Estik is a strange story filled with oddness and, quite frankly, not my best writing. But, don't let that discourage you; if anything should discourage you it would be the lack of definite plotline or OCness of the main character. But please, read anyway.
This story will cover a variety of fandoms. In fact, a very wide variety. Every chapter, in fact (or as close to that as possible) will be a different fandom. And, I won't tell you which one it is! But, again, don't worry. I try to write, also, for people who hadn't heard of the fandom so they, too, can enjoy the chapter.

But if you are, at all, confused, PLEASE tell me about what and I can fix it. I know all of these fandoms (obviously) and so I might assume you to know something that you don't.

Disclaimer: Only one character in this story is mine. If any others pop up, I will mention them. All other characters and instances belong to someone else.

I rubbed my eyes, yawning. I was not a morning person by any definition, and the big ruckus didn't help. I scratched my head, realizing my hair was a mess, and sighed. I reached over to the nightstand to find my glasses.

My hand felt wet, hard grass when I reached over. My glasses, book, and alarm clock were missing, and all of a sudden I felt very cold and damp.

I tried to focus on my surroundings. When I had first woken up, all that I saw were darkness and the faint outline of trees; I had assumed that was because I'm as blind as a bat. Now that I was more aware, however, I realized that I wasn't in my bed and that I was laying on the cold, hard grass that I had felt before.

I propped myself up with my elbows and squinted, trying to see where I was. 'Meadow' was the only thing I could think of, but I could barely make out distant flashes of light. Fireworks?

I got up, brushing myself off, thankful that I had gone to sleep in my sweats last night as opposed to my underwear. I wasn't wearing shoes, however (who wears shoes in bed?), and my socks were completely soaked in record time.

As I got closer to the lights, I could more distinctly make out the nature of the ruckus; there was screaming, yelling, missiles going off and some kind of sound effect I'd only ever heard on TV. It didn't sound pretty, and I wasn't altogether sure about walking towards it anymore, so I stopped.

As soon as I did, an icy breeze blew by. The sweats were the warmest in my closet, but they couldn't do squat against antarctic wind. Soon my teeth were chattering and my arms felt like snakeskin. I weighed the pros and cons in my head: walk toward the noise and probably get hurt (by who knows what), or not walk toward the noise and die of frostbite and very possibly starvation.

How did I even freaking get here, wherever 'here' is?

"Milady?" came a woman's voice. I turned around, shocked, but I didn't see anyone.

"Hello?" I asked, my voice shaking as hard as my body and my breath as thick and as visible as smoke.

"Milady, are you alright? What are you doing out here on your own, in such close proximity to the battle?"

Battle? "Who are you? Where are you? Do you have a blanket?"

"Why, milady, I'm right here."

"What, behind the firefly?"

There was a pause. "Milady, I am not a firefly. My light is brighter, cleaner, and quite more lovelier, and it does not emit from my rear."

I squinted, trying to see her. "So you're behind the floaty light thing?"

"Milady, I am the 'floaty light thing.' I'm called a Wisp, thank you very much."

"Uh..." so there's a floaty light thing, or 'wisp,' talking to me in the middle of the woods right next to a battle? "Do you have a blanket?"

"No," she said, "But come back to Base with me, we can get you cleaned up. What race are you?"

I was startled by the last question. "Uh, I'm white, but why would you ask a question like that? I thought racism was on the downhill."

"Are you human?" the wisp asked.

"Uh, yeah," I said, wondering why she had to ask.

"Good. We can't have any Orcs or Undead infiltrating our Base, now can we?" I didn't know how to answer this question, but apparently it was redundant because she continued. "Follow me. We can take care of you until a Human squad brings you back to your Base."

She proceeded to float away. I was very confused by her last sentence, but it contained 'we can take care of you,' which either meant she was going to kill me or give me a blanket. I followed her, knowing I would die out here anyway if I refused, and I really needed a blanket. And a hot cocoa.

I followed her until we were in a strange patch of trees. I say 'patch of trees' instead of 'forest' because for one, all of the trees were moving, two, the trees had faces, and three, they were too far apart to be considered any kind of mass 'group.'

The wisp led me past a tree that glowed and a tree that literally pushed itself up from the ground, walked over to a different area, and plopped back down before we stopped in front of what looked like some kind of cottage.

"I must attend to my duties," the non-firefly said, "The ladies in here can assist you." She flew off before I could ask her a question.

I shrugged, deciding I had no choice, and walked in. There were three girls who looked about my age (seventeen), and I couldn't make out any of their features as they were bluish blobs. Yes, I said blue. They turned toward me when I walked in and smiled.

"Ah, a Human! Our allies are treated with utmost respect, of course." The girl speaking bobbed, which I think meant she bowed. The other two blobs walked over to me and grabbed one arm each (which was a little unsettling), leading me over to something that looked much like a rectangle. I hoped it was a bed. Beds come with blankets.

"Get some rest, Human," one of them said soothingly and produced a blanket (thank god).

I accepted the blanket and was about to ask for hot chocolate when I remembered that I didn't know where I was.

"This might sound stupid," I started, realizing I chose the wrong phrase to start the sentence with, "but could you tell me where we are?"

"We are at Night Elf Base Camp," a blob said simply, "And don't worry, we are allied with the Humans. We are not your enemy."

"Well, yeah, the wisp thing said we were going to base, but I mean like what city are we in? Or by?" I added, remembering that I woke up in a meadow and those aren't all that common in urban areas.

"Get some sleep, Human, and you will remember in the morning. The cold often makes people forgetful." I think the blob smiled. Another blob walked over to her and handed her something.

"Here is some tea," the blob continued, handing me the something she received, which turned out to be some kind of mug. "It is very warm and has healing properties, and is very soothing to the senses. I think you'll find sleep a welcome retirement tonight."

I just woke up, how can I fall asleep again? "I don't really like tea," I said truthfully, setting the mug down on a nearby table.

"Please, miss," the blob said, handing the mug back to me. "It will help you sleep, and rest strengthens the soul."

"Are you trying to dope me?" I asked, putting the mug on the table.

"I'm sorry?" she asked, picking up the mug but not handing it to me.

"Did you put some kind of drug in there? What're you going to do to me when I'm asleep? Is that poison?" I knew I was acting like a conspiracy freak, but give me a break. I was supposed to be in my house instead of some weird living-elf-tree place.

"Please, miss. Humans are our allies. We would not poison our own side." She tried to hand me the mug, but I ignored it.

"How do I know you're my allies?" I asked, "You're the one who told me that. You could be lying. I wouldn't know."

The blob, instead of responding, reached out a limb and pinched me and I suddenly felt very tired. She probably did that weird nerve-ending thing I'd heard about.

But the thing she did next was very annoying. She force-fed me the tea. This was the point where I seriously doubted that we were allies, but I didn't have much time to; I was asleep within seconds.
