The eyelids covering the teal pupils opened with difficulty, no doubt due to the enormous fatigue the owner felt. Except that the scenery he discovered was in no way his bedroom.
....
....
....Huh?
What? What was happening? Where was he? What was this place?
The young boy straightened up slowly, sitting down, then began to observe his surroundings.
....Dark. Darker, yet darker.
....It was strange. He had the unpleasant impression of having already visited this place. But he couldn't say when.
....
-...Eh....
...? A voice? Who?
- Hey... Can you hear me?
...This voice. He didn't recognize it. It was more high-pitched and younger than usual, very different from the usual woman's.
-...I can...?
He heard a startled gasp, followed closely by an exclamation of joy.
- Yeah! Finally, I was able to contact you! Don't move, I'll join you!
Despite his confusion, Kellyn obeyed. It wasn't like he really had a choice anyway. He didn't know where he was, and it was far too dark for him to find his way!
Quickly, a noise caught his attention: resonance. Not like the sound of footsteps in a large and spacious room, but more like a cave made of pure crystal. Deep, mysterious and soothing at the same time.
As the sound got closer, the brunet tensed, ready to attack at the slightest sign of threat. Finally, the origin showed itself.
- Haha! Found you!
....
....An origami? Did he finally go mad?
- You don't look hurt... Phew! I was scared for a moment!
Oh no, he wasn't dreaming. This origami talked and moved. Well...Maybe he was dreaming.
- Hey...Are you okay? You are very quiet...Do you feel any pain?
The creature had quickly approached the boy, before getting on it's hind legs and resting one of it's paws on his forehead, looking genuinely worried.
- Hmm....You have a warm forehead...But less than before. It's a good start!
The origami heaved a long sigh of relief, further puzzling the young Ranger. He then asked in a small voice:
- H-Hum...Who are you?
- Oh! Please forgive me my dear! Looks like I forgot my manners!
The being cleared it's throat, probably more for style than anything else, then put it's paw on it's chest.
- I am the Origami Eevee ! But, you can call me Ori. It's a pleasure to meet you!
Ori stretched out his paw, a big smile on his lips, not seeming to be particularly aware of the state of confusion of his interlocutor. Said interlocutor who reluctantly shook the handful of legs/hands(?) offered.
-...Kellyn Gungnir...? Nice to meet you...?
The paper Eevee seemed to wince at his name, except that this state disappeared so quickly that the brunet thought he had hallucinated.
-....Hum, do you know where we are?
- U-Uh, no?
As the boy remained confused, the origami sighed softly, looking...Relieved?
