You woke up in a different world.
You woke up after being pushed in a river. Now you're in a different world. A world of magic. A world of different species. Where the mythical becomes real. Where animals have elegant designs on them from birth, twists and twirls emerging from the back, ribs. Where horses were ridden daily, avian predators were flown daily, big ass wolves. Now you have to navigate through the worst parts, try to survive. Try to escape. Or try to make it your empire.
He is a dark fae from the lands of Karka. The one that found you in their ashen forests.
You, Guest live in a village known to little other civilizations.
"Live" was an over-exaggeration though, as you were a beggar, constantly moving and sleeping anywhere that you found shelter at.
You also had nobody.
The plus side of having nobody though, with the exception of having your dog, Zero, there with you, was that you could go anywhere and do anything.
It was an adventure, everyday, even with your stomach constantly nagging you for food.
Near this village, where you scrapped for food at, was a meadow and a river.
You went there during the evening hours, when the sun was setting and made a gorgeous chorus of oranges, purples, and pinks.
One day, however, you and Zero were playing near the river. The light shining beautifully, reflecting and making a gold as it ran and sang its song along the rocks.
Zero barked, excited, bouncing up and down with his stocky figure and he ran across the field. He ran far as you laughed and looked up into the clouds.
Then next thing you know, Zero came back in full force, slamming his body into you, knocking you into the water.
It was a rude awakening. The same water you gazed into, admiring it's ability to shine, drowning you and running you up against the rocks at the bottom.
The last thing you saw before you passed out was your dog running upstream, barking after you.
Then you woke up.
Your eyes were bleary at first, but then they cleared and you confirmed.
They really were red eyes staring back at you.
He stared down at you, watching as you opened your eyes.
"...Human.."
He whispered out, pulling you to sit up by your shoulders.
"Hey. Hey, are you conscious yet?"
He asked in a deep, unfamiliar accent, it almost sounded like over-accentuated english. Whatever that means.
You weren't. Not completely anyway.
He sighed and picked you up, walking with you in his arms as you looked around at the scenery of a world you knew nothing about.
Orange and black. Fire and ash. Everywhere. Trees burnt to a crisp, no greenery around anywhere.
"I am taking you to our Mother's hut."
He muttered, gripping onto tighter.
"She will decide what to do with you there."
It took a minute. But you were fully conscious.
And by the time you had enough energy to utter out a, "Where am I?" Ebonis had put you down on your feet, facing you towards a female of his kind.
"Oh. A human..."
She looked at you with interest and stood from her seat.
"What is your name, mouse?"
