Pain mingled with dizziness as you slowly rose from the depths of
unconsciousness. You heard voices, but couldn’t make out any words
at first. It was all a confusing mixture of sounds and smells – like
fire and ash. Your head was still spinning as you opened your eyes
and tried to remember what happened. The last thing you saw was a
dark hole opening in mid-air right before you, that started pulling
you into it, as you desperately tried to stay on the ground, or hold
onto anything, with not much success.
With a grunt you lifted your head and the voices around you fell
silent. There were trees, bushes, so you were in a forest, and… At
first you thought you were dreaming, as your eyes felt on the
creatures above you. They seemed to be quite shocked, and all of them
took a step back when they noticed you were awake and trying to get
up. There was a tall creature with pointy ears and dark gray skin,
black hair and black eyes, a smaller one that resembled a goblin,
with a hooked nose. Two men that you could swear were dwarves, with
long, braided beards and in armors, and in front of them, with a book
in his hands, was the biggest of them – all muscles and green skin,
not to mention the impressive tusks.
They didn’t move as you tried to stand up on shaking legs.
“W-where am I…?” it was the only thing you could think of to
say.
