The mist blocked out my vision until all I saw was white. I felt almost sick. My stomach churned and I felt weightless.
What the nether is going on!? I panicked in my head. Then, as suddenly as it started the feeling stopped. The world stopped swirling and I could see. I was on my feet. I stood on a floor of stars in a midnight blue galaxies. I looked around.
"Where am I?" My voice echoed. A hand rested on my shoulder and I calmly turned my head. A woman stood behind me. She had dark violet hair that blew in a nonexistent breeze. She wore a silver cloak that covered the rest of her body. A mantle of silver leaves rested on her brow.
"Lady Irene," I gasped. She smiled as I turned around.
"Hello, Zane. Do you know what's happening?" She asked. I shook my head, "Fate is not often your friend, huh? Well, you have been chosen by the fates to see what could have been. Who you could still be if you went down the wrong path. Be warned. This is a whole new world, with different people, no matter how much they look like your friends."
I nodded. I knew of the other dimensions. I had never been to one before though. Irene smiled. "Here," She said, "As a parting gift. I do believe you know how to use this." She placed a rod into my hand.
I had no time to process what it was though as the world started swirling again. Then, it was black. Wait, no. That was just my eyelids being closed. I opened them and the first thing I processed was green. I seemed to be flat on my face in something green and itchy.
I sat up and was blown away by the beauty of the scene. He sat in a meadow, wildflowers of every shade sprouted above the tall grass. Trees cast a shade upon the spot I sat in. The air smelled of honeysuckle and French Marigold. I smiled. It was wonderful. Then a thought crossed my mind.
"How the nether am I supposed to get back!?" I shot up and felt a weight at my side. I looked down and saw a sword sheath hanging from my belt. I was simple leather but the rim was an intricate twinage of silver and bronze. I grabbed the handle of the sword. It was made of a strange metal and when I pulled out the weapon, it was made of a strange black metal with iron ridges. I smiled. It was a broadsword, my specialty. I heard a groan behind me and turned around.
"Oh my IRENE! Come on!" I walked over to the person and touched their shoulder, "Laurance, you okay?"
He opened his eyes and looked back up at me, "Yeah, I think so. Where are we?"
"Another dimension. So in short, no idea exactly. Hey did you get a sword too?"
Laurance stood and looked around. He turned his back to me and I noticed the sheath. This one was also leather but a little more fancy.
"I don't think so…"
"It's on your back Little Laurance." He reached behind and grabbed the green hilt. He slid it out. The blade was five feet long and appeared to be made of titanium.
"A claymore!" Laurance smiled. He slid the "claymore" back behind his back.
"Nice," I replied. I looked around, "I don't see any path or anything. At least it appears to be morning so we have all day."
Laurance lifted an eyebrow, "You seen to be pretty experienced in this kind of thing. Have you been randomly transported to other dimensions before?" I shook my head, exasperated.
"No, I just watched a lot of movies," I replied. I grabbed his wrist, "C'mon we should start moving. We don't know what could be in this area." The forest seemed pretty dense so I couldn't make out anything in the distance. I guess we'll have to go in a random direction. We attempted to move forward...until he started bombarding me with questions within five minutes of walking.
"Where are we? What's going on? Do you think Garroth and Aph are here? What if-" I cut him there.
"Will you be quiet?" I hissed at him, glaring because of annoyance.
"Well I'm sorry," he replied dragging out the word 'sorry.' "I was just asking you questions."
"And you think I know where the hell we are? Or where anyone is for that matter?" I retorted. He should at least have some common sense, I'm as in the dark about this whole situation as he is!
"Well you seem like you know where we're going? You're probably just hiding something from me." Exasperated I turned around and stopped walking.
"What would I have to hide!? Maybe, Little Laurence, you should start using that tiny pea brain of yours for some good!"
"Watch it, One eye. I'm a million times smarter than you. Maybe you could show a little more a little more compassion, you know, maybe cause we're stuck here, TOGETHER!" Right then we heard a twig snap. Quickly, we both turned towards the sound and unsheathed our swords, almost on extinct.
"Clearly you weren't smart enough to keep your voice down," I hissed.
"Oh shut up."
