Shiani's journal

Day 1

I woke up in an unfamiliar place with a sword at my side, two daggers, leather armour, a cylinder, a backpack, & a wooden staff. I had a pounding headache & as far as I could tell from that I had lost my memories.

I took a deep breath then jumped onto my feet and sniffed the area for hostiles. Then I realized that my face had elongated into a snout. My fur was silver with streaks of blue & pink. Strange, my nails were slightly darker & thicker, like claws.

The buildings around me looked like they had been part of a large building, possibly a church, that had fallen apart. On the ground was a large symbol made of concentric circles and lines. "Look well child for this is a teleportation circle, remember these symbols for they will lead back." I heard a voice say. I then sensed a presence in my mind, a being of incredible power and knowledge. Fenris was part of me, I was the wolf.

The symbol is cracked and where I stand there is a small depression in the ground. I realize that this is where people must appear when they arrive here. There was a ring of symbols that I see as words and phrases in an arcane language.

I heard a sudden movement & turned to see a figure drop down from a decrepit looking tower. He seemed to have leather armour, two short Suwingu on his back, a backpack, a longbow & arrows. An Elve I realized, then I noticed another scent & I looked at the person walking out of the tower.

She seemed to have leather armour, a longbow, arrows, and two long Suwingu crossed on her back, two Donin on her hips, and a backpack. An Avishi by the designs of her clothes but she had the scent of a dormant Evandar.

They had the scent of fear of them, but it wasn't too sharp thus they were wary not scared.

"Who are you!?" the Avishi demanded about at the same time as the Elve walked up with his hand outstretched as if he wanted to shake my hand & said, "Hello I'm William & the Avishi back there is."

"Sandera & hello." she walked forward a bit more and nodded at me then said "Who are you? We've never seen anyone who looks..." she waved her hand in my direction then said, "Like you."

I nodded then said, "I'm Shiani and before you ask, I'm an Elve just closer to the wild then most, I'm also gender fluid." I registered surprise in their faces then continued by asking, "Where exactly are we & what in the nine hells happened here?"

William shrugged and said, "As far as we can figure about 200 years ago a massive calamity struck this planet and, well the books say that the sun rose to the east, well now it rises to the west." Sandera then interjected saying, "a massive change like that would radically alter the face of a planet, flinging whatever was on it into space. If you were to look up you would see a thin, glittering line in the sky, that is where the debris went." I looked up and saw a thin band of glittering particles with small moons throughout. There also seemed to be strange, hidden patches of green. Stupid Spatial Fenris muttered.

I then looked back at them and asked, "where do you two live in this mess?" William smiled and said, "follow us and we'll show you." He then took off, following a road through the many shells of buildings.

Sandera and I took off after him, heading towards the borders of the city.

We flew for about three minutes which is impressive since the Suwingu can carry you about 20- 60 miles an hour. I estimate we had been going 30 miles an hour.

When we arrived, I beheld what looked like a ruin of a library. It had book designs all over the many scattered buildings for each genre of book.
