How did We get Here? A Otherworldly Saga

Start of Journey

The wind is breezing, some of the birds are singing in a branch of a tree atop of a cliff, a forest above the cliff residing and there is a one boy is also residing, sleeping.

"...ahh.. hmm... No sister, I don't have a training today... huh... Wait a second!"

He wake up, his body hastily get up and look around, he remembers all the event happened. He recoils, he remembers that a man with a scary eyes and expression went dashing to him that make him fall unconscious.

"H-huh is he still here!? Verde! I summon you!"

A green thread slowly crept out on the pocket of his left hand, enveloping his entire radius, he picked up that he is not in his original place when he fell down, someone pick him up to move him.

The thread puff bigger and it turn into a green tentacle that make it more of a threat than a thin thread.

"Where did they go! And the hatchling! I must tell sister about this!" He remarked, but while he shouted, a undetected eyes is peering unto him.

BUSH ABOVE THE CLIFF

In a bush they hide, Chris and Crystal are looking to the boy who just wake up. They immediately run unto the nearest bush when they realise that he will going to wake at anytime, there is another choice to bind the child and interrogate him on how this world works and why he have a tentacle-like being in his pocket, but that would be just cruel for a child and they don't want any bad taste on their mouths.

"Ohh... That's how those thing work, it looks like sentient but he is still in control."

There's a soft mumbling in the bush and the child can't heard it for he is running into the forest, going home to tell something to someone.

"That kid went into the forest Chris." Crystal said.

"Yes, I just see that." He replied

"Well... Can we go out in the bush it's a little bit itchy here..." Scratching his legs and arm, Crystal is a irritated by the leaves swaying into her skin, making her to scratch it. They went out from the bush, good thing the child didn't see the axe handle that he Chris disassembled earlier, the axe handle or perhaps it was now a staff, slip into his hand while they run unto the bush.

Swiftly they go, the slope where Crystal find a abandoned building and a way below, that is way might be the nearest way down below into the plain of meadow and even more forest.

"It would be cool if we know what the hell is our power, or did we really have a power." He said, he is still annoyed and confused on why the girl didn't tell any details on what power they got. Of course in the books he read on his spare time, there was a story on where a protagonist transported in a fantasy world and mostly the protagonist have a unfathomable power that make there life easier, this is also the one on why Chris is not so shock when he died.

"Come on Chris, let's just find a city or a village first, I am bit... Umm... hungry" She declared, with all the running and stress she went through, her appetite on eating food went skyrocketed. At her pre-adult year, her life is all about cooking and baking, she cook and eat all the food she experimented on, and because of that routine, she quite fond of eating food yet her physique is still in a usual form.

"Well... Okay, I am also hungry, so how about we follow that path." He pointed, there was a path below the slope, it might be a path going to nearest civilization.

"You are the boss~"

And they go, into the path of their first journey.

STONE PATH

(The following will be POV of Christoper Anne)

I am walking in a path lead to unknown, Crystal is at my rear, walking slower than me, it might be because she is anxious or her stamina is to low because she is hungry.

We are threading on a old stone path that probably made artificially by someone, the path look so very old but it have a fresh mark by a horse which is a good sign to that this road may lead to society.

I still have the axe handle I salvage earlier, the axe is so unusuable due oxidation in other word, it's rusty.

"Hey, would you look at that." I say, I spotted a group of people straight ahead, they have a open horse carriage with a few people riding. There are also armed people with sword and leather gear walking to protect the carriage that typically you see in a fantasy world, wait I forgot... this is a fantasy world.

Crystal quickly go unto my side, grabbed my cloth on my back, she is gets flustered when she meet new people but her shyness will be gone if she know that person actually good.

The caravan stop right in front of us and a well dress man with a thin beard walking slowly unto us, his well groomed hair really put me on shame when I noticed it, he also have a a very fancy sword right on his hilt.

"_________________________________________________?"

"...Excuse me what?"

What did he just say? The man talk in gibberish but yet so well mannered, he talk so very differently that I cannot know what did he says. I already know that this world is different and doesn't have the same language like Earth.

"__________?"

The man talk back to me with gibberish again, I don't really know how to respond, I was frozen and unsure what to do.

"Chris, what are you doing? He ask where are we came from..." Crystal said, what!? She can understand him!?

"Uh-uhhh you can understand him? Can you tell what he is saying?" I was screaming at this moment if I don't have the control, but thanks mom... You really teach me well.

"Sure... He said and his second sentence is "

Alright we have something to get work we got this. Let's just focus what to say, this would be bad if we act suspicious so let's just be honest.

I tell Crystal on what she is going to say, she is literally the ladder of this language barrier.

"Mister..." She softly say.

"So can speak Ascheim Universal Language" The man proudly says.

"Y-yes mister, we were forsaken by my master and she just disappeared in thin air, we don't know where we are and my... Friend cannot speak the general language on this continent.... Can you please help us?" Crystal weakly says, It was all the truth, everything that Crystal say is correct.

We are forsaken, yeah that's a check!

She disappeared in a thin air, that's check!

We don't know where we are, check!

I can't speak their language, another check!

And we need help, not really but check!

...I just need a rest and food man... I am so stressed.

The gentleman think and looks at us very carefully which make crystal even more anxious but still, she is really trying to not be scared by the gentleman.

"Hmmm... We do have a spare seat on the carriage I rent, we will going to the village called Runian, care to join with us?"

The message has past to me and looks like this guy is actually nice! I mean, I can just beat them up if they are not, but not sure if I can do it though.

Looks like Crystal accept the offer, I can see it in her eye that she trust the guy, but not too much.

I followed back the offer to Crystal, and the man escort us to his carriage, tells his guard that we are a new people to be protected by them, they accept it.

I wasn't not focus on the other people inside the carriage, but now we are at their side, I never thought that they are have scepter, staff and wand--- They are Mages!
