AURUM
DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !
[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]
The pounding currently going on in Aurum's skull was about comparable to someone beating repeatedly at a gong until it somehow broke, and it was unfortunately not anything new. More and more often as of late, the proxy had been getting headaches, some of which chose to steadily progress into migraine territory, where the world spun and even the faintest bit of light caused him to recoil in pain. This time the headache had come near instantly after he had woken up, born out of a night of restless sleep that was filled with nightmares about the past. He had tried to ignore it at first, moving down from his room and beginning to sort out the house, cleaning up leftover bits of food from when he brought stuff in for he and Roy, and putting away the many books littered around the various rooms. The whole time, his head steadily reminded him that hell very much did exist, and it was actually contained entirely within his brain. Every movement was slightly slow and hesitant, done carefully so that he didn't fall over at just the simple things. Unfortunately for Aurum, his luck didn't turn around, and by the time lunchtime rolled around, the headache had become a migraine, stubborn and throbbing.
However, Aurum was also just as stubborn, and he spent a moment steeling himself inside of his house, gritting his teeth and staring down at the floor, willing it to stop shaking and spinning. He had things he needed to do today, like going on a patrol and maybe even doing a training event with some of the younger members of the group. He couldn't afford something like this right now. So, after several moments of very strained sounding deep breathing, the lion forced himself up to his paws, his steps wobbling slightly as he pushed open the front door and stepped out onto the porch. He held a whole lot of determination within his heart, but determination wasn't going to be enough to help him, as demonstrated when he took one step down from his porch, and the world lurched violently around him. Before he knew it, the ground slipped out from beneath his hold, and he cursed loudly as he went face first down the short set of stairs, "FUCK!" Soon the lion found himself at the bottom of the stairs, clenching his head in his paws and groaning in agony. Now not only was his head killing him – even further thanks to his own yelling – but the rest of his body was aching as well.
