No matter where he looks he only sees darkness. He begins to worry that he's gone blind. 


He slowly recalls the events that happened before he passed out. He had just finished killing the wyvern, then.. The lizardmen came, they were acting weird and the injured he had seen somehow weren't injured anymore. Then, he noticed he was wounded, worse than when he was cut by the wyvern. Finally right before he went unconscious, the lizardmen had morphed into horrifying creatures. 


Scott wonders if it was his imagination. He could've conjured up those thoughts while sleeping or maybe he wanted to understand what was happening and ended up using something terrifying to enter his memory. 


Whatever the case, something isn't right. If there are actual giant two-legged wolves with antlers, then why were they there? And if it was just Scott's imagination, then what really happened?
