[color=FFBF00]Location:[/color] In the woods of the peninsula west of Sun Elf Village. [color=FFBF00]Interactions:[/color] [@Potter] - Corvina, [@Tae] - Kenia, [@princess] - Malachi. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JKIQFrA.png[/img] [hr][hr] [indent] [i][color=#778899]Rei's back was slumped against a wall, he wiped his bloodied lips with the sleeve of his shirt. A figure stood towered him, with Rei's laptop in their grip. "Do you think just because you 'paid' for this laptop means you can use it for whatever the hell you want?!" the figure screamed at him, "You're in MY house, under MY household, NOTHING belongs to you, got it?" Rei stared blankly at his mother's enraged face, his expression not shifting an inch. His non-reaction just proved to incense her more than normal, not that it mattered. No matter what Rei did in that situation, his mother would just get angrier. "Do you think you would disgrace me and your father by becoming a programmer!?" His mother pressed him further, "NO, you WILL follow the path we've given you. Do I make myself CLEAR?" A few moments passed before Rei nodded. He figured to just get it over with, since there was little point to escalate it further. His mother flung his laptop to the wall beside Rei's face, breaking into two pieces. [b]"回答!"[/b] His mother screamed, her voice even higher than before. [color=FFBF00]"Yes... Mother."[/color] Rei said, already beginning to clean what was left of his laptop. "Good." His mother had calmed down, seeming satisfied with Rei's subservience. "Clean all this shit up." She turned to leave, "We have to make sure you don't have to end up like your disgrace of a brother." Rei's hands balled into a fist but he did nothing... ................... .............. .........[/color][/i] [/indent] [hr] Rei's eyes opened to the walls of the cave, he was momentarily lost before remembering all that occurred yesterday [i][color=FFBF00]From one nightmare to another, huh.[/color][/i] he thought, [i][color=FFBF00]I haven't had that dream in awhile.[/color][/i] The dream left a sour taste in his mouth. Rei folded the blanket he found on top of him, folded it and placed it on the cave floor. He rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes before a loud, booming voice echoed pierced his skull, he snapped around the cave to look for the source of the sound but found no one but a still asleep Corvina. [i][color=FFBF00]What the hell is this, telepathy or something?[/color][/i] Rei caught sight of Kenia and Malachi at the mouth of the cave, looking up the at sky. He figured doing the same was prudent. There was a large, skeletal figure draped in robes with an ominous aura about him. [color=FFBF00]"Skeletor, really?[/color] Rei spat out unconsciously. The skeletal mage? Rei was unsure what exactly 'he' was, began talking about compensation and a chance of 'returning home'. He had little idea for the currency, but with the number being that high it was a no-brainer that it was [i]alot[/i]. A seed of mistrust now implanted within him regarding the two elves, who's to say they wouldn't be enticed by something like that. Rei was wary of the skeleton's words, it reminded him starkly of how his parents spoke when in other's company. Enticingly smarmy and silver-tongued. Rei scrunched his eyebrows at the resemblance. Whoever this was, he knew his way around words, but luckil, Rei had lived most of his life around two starkly similar individuals. Before he could open his mouth to say anything, Kenia swore and told Malachi to usher the humans to the cave behind then. Rei had little idea what was happening, but the two must've seen or heard something, so he just quietly followed Malachi to the back of the cave. A few muffled voices began speaking at the mouth of the cave. It was probably best to not ask Malachi what in the hell was going on at this moment so he waited.
