I would like to say, from now on, bolded words will be words that the Hittites will be speaking, of course, Yu Ling doesn't understand. And when Yu Ling speaks, she speaks Mandarin that is italic.

Chapter 2. Hard Time

Sacred Arinna springs

Two women passing by one the sacred springs of Arinna

"Ah, did you hear the price of emmer wheat went up!" "What? I was just about to go the market and buy some for my husband-" the other women replied. Just as the other women was about to reply, she noticed her friends' expression on her face; a look of disbelief. "W-what…-duh…" her friend said. She looked in the direction of her friend; and saw what her companion saw, a long, black haired girl clothed with a white robe, drifting in the sacred springs of Arinna. People around were pointing, whispering, gasping, as they all wondered who this mysterious girl was, floating in the springs, and whether or not she was dead.

Somewhere...

"You're mine now, girl...The goddesses have finally answered me...hehehe..." a voice said, cackling.

Yu Ling's POV

What...Goddesses? Mine? What? Why is it so loud? Jeez, Oba-san, I don't feel too well, I think I'm going to stay home from school today…

Yu Ling opened her eyes so she could check what time it was, hoping to skip school today, but instead, found herself standing inside a shallow pool of some sorts. People were shouting, but she couldn't understand them…they were speaking with excitement, fear, wonder, and disbelief. People around her were wearing strange clothing, and she wondered if they were cosplaying.

"Ah! The girl is awake! What is to happen next! She is standing inside the sacred springs of Arinna!" a voice said. "That's almost bad enough to be a capital punishment! Defiling the sacred springs!" another said. Suddenly, guards were surrounding the spring in which Yu Ling stand, still flabbergasted. "I order you to get out from the sacred springs of Arinna this instant! You are now charged with the crime of defiling the Holy springs! Arrest her!" the head chief of the guards said to Yu Ling. They grabbed Yu Ling and made her kneel down forcibly so they could tie her hands up. "What are you doing? Unhand me! You have no right to treat me like this!" Yu Ling said, as she now knows well that she is in a dream, so hey? Might as well play along for my freedom. "What is she saying? She spouts weird words. Perhaps she is a spy from a foreign country trying to overtake our proud country? Is it Assyrians? Or the Egyptians? They've been eyeing this land for a while." the people said as more people were gathering around this scene of a strange girl arriving in the springs. "Would you guys just shut up! God! Wake up from an injury to find myself here!" "Are you chanting curses? What sorcery is this?! Besides defiling the sacred springs, you now practice sorcery?! That is also a capital punishment! Silence her mouth!" the head guard said as one of the guards punched Yu Ling in the gut leaving her unconscious. They dragged Yu Ling away from the springs and towards the city jail.

At the city jail

"Where is this? Where am I? Oh, shit. For a dream, that punch sure hit hard, but still a sissy one like from Du Bin Han, but I would've done it better though, heh." Yu Ling said as she felt a hunch of pain lying in her stomach. "They grabbed me from the pool, yelled at me, and then one of the men punched me in the gut?" Yu Ling said to herself, trying to recall what had happened to her in this dream. She looked around, and found herself in a room with wooden jailed bars. "Am I locked in jail? Hmm… this wasn't what I was expecting in a dream. But, then again, I was supposed to have received a bone fracture from that bitch Yuan Xi Eun." Yu Ling said as she reached towards the bars, trying to foolishly bend the bars.

A guard nearby noticed her rumblings, "Heh, so you're awake sorceress. What did you think you would accomplish from defiling our sacred springs?" the guard said to her mockingly. "Hmm..might as well play the part of a confused victim." Yu Ling thought to herself as she heard the guard talk to her. "What are you doing? Let me out!" Yu Ling yelled to the guard. "Still chanting curses, eh? It's useless; we had a priest come here to bind your dark magic. Anyway, you're going to be sentenced to death tomorrow morning, better sleep tight then, it'll be your last~" the guard said as he walked away. "What am I going to do then? I'm trapped here in this dirt place of a pig's nest. Worst yet, my finals are starting next week! What to do? I was only allowed to take a temporary leave from school because of the Championships! But, now here I am, in Ankara, Turkey, and I still haven't memorized the periods of the Warring states during the Zhou Dynasty!" Yu Ling thought to herself as she felt tired from the happenings of the day as she drifted to sleep, still unaware of the events she will lead in the morning after.

(A/N)

Will our heroine, Yu Ling ever realize her situation and where she is? I guess, she really is just all brawns with no brain.

Actually, I wonder how Yu Ling should play out? Who is she going to meet to be the male protagonist? I don't know.

So, if you guys can find the time to just do this quick poll, it's on my profile at the top! Please?! Pretty please? Ugly Please? Putty please? I just want to know which guy should Yu Ling play out with... :(
