What do you find when you wake?

Victory.

Chapter 26 by latexdoll latexdoll

Waking brings nothing but pain. You can't concentrate enough to use magic, and judging by the blood and pain you are pretty sure you are dying. But you do come up with another idea, focusing all your concentration you form a mental image of your human disguise and choke out, “Human.” Trying to keep the image as a fully healed version of yourself. Your body resists the change, but slowly your body does what it is told and you become a slender human. Instantly your lungs fill with air as the wounds vanish. “Oh god it worked.” You say panting. While you are weak, you are alive. You know you will need lots of rest, if not some magic, but you are alive. Pulling yourself to your feet, you survey the scene. All of the creatures are dead, you are alive. All in all, a win. You take your time as you still feel like the only thing keeping you in human form is pure willpower. Looking around you put your things back in place, load up, and are able to scrounge 25 silver and 12 gold coins. You consider for a moment taking some of their weapons, but you can't get over the smell that you are sure is human blood. It takes several hours before you are strong enough to travel, but eventually you head out.

That day brings only slow travel, a tiny bit of hunting, and a lot of pain. That said, you are alive, and as night comes, you settle in and go to sleep. Sadly the second you fall asleep you revert back to your normal form and wake instantly in pain. But your body seems to want to remember how it was before you were injured, and you are better off than before. You are able to get some fitful sleep, and as morning comes, you opt your human disguise once again. The next day is better, while human the pain is basically gone, only the fatigue remains. You once again do a tiny bit of hunting, and sadly do not get nearly as far as you should have, but this time as you drift off to sleep, you return to your normal form, but the pain doesn't wake you. The third morning gives you the realization that you have figured out a new spell. That is the only way you can figure it. As you wake up, you find that you are nearly healed. That day you don't bother to adopt the disguise, and as the day passes, you are still weak, and you are pretty sure that it is your magic constantly draining to heal your body that is causing the weakness, not any specific injury.

Finally about mid day of the fourth day, you spot a growing speck on the horizon you are sure is the city you are traveling to. Not sure how people will react here in this smaller city, you adopt your human disguise, and head in. There are guards manning a wooden palisade around the length and one of them calls out to you as you approach. “Halt. Who are you and what brings you here?”
