Chapter 1 Beginning

A lonely student comes home from college. He lives alone in an apartment in a city in Europe. Before the door slides in the lock, he has thrown his backpack on the ground and is underway to his computer. The computer still waiting in sleep mode as always. Once rebooted he clicks on the icon of his favorite game: Elder Tales.

After logging in, the character selection screen pops up. He clicks through a few of his character, and then he finds his second favourite character Ayana, she is level 79, "Hmmmm... I can give it a go, besides she is almost maxed, I can always change when she is" he thought by himself.

He clicks on start and that is the last thing he noticed before his vision turned dark and it felt like he had passed out. The next thing he notices is that there is something soft against his left cheek. He opens his eyes and notices that there is so much hair before his left eye. He puts his left hand to where his ear should be. The only thing he felt was a lot of hair.

He sees a mirror on the other side of the street, and walks over there. He looks in the mirror, and there stands a slender women with fire red hair waving down till half way of her back, black eyes and a black satin robe with edges around the big long sleeves and the underside of the dress. There also was a tome attached to the left side of her waist by a small steel chain. On the other side was the dream bag, just a cube shaped bag, it could store 200 items on its own. Normal backs could only carry 32 items each at max, and you can carry 5 bags at a time. So there where 4 much smaller backs besides the dream back.

On the ground where he just stood up from was also a staff. Made from oak wood, 2 inches thick, around 7 feet at most. From the bottom till around 6 feet where runes carved in the staff. From 6 feet up the staff was divided in several smaller wild branches. In those wilder branches there where 10 little skeleton hands attached and in those hands where little orbs, each another colour.

When he was done inspecting his gear he noticed something else, an annoying pain in his upper back. He looked down his chest and saw to big hills on it. "Why are those there?" he asked himself.

He opened his status screen and saw Name: Ayana Gender: Female. "S*** that means I am trapped in her body".

"Okay stay focused Gyldan" he said to himself again. "First I have to find the rest". He opened the friend list from the menu. Drow was online at that moment "voice chat". And the chat connected. "Hallo, is that you Ayana?" was the first thing Drow said. "Yes it is, where are you now?" and he was surprised to hear his own voice being so high.

"I am standing next to the giant sequoia in the middle of the city" Drow replied. "Giant sequoia?" and as I looked towards the centre of the city I indeed saw a gigantic tree. "Wait for me there, I will be there asap".

As I came closer to the tree, one silhouette was getting bigger and bigger. When I was at about thirty feet away Drow started waving, I waved back and seconds after I start waving I see something falling down from the tree. When it hits the ground it makes a loud noise and stands back up. The new silhouette walks to Drow and starts waving at me while, apparently a he, walks over to Drow. We arrive at the same moment and I noticed it was Luvius that came jumping out of the tree.

*Drow looks like an normal guardian, subclass: tracker, with a shield in his right hand and a sword in his left. He wears a big suit of plate armor leaving only his head uncovered. He has short black spikes for hear, dark brown eyes and a round kind of round face. Luvius on the other hand was a guardian as well, but had had the gladiator subclass. He carried a big ribbed sword and had a suit of dark red plate armor, but he had it modified because there where huge spikes all over it. He also had a uncovered head, but he had a slimmer face than Drow. He has hear of the same colour as his armor but occasionally a white spot.

"So now there is three of us" was my conclusion.

"Where is the rest of the actually?" Luvius asked.

"I would say they are at you know where" answered Drow.

"That's Where we are going, after we find out where we actually are" Luvius said.

"That one I know" I replied "We are in elder tale, the game".

"That's one problem solved" came from Luvius. "Now my question. Why the hell are we here?" I started.

"Could be the new expansion" Drow replied.

"New expansion? Why didn't I know that?" I reacted frustrated. Both the guys pulled up their shoulders, as a sign that they didn't know.
