'Damn it...' Sean thought as he opened his eyes.
He looked around, trying to remember where he was.
'That's right, I am still at that building. But... what the hell happened to me?'
Sean tried to move his body, but to no avail. Not only was he in pain, but his limbs weren't responding well.
'My armor is entirely cramped. Many of my bones are broken. I can feel blood wetting my clothes from inside my armor.'
"Argh... Uhhn..." even speaking was hard for him. The only things that left his mouth were moans and growls.
The man needed some minutes to finally understand what had happened to him. Due to the brief trauma of the beating he got, Sean lost his memory of the past events for a short period.
'That huge alligator, huh? I couldn't face that thing, in the end. In order to not get killed during the beating, I needed to spend the last reserve of mana I had to protect my body. If not for that, I would be dead by now.
