Most of their mundane surgeons have to give up before too long; their tools simply can't break his skin, and the magical healers are more efficient, on a being like him. One surgeon does, however, have a tool strong enough to damage him, and removes his mangled, stoned arm, before they invoke a number of Regeneration spells, to help him arm regrow, while others pump lesser healing spells into him, to restore his energy and repair him minor wounds, although it's like filling a water tower with a bucket, and all they truly accomplish is minor repairs to his body, without doing much true restoration.<br/><br/>The dreams came, different from before; the Nine-Tails last words ring through his dreams. Strange, twisted, haunting visions flash before his eyes, barely seen, almost indecipherable, assaulting his tired and weakened mind. Words seem to whisper behind Kyuubi's words, just at the barest edge of hearing; focusing on them even harder to hear. And, throughout it all, distantly, he feels Aviendha and Vorela, trying to contact him, worried about him, able to feel his pain.
