Cad fell faster and further into the swirling vortex. He tried over and over to activate his rocket boots, to no avail. He looked around for something to hold on to but there was nothing. Then he looked down.
A small, quaint looking town was coming at him VERY fast. He was no physics buff, be he could tell he was going to die at the rate he was falling. He figured he's probably reached terminal speed a few meters up.
"Son of a bitch!" He shouted as a last act of defiance, or what he thought would be his last act of defiance. That was before the small package he has been carrying the whole time for 'D', floated out of his coat in front of him and began to glow, the blue light forming a bubble of some sort around him, causing him to slow down.
He landed softly in front of what seemed to be a school. The package that carried him down opened, and a small blue gem emerged from the box.
It was shaped like a bird of some sort and was pulsing with some sort of energy, of what kind he was unsure.
As the box fell to the ground, Cad stared at the gem for a moment, deciding not to question the thing that just saved his life. It began floating away, and Cad followed, not really knowing what else to do.
Everything about this world was strange, the language of the street names and shop signs was one Cad did not know. Names like 'Sonne' were odd sounding when he tried to say them, he was pretty certain her was pronouncing them wrong. Everything was made with intricate stone work, such masonry was long forgotten where Cad was from. Even the air felt odd. It smelled like warm bread, flowers and trees; the wind felt soft, light and cool on his face. He looked up at the single sun in the sky, it was probably around 6am judging by where it was and how it was rising.
Then the people showed up, walking out of their homes to start the day.
Upon seeing Cad they panicked, having never seen a blue man with pupiless red eyes before. Frightened women ran to their husbands and shielded their younglings. Cad paid them no mind, following the gem, wanting to just get out of there... until one man tried to bean him upside the head with a flowerpot.
Cad spun around, grabbing the man by the arm and twisting it back. "You got a problem?" He asked twisting it further, causing the man to drop the flowerpot. As soon as it fell it shattered, the other men looked up, seeing Cad subdue one of their own. The man Cad had incapacitated cried out to the townspeople. "IT'S A DEMON! BRING IT TO THE CHURCH! BURN IT! BURN IT!"
"What'd you call me?!" Cad asked with a growl, his fang-like teeth showing. Some women screamed at the sight of them. "IT IS A DEMON! KILL IT!" They screamed, their husbands jumping into action.
The men rushed him. Cad reached for his blasters, only to find his empty holster. 'SHIT! They must've fallen out when I fell...' He put his hand-to-hand experience to use, knocking out a few, only to be greeted by 10 more. Cad found himself overpowered by the many scared, theocratic, townsmen.
Cad kicked and squirmed, trying to break free of them. He looked around for the gem that saved him before, only to find it had floated away without him.
'Shitshitshit-'
He looked around more frantically for the man who brought him here. "DROSELMYER!"
