Charlie reached the valley just in time for sunset, and he had just enough sunlight to find a small village. He noticed that there was quite a few fireflies out. He watched as a villager entered his house, and other villagers walking across small bridges in the water.
"Excuse me?" He asked, tapping an old man's shoulder. The old man turned to look down at him with a sweet smile. "How may I help you, little sir?" "Well... 'Where am I' is a start," he said. The man chuckled. "You're in the Firefly Forest, son. Are you lost?" Charlie shrugged, "Realistically, I don't even know how I got here. Not in...Firefly Forest.. Just..here." The old man looked just as confused as Charlie. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Well, for starters, I don't know what all exists in this world. I'm from this place called Earth, and I just woke up here, and now-" The man gasped, interrupting Charlie. "Wait wha-" The elder bowed down at Charlie's feet. "Your highness!" Charlie looked around, actually quite embarrassed. "Ok, ok. Get up," Charlie told him. He got up and looked nervous, as if Charlie would ask him for a difficult task. "Why the heck did you just bow to me??" "You don't know??" The man asked, his eyes widening. Charlie shook his head, and the man took Charlie's hand and led him to his house.
