Chapter 25: Not Your World

A.N.: Ok, the emblems I use for showing the language in other forms doesn't show up when I upload chapters, so for now on, I will do this; I will say if it is in kiedran or Basitin if it isn't originally in English…

(Mike's P.O.V.)

I smiled as I placed my bag of crystals on my back as I began to place the other ten crystals in my pocket. The human that had given me a gold coin had indeed paid for crystals and the knowledge I had gotten after he had left. While I had known a lot of spells already, they were all the basic ones, and they never did operate perfectly how I had wanted. Today, I will be seeing more of the world, and I will try that new traveling spell I learned from that human mage…

This should work perfectly… lifting up a stone crystal; I looked at it as I began to cast the spell, feeling the air all around me beginning to tingle. Take me to where that kind human comes from…

Whirlwinds began to rage all around me, and the trees all around me began quiver and shake as if they were possessed, and I fell to my knees as something shot past my head. I looked over my shoulders briefly and saw something roundish and red soar through the air, What was that!? What is going on!?

Ohhh… o-ow… Something heavy and solid collided with the back of my head, and as I laid motionless on the ground, I saw a branch along the edge of my quickly blackening vision. I took in a few breaths as I shook violently, and then everything turned blank…

"Hey guys, where did you leave the Frisbee?"

I felt a slight ache in my head as I heard someone shout, most likely a human from the dialect. Before I had attempted to become the skilled mage I was aspiring to be, I learned some of the human dialect, but it was extremely hard to speak it. While I could understand most of the things the humans said, I wasn't as proficient in speaking it, yet when I heard the term 'Frisbee', I had no idea what that was. Groaning, I stood up as my head began to feel better. "Phil, check over by the trees, we all know Roger always throws it that way!" that time the voice sounded like it was at a further distance.

The sound of approaching feet made me begin to feel panicked for the most basic of reasons; I had no idea if these people were hostile to kiedran, let alone a lone wolf kiedran mage. I need to hide, b-but where? I was looking all around me, but the closest thing I saw was a tree and a few bushes. Just as I chose to go and attempt to climb the tree, I felt a hand land on my shoulder, and I looked over and saw the expression of a shocked looking male human standing there. I felt my muzzle curl up in a nervous smile as I spoke in my native tongue, "Uh… hello human…"

His hand quickly shot away from me as he stumbled backwards, fear spreading into his eyes like the human wildfires that had burned down my home village. I raised my hand and did my best to speak in the human dialect I had spent so long studying, "Hello… human. How are… you?"

As soon as I had spoken, he turned around and began to run away while he was screaming like any female would, and when he disappeared from sight, I heard him shout, "TALKING WOLF!"

Uh… I thought humans were the ones that attacked us. What happens if I run into a large group then? I froze as I heard what must've been his allies, "Dude, shut up!"

"Phil, is this just like when you saw Bigfoot?"

"DUDE! You're acting so embarrassing! We are at a park, how would a wolf get into the city in the first place?"

Placing one foot behind the other, I began to slowly walk away as I heard the voices drawing nearer. I need to get out of here before they catch me, I've become so much to just become a slave!

I turned tail and began to run, just as something tackled into my back. "G-Guys! I got it!"

When I felt my wrists grabbed, I felt and heard myself let out a whimper. When I spoke, it was unfortunately in kiedran, "P-Please, I don't want to be a slave…"

The weight was removed from my back, and I let out a relieved sigh as I heard one of the humans speak, "Dude, get off of him, haven't you ever heard about these guys? It's a fursuiter… what he is doing out here I don't know…"

After I heard that, I attempted to crawl away unnoticed, yet as soon as I began to try, strong hands gripped my shoulders and lifted me up, and I was soon facing a group of humans. One of them gestured towards me and said, "See, you just can't see the zipper for the mask and suit." The other humans looked at me more closely, and then the one that had just spoken reached out towards me, "Dude, let me just show them."

Jerking back as I reached in my pocket and took out two crystals, I spoke in my native tongue, "Stay back, I k-know f-f-firestorm!"

The human jerked back as he grew startled, and he said, "Woah… was that French?"

"N-No… I think he just spoke Russian."

One of the other humans scoffed as he said, "Guys, it was clearly Japanese…"

The other three humans looked at him, and I was left to wonder what they were all talking about. Ignoring them temporarily, I began to cast the enchantment, and just as they stopped bickering and looked towards me the spell took effect. A wall of fire shot from my hand and roared towards the humans in a giant swirling vortex. Before my stones expired, I began to walk backwards so that I could get away from the humans before they realized my spell wasn't a warrior's spell.

Spifft…

While I had been backing up, the rocks sputtered before they shattered, so I dropped them and turned around and began to sprint as fast as my legs could carry me. I heard the few shouts of pain and surprise behind me, but I was rushing past trees, passing by bushes, and the sound of something odd was starting to fill my hearing.

Bursting from a pair of large squarish bushes, I ran onto something that was oddly warm, and felt harder than dirt beneath my feet. I looked out at the expansive area before me with eyes wider than I would've expected while in a forest, but that wasn't the most stunning sight I was experiencing. There were large sqaurish and roundish… things… moving fast back and forth along black dirt with yellow stripes in it. Sounds I couldn't even describe were everywhere and everything smelled so strange, yet the only people I saw around were humans… no kiedran of any kind… until I saw another dog kiedran… but they appeared to be walking like a feral kind. A human, their master, had him by a rope that was connected to something around their throat. Walking towards them, I kneeled down in front of the feral kiedran and put my hand along his shoulder and asked, "Where can I find another kiedran camp?"

The dog looked at me, but it kept panting, and instead of answering me, or attacking me like any other feral would, he just responded with something as absurd as I would've expected, "Woof woof!"

Backing away, I noticed the human was giving me a confused expression along with one of incredulousness. I took my backpack off of my back and set it along the side walk. I don't have the slightest clue where I am… I'm going back home…

As I grabbed ten crystals from my backpack, a human stepped up to me, and I looked up and saw it was a male that still looked relatively young. I stood back up as I placed my crystals in my pocket as I slid my backpack on, "Hey dude, the fursuit parade was yesterday… not to mention you are pretty far from the others. I was heading there myself, so do you want to go with me?"

I hadn't been expecting to hear something along those lines, so when I didn't answer, he added, "There is a party all day today… they got an actual club with their own music artist… and I kinda don't want to go alone…"

I might as well experience what that other kind human's world is like… "Yes, I will go."

"Great, come on; my car is right over here…"

The 'car ride' had been interesting to say the least, it was like nothing else I had ever experienced; and the cold air upon request without the use of magic was extraordinary as well. When I had been instructed to put my seat belt on, I had no idea; the human had to show me how to do it. He had also showed me the type of music that was going to be playing on his 'radio', which was what he called 'hip-hop.'

We stepped inside a building, and inside was what I could describe as a whole bunch of weird looking, unconvincing costumes of kiedrans. It is just like that one time the kings' army tried to fool us… that was a pathetic excuse for an attack.

"Hey dude, let's go… I see a few vixen's over there… I think one of them is eyeing you." I looked over towards where the human was indicating, and I did in fact see a pair of humans with kiedran-like ears looking over towards us. One of them winked over at us as some music began to start from some unknown location. As they approached us, I could practically feel the nervousness from the human beside me radiating off of him, and he let out a nervous chuckle. After I gave him a confused glance, he asked, "Aren't you nervous?"

I coughed into my hand as I thought of the best way to say my response, or how to work it in English. When I found the correct words, I opened my muzzle and said, "I'm not human… I'm kiedran. I'm only a… a…" the word I was looking for wasn't in my vocabulary for easy access, so I just said in kiedran, "I'm only a mage."

"What's a kiedran?"

My muzzle dropped as he asked that question, and as I looked at him, I couldn't even fathom what his life is like. Kiedran were at war with humans, not to mention the constant raids by both sides…

I was panting heavily as the human females were smiling beside me, and the male human was only gapping at me as I struggled to regain my breath. I had known humans liked to dance and celebrate special occasions, but the humans here seemed to dance to strange music, and only for the pleasure of moving their bodies. The exerting force I had taken as a form of there erratic dance moves, along with the forced ones on me by them was tiresome. Looking up at the male human, he said, "Dude, where did you learn to dance like that!?"

"Where I'm from it is normal… oh…" I had spoken in kiedran on accident, but I quickly corrected that, "I didn't… already knew. I need to leave…"

The humans looked at me as I did my best to speak in their language, but one of the girls asked, "Why do you got to go already?"

Opening up my backpack and placing the stones along the ground near my feet, I said, "No need, I want… miss forest that I live in."

"Well, how are you going to get home? And what are the rocks for?"

I sighed as I let my muzzle open, and I pointed at the circle of ten mana crystals and said, "I will use magic… teleporting skill. Have good fun!"

Chanting out the spell, I saw the male human give the girls an embarrassed look while they in turn store at him and I with incredulous expressions. I smiled as the spell activated, and the room began to spiral away from me, and then everything was dark as something heavy hit my head again. Ow…

(Sam's P.O.V.)

Jessie and I were standing beside Raven as I held my finger across the man's neck that was resting on the forests soft springy flower bed. he had used the memory spell on himself, and that was what had produced the loud noise that sounded like a cannon shot; he had used the battleship memory I had shown him on the boat. "He is alive and alright from what I can tell… but he won't be if he gets hyperthermia."

"Hyper-what?" Asked Raven.

I handed my rifle to Jessie, who gingerly took it, and I lifted the old man off of the ground. I slung his arm around my neck as I held his weight on my shoulders. I wrapped my other arm around his back as he groaned, and I said, "It means he can die from being wet and cold… we need to get him to your healers, and fast."

As we made our way back towards the area Jessie and I had come from, something began to rustle nearby, and seemed to be coming closer…

A.N.: HAHA! NEW CHAPTER. Sorry for the long wait, but I really did hit a road block for this story. I have never written anything so long, and so many chapters; this is by far the hardest most sophisticated story I have written. I have been throwing my all at it, proof of the shortage of further ideas, along with how much shorter my chapters come out to compared to the first dozen chapters. I will be skipping days within the next few chapters, I need to get our favorite couple off of this island, it was a bad idea to send them to it. I will end up having a Basitin fishing ship take them back to the mainland, so there that information goes at least. Thank you all for being so patient during this wait; I will try not to let it get so long again.

RT86: Oh, things ARE steamy between Sam and Jessie, but not in that way... yet. Dont worry however, the rating will remain 'T' for i shall show you guys nothing. that part of the story will be skipped in a sense. and the bang was a cannon shot of kinds... a battleship cannon xD

RoWnAnNiEuWoUdT1: lol, you really want there to be a OC of yours in here... lol. that would be interesting though...

Comrade: *chuckle* you wierd ars hole! lol... you are bent on seeing Sam/Jessie action, arent you? anyways, no sex this chapter, just a kiedran visiting our world... lol
