The sound of whispers brought me out from the dark; I felt warm and comfortable. Softly I felt something warm tapping upon my cheek. I laughed and held up a hand to avoid it. "Oh Tibbles, hold on to your bowl, and I'll bring you breakfast soon." My hand held a person's hand gently and not a cat's paw.756Please respect copyright.PENANAPYsjKwQvIL

"Who's Tibbles?" Asked a man's voice near me.756Please respect copyright.PENANAJC0zXaxNwh

I opened my eyes and began to look around. Stone chiselled walls like in a cavern, candles lit dark corners, and a young man sat beside me with a questioning gaze. I blinked to be sure I saw it right in the dim light; the man has fiery red wavey hair that almost covered his long pointy ears.756Please respect copyright.PENANAgu9zwAR36Y

"Am I dreaming?" I wondered insecurely and slowly sat up.756Please respect copyright.PENANAqcf5OHalwz

"Not that I know of." He crossed his arms and scoffed softly and coldly. "No wonder you're loony and asking such questions. It was loony to walk aimlessly in the never-ending forest."756Please respect copyright.PENANAIqYXyGP9hW
756Please respect copyright.PENANAJtaHkQFZXl
"Never-ending forest?" I blinked.756Please respect copyright.PENANAnXm6GOKZI1
756Please respect copyright.PENANApdhdovLDDU
He raised an eyebrow of confusion and tilted his head slightly. "You don't know where you are, do you?"756Please respect copyright.PENANA1bl8SFS8Lm

"How am I suppose to know when I suddenly woke up upon a cliff looking out to sea and surrounded by a thick fog?"756Please respect copyright.PENANAjekEekSSDn
756Please respect copyright.PENANA0OSmqX0NJU
The man blinked, his large almond-shaped eyes were beautiful, and the amethyst colour was almost hypnotizing. Suddenly he burst out laughing. "I think the cold froze a part of your brain, lass. You were found in the never-ending forest unconscious, and you are certain of this world and no other. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here talking to me." He smirked.756Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dy2zQ9ozf
756Please respect copyright.PENANAcITo2mJjpw
I stared at him bewildered. "Ever reconsidered, there are other worlds? Because I am living proof, the world I was born in has no never-ending forests and people like you with the special ears and eyes."756Please respect copyright.PENANAYJR9KVv3dW

"Hey, I'm an elvanshee and proud to be one!" He snapped and his glance looked fierce as he placed a hand upon his chest.756Please respect copyright.PENANAgPFoHrV5Pd
756Please respect copyright.PENANAWxkCJntZK9
"An elvanshee?" I blinked.756Please respect copyright.PENANAYi6wMLJJiF

"Don't give me the clueless act, Menscahme!"756Please respect copyright.PENANAaSKK9fhQC8
756Please respect copyright.PENANAHlkrObMDPR
"What is Mens-what-you-said?" I asked.756Please respect copyright.PENANAQSPDXcxJxQ
Suddenly he grabbed me at my collar and forced me against the wall. "Don't fool me." He hissed. "You aren't here for the first time, so give up the foolish act, Linda."
I gasped of fear to his sudden aggression. I swallowed. "Why-why should I lie when I see you for the first time? How do you know my name?"756Please respect copyright.PENANAQc7guutwNu
He stared at me wide-eyed and speechless.
Without thinking, I kicked into his stomach. He immediately lets go of me while coughing and trying to hold his stomach.
"You tell me, why should I lie to you? How can I prove to you that I'm telling the truth? I'm not suppose to be here and never wanted to be here in the first place." I looked him right in the eye. "To be honest, I don't even recall how I got here."
The elf coughed and stood up right. "Like I said, you aren't here for the first time. That is why I know your name. You came back as promised."756Please respect copyright.PENANAw6ktXZ2IHX
"For- for what reason?"
"A war is drawing near as we speak and we need your help." He answered calmly and began to smile. "Still in top shape as you left, that was a firm kick."756Please respect copyright.PENANAAzDomDOLPZ
