Lightning. Everything always started with lightning for Erin. Even her own life.
Now, it seemed the lightning would send her off as well.

It was a storm worth remembering, at least. Ever since sunrise it had been raining cats and dogs- not literally, but it certainly seemed possible with how much rainwater was building up on the street outside the little bakery's front picture window. The script "Panadería Céleste" written in green on the window was easily seen against the mixed grays of the storm as Erin looked out at the streetlamps now flickering to life as the day came to a close. The store was closing too, though it had been empty all day anyway. No one wanted to brave the elements on a day like today for simple pastries they could just get later, once nature had run its course. She was glad no one had tried to, honestly. People die in weather like this.

Normally, Erin was the kind of person to warn people away from dangerous situations, though most didn't take her very seriously. Today though, it seemed like that had changed. Everyone she spoke to took her advice- and she'd even managed to convince her mother not to go out today. That morning as the woman was just about to leave, she just listened to Erin instead. [i][color=8dc73f]I guess wishes do come true...[/color][/i]

Erin was cleaning the front room, humming as she swept up the dust that had collected on the floor over the slow day. Or, at least she was until a crash of thunder and a whispering voice broke her happy tune. [color=007236]"[sub][sup]TemIdMehEn TemOrr CenOrrMehEn TemOrr WehOrrNoDiEnRinLaAmNoDi...[/sup][/sub]"[/color] The words were nonsense. She closed her eyes for a moment as they came back, repeating themselves as she tried to decipher their meaning. It took her a while to realize that she didn't really recognize this voice. [color=007236]"[sub][sup]CenOrrMehEn... CenOrrMehEn TemOrr WehOrrNoDiEnRinLaAmNoDi WehIdTemHa MehEn...[/sup][/sub]"[/color] 

After a while the sound of the rain and the thundering outside faded away, and all she could hear was the quiet voice in her mind, until that too stopped. Confused, she opened her eyes again, only to find she was not where she’d ought to be. 

[hr]
Pale sunlight filtered through cracked and broken windows, only to land on an old stone floor riddled with holes where moss and other plant-life forced themselves to the surface. Suits of armor and strange creatures lined the walls of the room, while those around Erin seemed to be human. They all looked confused, some hurt, others terrified or angered. There was much chatter, from both the group and the monsters surrounding them- none of which Erin understood. Snippets of english phrases would catch her attention, but the native speakers of the tongue went too quickly for her to make much of it. A few tried to speak to her, but she brushed them away easily. [color=8dc73f]"No comprendo nada que está haciendo. I don't understand you."[/color]

For at least an hour this went on. Luckily, her voices came back before too long. The silence had been more worrying to her than anything. Moving forward, they would help her think through all of this, though they didn't seem to know what was going on here either, so they weren't much help yet. More people appeared, and the cycle of confusion continued as each new person tried to figure out the same things the rest of them still didn't know: "Why are we here?" or "Where even [i]is[/i] here?" People kept trying to talk to her, and she kept saying the same thing. Eventually, she moved to go sit in one of the corners of the room, whe hopefully she wouldn't be bothered so much.

[i]"Welcome to my collection, mortals."[/i]

Words. Words she couldn't understand but felt like she should have. Words said by a thing which bowed to the group of confused humanity before another thing began talking. Erin recognized the words "Pretty", "Husband", and "Queen". What was going on?. The man which spoke to them first spoke more, interrupted a couple times by the one sitting on the throne. It seemed that whatever speech he gave was meant to be taken as an order by the group, because as soon after the words stopped people began walking to one side of the room or the other. Erin didn't move. She had no idea why she would need to. This was a nice corner.

As Erin sat there, things started to get interesting. A fox with nine tails appeared, and turned into a man with nine tails. Not too much later a giant wolf appeared, and turned into a giant man. By the time the next man appeared, she expected him to turn into a little bird or something, just to throw them all off.
[i][color=a2d39c]"Ne~ That would be the thing to do, wouldn't it?"
"They want you to be confused. Just watch the Fox-man."
"Chi! He's pulling people around? What, did they choose the wrong side of the room?"[/color]
[color=8dc73f]Just.. leave the other people alone.[/color]
[color=a2d39c]"Ne~ This place is dangerous, isn't it?"
"Chi! We should go."
"You should leave, like right now."[/color]
[color=8dc73f]I can't. I don't want them to try and talk to me. we wouldn't understand each other.[/color]
[color=a2d39c]"Ne~ They really wouldn't understand Spanish?"
"You could try speaking English."
"Chi! Which one would we even talk to?"[/color][/i]
Well, considering that people were running around and leaving, there weren't many left there that she really could try to speak to. The wolf-man didn't seem too busy at the moment. Erin stood and sighed, stretching for a second before beginning to walk towards the man. [color=8dc73f]"¿Hola?"[/color] She spoke quietly at first, wondering if he'd noticed her yet. Once she was near him she stopped walking, keeping a respectful distance. [color=8dc73f]"Perdóname."[/color]

[color=8dc73f]"¿Podrías ayudarme, por favor? Dime qué está pasando. ¿Por qué un lobo? ¿Por qué nos movemos en grupos? ¿por qué ese es un zorro? ¿Por qué es todo esto suceda?[/color] Her tone was as calm as she could make it. She spoke clearly in spanish and then tried to translate for herself in English. [color=8dc73f]"Help me please? I don't understand anything... You, him, this all. Tell me please. No entiendo nada."[/color]

[hider= Spanish translations ]
I understand none of what is happening.
Hello?
Excuse me.
please could you help me?
Tell me what's going on. Why a wolf? Why are we moving into groups? why is that one a fox? Why is any of this happening? 
I don't understand at all.
