The sound of whispers brought me out from the dark; I felt warm and comfortable. Softly I felt something warm tapping upon my cheek. I laughed and held up a hand to avoid it. "Oh Tibbles, hold on to your bowl, and I'll bring you breakfast soon." My hand held a person's hand gently and not a cat's paw.499Please respect copyright.PENANAFfKwkv46uW

"Who's Tibbles?" Asked a man's voice near me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAVXkzHK7ct7

I opened my eyes and began to look around. Stone chiselled walls like in a cavern, candles lit dark corners, and a young man sat beside me with a questioning gaze. I blinked to be sure I saw it right in the dim light; the man has fiery red wavey hair that almost covered his long pointy ears.499Please respect copyright.PENANANuqisdTmqr

"Am I dreaming?" I wondered insecurely and slowly sat up.499Please respect copyright.PENANAYNbbv2tE0N
499Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzzD4hizn
"Not that I know of." He crossed his arms and scoffed softly and coldly. "No wonder you're loony and asking such questions. It was loony to walk aimlessly in the never-ending forest."499Please respect copyright.PENANAE0KYz35zra
499Please respect copyright.PENANAMcLIb8vKRw
"Never-ending forest?" I blinked.499Please respect copyright.PENANA8vyms2dImH
499Please respect copyright.PENANAsTs4Gibr4c
He raised an eyebrow of confusion and tilted his head slightly. "You don't know where you are, do you?"499Please respect copyright.PENANArudtO33W3T
499Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ9nPyv0h8
"How am I suppose to know when I suddenly woke up upon a cliff looking out to sea and surrounded by a thick fog?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAmmdC9dxETz
499Please respect copyright.PENANAIP6Ufa38pM
The man blinked, his large almond-shaped eyes were beautiful, and the amethyst colour was almost hypnotizing. Suddenly he burst out laughing. "I think the cold froze a part of your brain, lass. You were found in the never-ending forest unconscious, and you are certain of this world and no other. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here talking to me." He smirked.499Please respect copyright.PENANARDIJ6mx5Yo
499Please respect copyright.PENANAqlLIT6NUDy
I stared at him bewildered. "Ever reconsidered, there are other worlds? Because I am living proof, the world I was born in has no never-ending forests and people like you with the special ears and eyes."499Please respect copyright.PENANAyEqnSsx1YE

"Hey, I'm an elvanshee and proud to be one!" He snapped and his glance looked fierce as he placed a hand upon his chest.499Please respect copyright.PENANAWngjHNjf2y
499Please respect copyright.PENANAETiDo3dhrn
"An elvanshee?" I blinked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAFbA8SPUKqf

"Don't give me the clueless act, Menscahme!"499Please respect copyright.PENANA0FGrgG5F0S
499Please respect copyright.PENANAAcKqXsTnPq
"What is Mens-what-you-said?" I asked.499Please respect copyright.PENANAr0UAUufGiI
Suddenly he grabbed me at my collar and forced me against the wall. "Don't fool me." He hissed. "You aren't here for the first time, so give up the foolish act, Linda."
I gasped of fear to his sudden aggression. I swallowed. "Why-why should I lie when I see you for the first time? How do you know my name?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAPc5jaFeI4T
He stared at me wide-eyed and speechless.
Without thinking, I kicked into his stomach. He immediately lets go of me while coughing and trying to hold his stomach.
"You tell me, why should I lie to you? How can I prove to you that I'm telling the truth? I'm not suppose to be here and never wanted to be here in the first place." I looked him right in the eye. "To be honest, I don't even recall how I got here."
The elf coughed and stood up right. "Like I said, you aren't here for the first time. That is why I know your name. You came back as promised."499Please respect copyright.PENANAFegS3iAM1q
"For- for what reason?"
"A war is drawing near as we speak and we need your help." He answered calmly and began to smile. "Still in top shape as you left, that was a firm kick."499Please respect copyright.PENANAcIY1rUU80F
