You we're captured, try to take better care of your body next time. [[Try Again?]]]All you remember after landing is hearing a snapping, pop noise before your vision went white. You've never broken a bone before now, but the pain you are experiencing is unlike anything you've ever felt before. You let out a bloodcurdling scream, your throat becoming more sore by the minute. Any pursuer that did not know your whereabouts priors is sure to now, but you don't care.
