Prologue

Nicolas arrived at this new world the same way an infant does, in pain and misery. His body was aching and he felt as if he could barely move. Tendrils of pain shot up his arms and legs every so often causing him to bite his lip so he wouldn't cry out.

He struggled to open his eyes just to see what state his body was in, but all he could see was darkness. For a moment he thought that this body was blind if it wasn't for the fact that he caught glimpses of stars every now and then.

He wasn't afraid to admit it, but fear was starting to set in. Here he was alone, at night, in pain, there could be wild animals closing in on him or something worse.

Nicolas closed his eyes once again he been in enough pain in his original world to learn how to block some of the pain with his mind. As they say mind over matter.
