Tales of Irna

Chapter 1: Wisdom is like a tree

Morning light shined as 24-year-old Celine O'Conner from Glasgow woke up from her slumber, she groaned and went back to sleep the sound of the alarm clock bells wouldn't let her and she stopped. Her green eyes open and she brushes some of her brown here off her face as she yawns. She gets up and grabs some clothes from her closet and walks to the shower.

After a long shower, she brushes her teeth and puts on a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. She rushes down the stairs to grab a croissant from the kitchen and eats it on the way to the front door as she sees her new home.

She opens the door and walks outside to a world of amazement as it is a kingdom that is merged with a large forest. The kingdom of Faewada, one of the main kingdoms of the world of Irna, focuses on forest and plant life as it is filled with nature spirits and creatures such as elves, fairies, and many others. Some other creatures such as Kappas in the ponds, canine kobolds, and harpies soaring the skies above the trees.

Celine smiles at her new home, she looks at her house from the outside and sees her house is merged with a large tree. Like is free is growing with the house. She smiles and walks around her new home; it's been one week since she arrived at Irna. Originally, she was from Glasgow, but she had bad luck with jobs and several eviction notices. That is until one day she was playing a fantasy RPG game on her laptop and suddenly she was transported to the world of Irna and fell from the sky and rescued in the Nick of time from impact. While the more obvious choice was to return home, she found it interesting that she could live a new life here and it was because of her new friends and mentors who lived in the Faewada royal palace.

After passing through the market streets and saying hello to a few civilians along the way she reaches the royal palace of Faewada, its peach-colored granite walls shined as several trees and plant life grow from the castle walls and rooftop. She gets so excited because she is ready to go on an epic quest with his new friends and mentors, so she starts to ring the doorbell and it rings loudly like it's a church bell. She waits patiently for about a minute, and she rings again.

She pouts and sighs as she is told this would happen. Luckily, she knows what to do, she grabs a random rock from the ground and throws it through a 2nd-floor window. She waits patiently for what will happen.

"CELINE!" The voice of her mentor Alexander no Mae Baker is heard and out the window, he pops an anthropomorphic blue fox head, his hair is long and tied to a ponytail, and his clothing consists of a navy-blue coat, a red vest, a white shirt, and black dress pants. "Why must you and everyone in Irna throw rocks in my office window?" He exclaimed with both an annoyed and crossed due to this routine happening to him too much.

"Don't blame me this routine happens to you. Your wife told me that to get your attention from being in your little world I should throw a rock" Celine commented back at him with a smirk on her face. "Mind letting me in?"

Alex sighs and groans since cannot argue with anything from his wife, and he tries but even a fox like him can't trick his way out of everything. "Ugh, fine come in." He waves his hand, and the door unlocks with a clicking sound from the lock. Celine nods in thanks and walks into the palace.

Inside the royal Faewada palace is decorated with lovely floral designs and patterns. Roses, tulips, and orchids are decorated on flowerpots in the halls. There are paintings depicting several elven and fae kings and queens each and the former king and queen, Fae Queen Titania, and Elf King Oberon with three beautiful elf children. Celine hears footsteps coming from the main staircase and sees Alex in his entirety and reveals what type of fox he is, and he reveals his nine tails to intimidate her. He is one of the 9 royal kitsune puppies born from the queens Tamamizu and Tamamo no Mae, and he is annoyed with that stupid window.
