PROLOGUE:
"How do you feel?" Krystal said. "Can you stand up?"
A moan and a gesture frim the human's arm was about the only thing she received as a reply. The vixen bowed her head and sighed, closing his eyes.
"Perhaps some water will help?" offered Wizy, who was just besides her. Krystal opeened her eyes again and turned to see Piper, standing besides the doorway.
"Piper, please fetch us some water." said she, after a few seconds of consideration. The female Koopa nodded, and rushed out of the room.
Meanwhile, Nathan shifted his body in the bed, groaning in sheer confusion. He held his head with his left hand and complained some more. Krystal held his right hand, patting it with her free paw. Concern read all over the vixen's face.
"Maybe we over did it a bit," she said. "I am still not sure if this is a good idea, Wizy."
"I am sure this is the way it was to be." assured the Koopa sorcerer. His hands were locked togheter on his lap, looking at the human with his thick eyeglasses. "If he is indeed, the new Game Master, then we have yet to sustain hope."
Piper entered the room once more, carrying a bucketfull of ice cold water. She walked carefully, not letting a single drop of the liquid splash over the newl-cleaned floor. She rendered the room spotless before Nathan was brought inside of it. Hardly a speck of dust was visible on the furniture.
"Here's the water!" the female Koopa said with a cheerful tone, "Would you like anything else?"
"Thank you, just set it beside me," Krystal replied, letting go of Nathan,"And no, nothing else is needed. Leave us for now, Piper."
With a slight bow, Piper walked outside the room once more. Krystal took out the towel inside the bucket and squeezed the excess water from it, then set it aside. She grabbed the bucket with her paws afterwards.
Then splashed the ice-cold water on Nathan's face.
