~[@The Irish Tree] (NEP)~ [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"...I don't know who the two on this tunic are. However, I have a fair guess. The strange magical tools you've been seen to have, the odd music sung by no bards, and the garments that are foreign to all lands that I've read about. So that's it, then, I'm guessing. That you come not from a foreign country or hamlet, but from a realm entirely different. I read a book about this once...of a hero that comes from another world to prevent a great calamity. Tell me Neil, how did you get here?"[/b][/color][/quote] "Heh..." Neil snickered. "Hehehe... Hahahahahahaha!" He laughed heartily. You get the feeling you were just duped. Fortunately, that did not seem to be the case. "So you have stuff like that here, too? Books about otherworldly heroes, I mean." "Sorry to disappoint you though, Neph, but I'm no hero. I don't have any special ability or cool power to help people, much less prevent a great calamity." Neil continued. "I don't even have the basic qualities of a hero. Like being brave and selfless and stuff." "As for your question..." Neil sighed. "I... I really don't have any idea." He began. "Just... it was just another summer day, you know? School ended a week ago and I was in the middle of enjoying the Spring break. Hung out with friends that day. Pizza for lunch then some Mexican stuff for dinner." His eyes were closed and a smile on his face. "After all that, I was going to be in for some Counter Strike. Gonna play til' midnight." "But... I fell asleep on the bus home. Err, a bus is some... a kind of vehicle by the way." Neil continued. "Next thing I knew, I was in this... beautiful meadow in a hill." He chuckled. "First I thought I was in some... cool dream or something." But then his face soured. "But it was no dream. I wasn't waking up. The realization began sinking in... Jeez, it's like... it's like being trapped and-and... like drowning. I think I was having a panic attack or a mental breakdown. Maybe both." "But survival instincts kicked in before I lost it completely. I surveyed the situation I was in." Neil sighed again. "Soon, I figured out where I was. Got lucky. Some gambles paid off. Then, I've gotten myself some local clothes and a case to put my stuff in. Then... well, all this." [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b] "...I'd be happy to be your confidant. I can't imagine this would be easy to discuss with anyone. So...tell me all that you wish. I won't be going anywhere too far today while I recover."[/b][/color][/quote] "Thanks for the offer, Neph but I'd rather you be something else." Neil replied. "A helper to be more specific." "I was sent here somehow. There's gotta be a way for me to get back." Neil declared. "If you can and have time, Neph, can you do a little snooping around regarding my situation? You know, magical interdimensional stuff." He requested. "Bast and Rebecca look like they know a thing or two about magic. I'm going to talk to them about this. Maybe the others too." "Well then, I guess that's enough talking for now since we've got a plan now. Thanks again, Neph." Neil said. "While I prefer for this to be a secret, you can blab it out to anyone as much as you'd like. I have a feeling we're gonna need every help we can get with this." "Right now, I'm going to go with Talia and Magnus to see this flying machine. Back where I come from, we've got all sorts of these things." Neil then asked. "What about you, Neph? You said you're going to recover so you'll stay here?" [hr] ~[@The Irish Tree] (MAG)~ [quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"Talia? A-Are you up? We don't have to travel today if your shoulder still hurts...O-Or I can carry you there."[/b][/color] [/quote] The door opened to reveal Talia the Cyclops, looking worse for wear though. Her eyes were droopy and she looked like she could barely stand up. "[color=lavender]Hey Magnus.[/color]" Talia greeted you with a smile. "[color=lavender]I'm up but I don't think I can travel today. Looks like I've come down with a fever or something.[/color]" "[color=lavender]You should go ahead and take the flowers, Magnus. Kyle's waited long enough.[/color]" Talia said. "[color=lavender]Maybe invite some people to see Kyle's invention come to fruition? I bet it's going to be quite the spectacle.[/color]" The Cyclops suggested with a smile. "[color=lavender]Just tell me all about it when you get back, alright? I wanna know every single detail.[/color]" She requested. "[color=lavender]I wish there's some way to capture it all. Like a painting or something.[/color]" "[color=lavender]I wish that Arletta girl stayed around for this.[/color]" Talia added. "[color=lavender]Would've blown her head off her body.

"[color=f26522]Long story short, some hitmen came last night targeting me. You see, while I was shopping for supplies in Ambran with a friend, said friend found out we were being scammed.
