He groaned, reaching for the back of his head. Slowly, he opened his eyes to look around. Didn't he? He frowned and tried again. Nope. He pushed himself up into a sitting position, careful to go slowly. As he reached an upright position, he felt a hard tug, and it HURT! He quickly lowered himself back down again. He reached back, feeling for the cause of the pain. He found the culprit, a black braid of hair that he was apparently resting on.

After carefully moving the braid from harm's way, he repeated the process, managing to sit up without any more troubles. He moved his braid to his back, and started crawling on his hands and knees, careful not to crawl on it. However, with all his concentration, on the braid, he neglected to consider obstacles. Namely, the wall he found with his face.

After consoling his nose with a good rubbing, he began to explore the wall, going slowly, lest he disturb some supremely aggressive insect with a death wish. He stood up, using the wall as a support. He started shuffling sideways, keeping contact with the walls.

Gradually the light increased, which alluded to the fact that he wasn't actually blind. After breathing a sigh of relief, he continued, stubbing his toe more than once on an obliging rock. Muttering curses, he rounded a bend in the tunnel and stopped.

"Wait a minute… Why am I in a cave?"

He leaned against the wall, trying to remember his reason for being in said cave. Failing that, he tried finding any memory of anything prior to being in afore mentioned cave.

"Well… Amnesia much…"

He sighed and started to sit against the cave wall before stopping, due to an insistent pain in the general area of his butt.

He looked down. A waving blue tail greeted his eyes.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me."

He continued his descent, but stopped, a frown on his face.

"Wait a minute…"

He grabbed his tail, and followed it back, to see it disappear into his pants, and turn into a giant blue body.

"Oh crap..."

He sat down, hard with his head in his hands. However, sitting down hard is not advisable when doing so on a rocky cliffside. As quickly as he sat down, he jumped up, suppressing a yelp, due to an inconveniently placed rock.

"This place is out to get me!" He exclaimed, tending to his sore rear.

After many failed attempts at rock wall climbing, he finally manage to make it to the bottom of the cliff, with only some minor scrapes on his arms and legs. Breathing heavily he saw a nearby brook, and started limping towards it, his limbs protesting wearily. He cupped the water with his hands and drank, letting the cool water run down his parched throat, sighing in bliss at the feeling.

He slowly got up, his body protesting after the excruciating exercise. He hobbled towards the tree line, noting the position of the sun. By the angle of it in the sky, he judged that he had about two more hours of daylight left before night. That being said, he should probably find shelter, or risk this place during the night.

With a note of apology to his aching appendages, he meticulously climbed his way into one of the larger trees in the area he settled into his impromptu bed, wondering why he was here, and why he couldn't remember.
