I don't how long I was in my coma like state for but while I slept I had a very strange dream. I started out in cave and there was a talking flower, then I was in a city fighting grinning giants while moving around like a manic, after that I was a very deep hole where a light blue goat, a pink griffon and a yellow dragon were playing a card game, and the most scary part, a shadowy figure standing over Katharine lifeless body, laughing like crazy until he became the black bear and he said, "you shall not wake from this dream, no one shall hear you screaming, so will you hold for the ride that I will take on tonight? For I'm Nightmare, your ruler, king of the eternal shadows, don't fear me, because together we'll have sweet dreams forever." After that he charged at me but right before he could sink his fangs into my head, I heard someone shout, "Three," followed by jolt of pain and I rejoined the world of the living.
The first thing I noticed was the pain in my right arm. It felt like my nervous system in my right arm was removed then reattached to my shoulder. The second thing I noticed was my eyesight. I could only see out of my right eye. I tried sit but I stop by a blond haired girl who looked around 15 or 16. "Easy," she said, trying to keep me from getting up, "you are still recovering from surgery." "Surgery," I said in disbelief, "please, I'm fine." And that was when I noticed that my right arm was not skin and bone, but metal. "What happened," I asked, very confused? "I found in the street a good thing too because you were bleeding very badly, I'm Winry, by the way, Winry Rockbell," she said, holding out her hand. "Lloyd," I replied, returning the handshake, and she helped me out of the bed. "Where am I," I asked her "Traverse Town," she said, "where those who lost their homes end up." "Wait you mean," I couldn't even finish my question. "Yeah," Winry said, "that want I thought at first too." I surveyed my surroundings and saw a mirror and saw why my eyesight was messed up. My left eye was clouded with a scar straight down it. I was blind in my left eye. "Tell me everything," I asked.
It took an hour for Winry to explain everything to me and I was still confused. "You know what," she said giving up, "I give up if you want to know how it works here you need to talk to Ekimu, and take this for your troubles." With that said she handed me 10,000 money. "Thanks," I said, "for the help," and left the room
30 minutes later I blew all the money Winry gave me on a Gunblade because I didn't want to be in a fight without a weapon. Anyway as I was looking for this Ekimu guy when someone in a black coat tried to attack me. "What do you want," I asked? My attacker said only one sentence, "rest young child, you have much to learn." And it attacked me on my left side and my world was swallowed by shadow.
