Author's Note: I need reviews; any are appreciated! When an author gets a
review, it's either that the story really sucked or that the reader really
enjoyed it. And even though I hope all my readers truly enjoyed my work,
once again, all reviews are appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Chapter Four: A Hostile Environment
When I regained consciousness the first thing I was aware of was throbbing pain all over my body. Then I remembered the conversation I had just had with someone I now realize I despise with a passion. All the instructions he had given me came back almost at once: 1) get up 2) get to the manor using any means necessary 3) help Aly in any way you can!
Remembering all this also made me remember that I had just fallen from a portal that had been 20 feet in the air. "Owwww! That hurts!" I moaned as I cautiously felt one of the many huge lumps on my head.
Only after I had felt the other various bumps and bruises I had managed to collect on my trip, did I look around and seriously examine my surroundings.
I was on a plateau whose only available entrance was a path way surrounded by gagged rocks. And as I continued to examine my immediate surroundings I noticed that I was not alone! There were about ten dark skinned men around me, and all seemed to be pointing spears at me.
"Stand! With your hands in the air, no sudden movements!" one of them growled at me. I could tell from the authority radiating from his person.
I complied, slowly standing up with my hands in the air. 'How can I understand them they aren't speaking English?' I wondered.
'That would be me.' Said a familiar voice from within my mind. 'I had to be sure you could communicate with the islanders. Go ahead talk I will make sure no harm comes to you. You will also find that you can speak almost every dialect spoken on the island.'
"May I ask what I have done to deserve this rough treatment?" I asked politely. "Because as far as I know merely breathing isn't a crime. You've got some nerve harassing innocent bystanders like this! I demand to see the head of the Balitang family immediately!" I said in the most imposing voice I could come up with.
The leader of the patrol was obviously perturbed by my self righteous out break. " Oh you will get you council with Lady Balitang but you meat Aly!"
'Good that is just what I was hoping for' said the voice of Kyprionth
'Get out of my head and go tell Aly to expect an important visitor'

Thanks in advance!
