Expansion 14 - The Forest

-Aventurine's POV-

It wasn't my decision, alright? It wasn't my fault I'm in some other world now. When I entered the portal, it seemed to have taken me to some other world or some crap. Definitely not alternate, since everything seemed to be different.

Trees seemed a lot more lush as from where I was standing. Light seemed not as dim as it was on my world. As I set foot onto the ground, I look back as the aura from the portal disappeared.

Great. Lost. Here. New world.

What could possibly go wrong?

Seemed as the more steps I took the more I began to forget about my other world, but not like I cared since the other one was crap. That's really just the bottom line. I don't want to go more in depth than I already am. That's for another story.

But basically I'm just in some random wooded area, a forest of a new life. Now, I seemed deep within the forest as my memories from my other world got lost due to this one. Fun.

Through the countless trees and shrubs, I continued my way. I look to my hand and notice a bow in one and an arrow in the other. A quiver seemed to be sleeping on my back like some sloth.

I hold the bow and put the arrow within the string, pulling it back. Huh, it's like riding a bike! May have lost my memory but damn, still had this bad boy.

I let go of the string as the arrow comes right out and hits a tree. Wow I must have been a pro with this. Looking to my right, I notice someone running.

"A man..." I spoke to myself, obvious that the person was male. I go and yank the arrow from the tree and began to lay low within the woods, not wanting to be noticed by the others.

The man seemed to be getting chased by a horde of zombies. No wait scratch that- Just some regular gems chasing another. Funny, I thought to myself.

Then I realized I should probably help this man, since, well, no one really likes to be chased in the middle of the day, right?

I reel the string, placing the arrow inside. The arrow goes right out and shoots one of the men off the horses. Oh I forgot to say that the men were on horses, although these horses didn't seem like one I (barely) remember from my world. The horse seemed to be from some other world, made out of crystals and glass-like material.

The man plops right off and sits on the ground, confused. I hear the man in the front cry out, "Halt!"

This was when I hid myself lower into the bushes and shrubs. There were about five men, excluding the one that managed to run away thanks to me.

I peaked through a hole and noticed as all of them were searching around for who had attacked one of their men. Whoops, now I am wanted.

They all took their swords out. "Someone seems to be on our tails..." spoke one of the men.

The leader looked behind himself to the others. "The prisoner has escaped. We shall go back to the estate and alert him." They all got on their crystal horses and scurried off. Dammit I was kind of hoping for a fight. Before getting my hopes down, I look back and behind me as the prisoner that was getting chased was standing, looking down upon me.

"Well how lovely the sun is today-" Before I could finish my sentence, he pulled out a rock and hit me.

I woke up, lights no longer dim as my sight saw everything clear now. Oh how fast things could change. I notice as now, I seem to be in some type of a hole. There was an entrance, a window, and living space along with a couch, chair, and kitchen.
