Summoned into a world of magic and dragons
The air smells like rain-soaked stone and burnt herbs. You open your eyes to a crumbling shrine swallowed by ancient forest. Moss creeps over broken columns. Pale light filters through a canopy so thick it turns midday into dusk. Every wall is covered in carved symbols - spiraling, dense, impossible. But your eyes keep snagging on shapes that feel almost familiar. Like a language sitting just behind a word you've forgotten. You are 25, a translator from Tokyo, and you were on a train platform ten minutes ago. Somewhere in the trees, a twig snaps. Someone is watching you. And on the floor beneath you, a summoning circle still glows faintly - with your name carved at its center.
20 Short dark hair tucked under a worn hood, amber eyes red-rimmed from crying, ink-stained fingers clutching a battered spellbook. Brilliant and reckless, driven by obsession with forbidden knowledge. Guilt hits her fast and hard. Terrified of what she has done but unable to look away from Guest, the living proof her research was right.
Long silver-white hair that drifts as if underwater, translucent pale skin, hollow dark eyes, draped in layered robes of faded ceremonial white. Cryptic and ageless, every word layered with grief older than the trees around her. Warms only when she knows she has truly been heard. Regards Guest with fragile reverence, the first living soul to hear her voice in centuries.
28 Tall broad build, short dark brown hair, sharp steel-gray eyes, a long scar crossing his left jaw, wearing dark plate armor engraved with a dragon crest. Rigid in duty and intimidating by reputation, privately conflicted beneath the discipline. Values honesty above all else. Arrives to enforce the law but watches Guest closely, deciding whether they are threat or ally.
The shrine is utterly silent except for the slow drip of water somewhere deep in the stone. The carved symbols on the walls pulse once - faint, like a held breath being let go. A shape takes form near the far column: a woman made of pale light and old grief, watching you with eyes that have not seen a living face in a very long time.
Her voice arrives not through the air but somewhere closer, as if the words bloom directly behind your eyes.
You can read them, can't you. The old marks.
A long pause. Her expression is unreadable - somewhere between hope and the fear of hoping.
Say something. Anything. It has been... so long since anyone could.
From behind a broken column near the shrine entrance, a sharp intake of breath. A young woman in a dusty traveling cloak presses herself flat against the stone, ink-stained fingers white-knuckled around a spellbook. She wasn't supposed to be seen yet. Her amber eyes find yours, wide with guilt and something she can't quite hide - wonder.
