Slowly waking up, I hear the rustling of leaves and a cold breeze brushing against my skin. A warm, ray of sunlight shines over my face as I open my eyes to see trees so tall that I can't see where the top is.
"..Uugh..." I place my hand on my forehead as I sit up slowly. I feel like I just got off of the Gravitron amusement park ride.
As I recall, I was helping my gramps sweep the leaves in front of our house, and then I heard strange noises coming from the shed that contains our family's old well. I went to check inside to make sure our fat cat, Peanut, wasn't stuck inside again. I looked
The sounds of the animals are familiar, but there are some odd noises deep in the forest that I've never heard before.
The grass is soft and healthily green. I notice that under me is the only area glowing white, with the old well behind me and my bag next to me.
"Where...am I?" I say in a confused tone.
Suddenly I hear what sounds like horses running and metal clinking against metal. My heartbeat quickens as I immediately stand up to quickly hide behind a tree nearby.
"Kapd el!" An armored man on the black horse yells. He's the only one with gold on his armor. He looks like the one in charge.
"Igen Uram!" The other armored men on the other horses yell.
It seems like these people are soldiers? What's going on...
I notice the men on the horses are chasing after another man who looks terribly injured and is riding on an animal that looks like a tiger.
It looks quite similar to a tiger except its fur is black with circular lines that glow blue. Its eyes also shine a cool blue. What a strange animal.
Is this all a detailed dream?
They shoot arrows towards him and one of them pierces his back. Another arrow pierces his tiger in the side. The man and his tiger yell in pain as he falls off to the ground.
My body starts to shake from fear and confusion. Why is this man being attacked? Why are they speaking in a language I have never heard before? Who are these people?
The man in charge says "Rendben, férfiak, itt végeztünk. Visszamegyünk őfelségéhez, és elmondjuk, hogy végzett az Elder Forest."
Elder Forest?
The other men yells in reply "Igen Uram!"
It seems like the man in charge told them to leave as they went back the way they came after seeing the man and his tiger laying front-side on the ground motionless.
Thank goodness they didn't notice me...
After waiting for them to be gone, I cautiously move towards the man and his tiger.
Scanning over him, he has deep wounds in his back and arms. His tiger also has some wounds. They are both unconscious.
Even though I'm terrified of this situation, I still want to help. I have the feeling that I shouldn't leave them to die. A strange feeling that they are important, even though I've never seen them before.
Trying to think of how I can help them, I remembered I had my bag with me. I always kept an emergency first aid kit in there because my brother would always get hurt.
"Brother...gramps...Please be okay", I say to myself with a saddened tone.
I ran back to grab my bag and sat down next to the man.
The breeze runs through his hair gently, revealing his features. Looking at him closely, he is actually quite attractive.
Medium length hair as dark as night, surprisingly pretty eyelashes, medium thick, slightly arched eyebrows, a fit and light muscular physique, and sun kissed skin. Even though he has injuries on his face, I can tell his skin is smooth and without blemish. He also looks young, about my age.
I've never seen such a pretty man before.
My cheeks form a bright blush. I slap my face with both of my hands.
What am I doing? I shouldn't be admiring his looks right now!
