...no Moon...but felt like weeks. All i know is that I made it....and he....didnt. I dont know what else to say...I wish to go now''.
Ujio gets up with a silent moan and looks at Nahum. Waiting for the fight to come. As he gets up, you can see the large scar on his neck, with a symbol. Still fresh, like it was just made. And the healing did not affect it.
