When Riley finally came to the first thing she noticed was she was in a bed…or at least in something soft, it felt like she was on a cloud of feathers. The next thing she noticed was the room smelled wonderful. Not like perfume wonderful of fresh baked bread wonderful, but spring with no city mess wonderful. Finally she forced her eyes open and was blinded by the light.
"Oh your awake," A voice said the Riley knew as Numair's. "Well it's about time."
"What did you do to me?!" Riley shouted as she sat up a little clumsy from being out for what she had gathered, a long time.
"So is this worse then your science teacher?" Numair inquired smiling. Riley looked around a bit and blinked a few times.
"No actually considering what I've been doing this seems pretty normal," Riley answered. "So where are we?"
"Tortall…I won't go into it all now…I might put you to sleep again." Riley left out a small snort of a laugh. "Anyhow," Numair began to say ignoring Riley. "Dinner's about to start. There are some clothes over on the trunk you can wear. Met me down in the main hall when you're done changing." Numair began to leave the room when riley called after him.
"Umm…where's the main hall?"
~*~*~*~
Numair had left Riley alone and she had sat on the bed for a few minutes trying to understand what exactly had happened. The whole thing gave her a headache so she gave up. Standing up off the bed she walked across the room to look at the clothes Numair had left foe her. She wrinkled her nose seeing it was a dress. A very….different dress than what she was used to seeing. After several attempts of putting the blasted thing on she gave up and pulled her jeans and t-shirt back on.
Riley walked over to the door and opened it and steeped out into the hall. She looked around a bit before she closed the door behind her. She began walking down the hall looking at all the painting and things hanging on the wall. She didn't know where Tortall was…maybe it was somewhere near Italy. Sure looked like this particular place was bent up on the Middle Ages. Just as she was rounding the corner she ran into a tall thing and fell to the floor. Her long brown hair fell into her eyes and she felt a sudden pain in her hind parts.
"I'm sorry," A voice said from above her. Riley shook the hair out of her eyes and looked up at three very tall people, two boys and a girl. One of the boys, who had red hair, was holding his hand out to her. Riley looked from him to the girl and then to the other boy. She stood up with out taking the hand and dusted her butt off.
"Ummmm….hi," Riley said. The three exchanged glances and Riley got the impression that these people were thinking she was off her rocker. "Where…ummm food? Where can I find food and Numair?"
"Oh! Numair! Food!" the red head shouted grinning. "We're on our way there we can show you. By the way I'm Cleon, this is Neal and Kel," He said pointing to his two companions.
"Right…ok hi I'm Riley," Riley said grinning.
