Chapter 1

One year later…

Darkness… choking, suffocating darkness. She couldn't even see her hand when she waved it in front of her face. Sudden confusion took her. "Wait, why do I have thoughts again? I'm dead! What's going on?!"

The darkness suddenly lifted a bit, turning into a dark grey. She got the feeling of floating and looked down to see that she was indeed floating. But nothing was around her; she was surrounded by that same dark grey.

Suddenly, she felt jarring as something moved. There were the muffled sounds of human voices. Again, confusion swamped her. "I'm supposed to be dead!"

The jarring started again, and she felt it until it suddenly stopped. She spun around wildly, trying to figure out what was going on. The muffled sounds of human voices continued, and then they faded. She calmed herself, trying to figure out what was going on. There was some sort of magic going on here. How else would she be alive? Then, her mind was flooded with different languages and different things. When it stopped, she was left with a slight throbbing that quickly faded.

Suddenly, the dark grey turned into pitch black once more, and then a blinding white light burst through it. She closed her eyes and flung her hands in front of her face. Well, she tried to fling her arms in front of her face. They were stuck in position, wrapped over the end of the pommel of her sword. The white light faded and then she saw her surroundings for the first time. She couldn't move her head or her eyes—or any part of her body, really—but she could see humans looking at different things in a lobby. The name of this place came to her mind: museum. A person came up and looked at a plaque that rested in front of her. He then looked up and examined her thoughtfully before moving on. Then, a man, his wife and their two kids came up to stare at her.

"Wow! Claire, the Highland warrior!" The little boy stared at her, awed.

How do they know who I am? Claire thought in surprise. The better question is: what is going on?

"She was a great warrior. I never knew she existed until last year." The father said. He was reading the plaque.

Humph. Father kept his word, it seems. Claire thought bitterly.

The family moved on and Claire experienced more reactions from other people as they came to stare at her. One man came up, dressed in a uniform. He had short black hair and a deadpanned look on his face. Another man, this on with short brown hair and dressed in a suit was beside him. The first man smiled at her. "I can't wait to meet Claire. She seems like a neat person."

"Same here, Mr. Daley." The second man said. "You'll have quite the time explaining things to her though."

"Eh. Teddy'll help." Mr. Daley answered. "Sacagawea will be a good help too." He paused. "Even though he's a trickster, Dex might help. It's hard to not relax at the sight of his adorableness."

"What, just those three?" The second man asked in surprise.

"Mmmf… You've met the others." Mr. Daley answered. At the second man's look, he sighed. "Okay, fine. Maybe Jedediah, Octavius and Lancelot will help."

I wonder who these people are… And what are they talking about? Claire wondered.

"Alright, Larry, I'll hold your word for it." The second man sighed.

"Dr. McPhee, I'm hurt by your lack of faith." Larry protested in mock hurt.

"Well then, carry on being hurt by it." Dr. McPhee sniffed.

Together, they laughed and Dr. McPhee left. Larry stood in front of and to the right of Claire, obviously guarding her from something. Claire wasn't worried about what he was guarding her from; she was just worried about what was coming. And her head was brimming with questions that she assumed only this Larry fellow could answer. As best she could, she examined him thoughtfully. He seems nice enough. Perhaps he'll be someone I can trust, or maybe even a friend.

Claire sighed mentally and continued to wonder about what was going on.

Like I said, this mainly introduces Claire. I promise, the chapters will get longer!
