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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTGwphrhfQ

"Who's Tibbles?" Asked a man's voice near me.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV6xphOpvk

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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkUMcdc56O

"Am I dreaming?" I wondered insecurely and slowly sat up.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOC9rEHqzy

"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPyjVhb99v
606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCjPNkVCGG
"Never-ending forest?" I blinked.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvu0ZxAlW6
606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn4NKK7alq
He raised an eyebrow of confusion and tilted his head slightly. "You don't know where you are, do you?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ482eYZks54

"How am I suppose to know when I suddenly woke up upon a cliff looking out to sea and surrounded by a thick fog?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiH0juP7GT
606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dT39iEjsl
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQzmlIYMst
606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cc7MobcTk
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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbORzp9kqA

"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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfjIp14DRd
606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4vNnwB1oK
"An elvanshee?" I blinked.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5AuXNChys

"Don't give me the clueless act, Menscahme!"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5U06nj9qW
606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6WDTFQ4a6
"What is Mens-what-you-said?" I asked.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8csQ5LvzE
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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1mjZsUho
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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJKf92g7a1
"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8oyXGx1pW
