Palette's POV
Okay Palette, this is your first time in an actual world with life! With people! You have to blend in! Go!
I run as quickly as I can from the portal I made, summoning away my paint roller. I get out of the forest and find a village. I gaze at it in awe. It was bright, colorful with life and people! People were there! I run into the village, pausing in the center of it to just take in the sights. The tall buildings, the colorful sky and grassy green ground. All the sounds of people talking or laughing all jumbled together with a breeze bringing the sweet smells of flowers or baked goods. I smile even wider.
I am never going back!
Some kids bump into me and I step back in surprise. They were all different kinds of monsters from snakes to dinos and bird-like kinds.
I can blend in with them!
"Hi! I'm Palette! What's your names?"I ask them
"We're going to school. Out of the way."One says
Such weird names! But I'm not one to judge!
I chuckle and follow them eagerly.
"Really? So am I! I think I'm new here!"I say
They shoot each other glances and shake their heads.
"Okay, nerd. If you love school so much you can come."Another says
Already got a nickname!
I happily skip along to the school and stop when they do.
"Now we just wait to go inside."They say
I glance up at the tall brick building with windows shining in the morning light. Windows were decorated with stickers or crafted papers into shapes and that only makes me even more eager to go inside.
Then I dark shadow cast over us as the other kids talked. They caught onto it and scattered, one pulling me aside.
"What's going on? Why did it get so dark?"I ask
"Raven came."They say
Ooo! I always wanted to see what those birds looked like!
I see a skeleton boy land with dark black wings like a raven's. He wore grey clothes and dark pants with shoes as well as a long black scarf with skeleton clip at the collar. His eye glows a bright red and blue from one eye. He marches through the crowd of kids with a girl covered in scales beside him.
"Of course Jess is with them. Snitch."One says
They start to whisper amongst themselves but go quiet under the gaze of those two. I feel my jaw hang open, amazed at how they had such an influence over the kids here. They all parted. I step forward curiously.
"Hey, I'm n-!"I begin, then feel something bump into me
I glance down and see a hedgehog bump into my foot while a black panther had its head in my side. They both back up and look at me.
"Ooo! You both look magnificent!"I say
The hedgehog squeaks at my compliment while the panther rolls its eyes.
"Out of the way, kid. We have kids to guard."The panther says
"Hey! Don't be so rude! This kid is actually nice!"The hedgehog says
"Yea, so were they. We're here to prevent that again, remember? Sorry kid but it's best you back up."The panther says
I smile and nod.
