Darken Rahl - PG-13 - "Scars"; Rahl reflects on his new body

Rahl was rather pleased with Walter’s body. It was in reasonable condition, given the circumstances, though the hair needed some work. The wizard had healed the dacra cut so no trace of it remained, which he appreciated – after a fashion.

There was, however, an odd scar on Walter’s left upper thigh that Rahl thought (though couldn’t be certain) had not been there before. No matter, it was hidden under his clothes most of the time. He was alive, and that was what mattered, and this body was free from the scars inflicted on his own body during life.

It was just a pity the emotional scars on his soul couldn’t be so easily left behind.

Absolutly LOVE it. So... "lifeful".

"though the hair needed some work" - makes me smile, thanks.

"it was just a pity the emotional scars on his soul couldn’t be so easily left behind" - just great final sentence, thanks too.

I really liked this. We never heard Darken comment on his new body in the show, so nice fill-in.

I, too, loved the last line.
