*A few hours after materialising back outside the Knightmare Battle Royale arena, on a bed in the Wolf's Howl Inn, Young Grimwold wakes. He opens his eyes - both of them, uninjured - and swings his gaze around the room. The room is familiar - in fact, it happens to be the very one in which he fell asleep after hearing the storytellings by Brother Strange, Tom Troughton et al [OOC: The thread entitled 'An Undying Tale'] - and yet YG is confused (more so than usual). Realising he is alone, and for once, feeling a little unsettled by this, he thinks aloud.*
I didn't die. I'm not dead. The others must be alive too, somewhere. But then what was the point of all that fighting and...?
*YG struggles to remember more of the battle, and how it ended; but he has gaps in his memory. He hopes that what he has forgotten will gradually come back to him, like recalling a dream.*
Maybe I never left the bed; maybe I dreamt the whole thing? But that would make me such a cliché. Now where's my club?
*YG gets off the bed, and searching the room, finds his club and a few other belongings. Heading downstairs, he deposits some coins to cover any extra nights he stayed at the Inn. As he takes in the partially renovated surroundings, he notices a half-full glass and a half-open door. Then he dashes out into Wolfenden, optimistic of finding out more about the other Battle Royale combatants at some point, and hungry for his next meal and adventure.*
