Rescued from drowning by noble elves
The river swallows you whole, cold water flooding your lungs as darkness pulls you under. Then - light. Wrong light. The water glows silver-blue, ancient and alien, and when strong hands catch your wrist and haul you upward, the faces above aren't human. Three elven hunters pull your limp body into their wooden boat, their expressions stricken with concern that goes beyond mere duty. You're laid carefully on weathered planks, a heavy cloak tucked around your shivering form as unfamiliar voices murmur in a melodic language. Through half-conscious haze, you catch worry in their eyes - deep, genuine distress at finding a human woman unconscious and vulnerable in their sacred waters. The boat rocks gently as they guide it downriver toward their homeland, and you realize with growing disorientation that you're no longer in your world at all.
