Solranous landed with a loud clang on the roof of his patched up house, with Reizus on his shoulder. He jumped to the ground and hurried inside, wasting no time in bandaging the warrior's wounds.
In half an hour, Solranous had Rezuis resting on a sofa he had repaired from the junkyard. It was clearly old, but it was still comfortable to lay on. All he could do now was wait for him to awaken.

Reizus awoke with a start. He was sweating profusely, and he realized his armor was off. he glanced around, trying to see hwere he was. It appeared to be an abandoned warehouse, yet furnished with random furniture.
He went to scratch his head, then abruptly stopped. He slowly glanced at his hand, then screamed again, for it was covered in almost-black scales, and where his five fingers should have been, there were three large claws.
"W-what the hell? What happened to me?" He asked himself in a stupor.

Solranous snapped to attention when Reizus screamed. However, when he looked at the dragon-like hand, his heart almost stopped.
"Genetic manipulation? How? Could it really be that?" he whispered. Standing up he addressed the warrior as he levitated his armor next to him.
"I had to remove the armor you wore to treat the wounds you had sustained in the battle against that strange hedgehog...
As for your hand... I don't have an exact answer, but I believe that genetics are involved, even though that's the first time I noticed your hand like that. Your nightmare may be a bit of your past you try not to remember, an explanation you do not want to believe." Solranous stated, still staring intently at the dragon-like hand that replaced his human one.

Reizus blinked, wide-eyed.
"Uh, thanks." He stated, grabbing the armor as he began putting it on.
He clenched the deformed hand, and it reacted the way he anticipated. He scratched the hand absent-mindedly, then glanced back at the dragon, who was still staring at it.
"Um, thanks again." He stated, then started to walk off.

"Have somewhere to go? Somewhere important? Or are you a wanderer, Reizus?" Solranous asked, projecting his thoughts into the warrior's, Reizus was his name as he learned, mind. If this man had nowhere to live, he would happily open up his door for him to stay.

Reizus intook a sharp breath, then glanced at the hand. he looked back at Solranous, then sighed.
"I just can't be around people. It's not a personal problem. It's..."
He clenched the claw, then continued,
"It's for other's safety."
He glanced outside, searching the sky for a moon. Luckily, it was only a crescent tonight. He exhaled, then turned back to Solranous.

"You are afraid of hurting people without intending to, to lose control." It wasn't a question. "You do not have to worry about my sake, I have been through much more then your 'berserked' state could ever do to me. If it happened with me around, I can put you to sleep and keep you asleep until you revert from it." Solranous explained, still projecting his own thoughts. "I am more then willing to take the risk."

He glanced from side to side, then back at the hand. It twitched, and that worried Reizus a bit. However, he bit his lip and turned back to Solranous.
"I still don't know what this 'change' is about, but I guess I can try. I'm Reizus." He stated, extending his hand.

"As I already found out, but I am Solranous. I make my home here, and fix it with whatever I find. I've been living alone for as long as I remember." Solranous introduced himself as he shook Reizus' hand. "And if you haven't figured it out already, I am telepathic."

Reizus nodded in response, then withdrew his hand. He stared at the deformed hand and scowled in confusion.
"I wish I knew what this damn thing was about." He muttered.
((Now what?))
