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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAHZlqEcjRcX

"Who's Tibbles?" Asked a man's voice near me.721Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ2Js7x3UJ

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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAl8UqcEhoYW

"Am I dreaming?" I wondered insecurely and slowly sat up.721Please respect copyright.PENANAQa66LcmcE2

"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAILP9KWUVR3
721Please respect copyright.PENANAmXR9w86qbP
"Never-ending forest?" I blinked.721Please respect copyright.PENANAl9jfWScaPw
721Please respect copyright.PENANAtBpXmgcSTl
He raised an eyebrow of confusion and tilted his head slightly. "You don't know where you are, do you?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAOp6vi5HNVp
721Please respect copyright.PENANAvEPjkynIHx
"How am I suppose to know when I suddenly woke up upon a cliff looking out to sea and surrounded by a thick fog?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAggULVjA6Mq
721Please respect copyright.PENANAXxbEi1cJcK
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAVI9mY5Bw6o
721Please respect copyright.PENANAzGGdWQjYRc
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANApBjmL4BOkz

"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAgsdmRrKf7X
721Please respect copyright.PENANAME94DbVqyI
"An elvanshee?" I blinked.721Please respect copyright.PENANAlCkTml9Ogp

"Don't give me the clueless act, Menscahme!"721Please respect copyright.PENANACppkxOGA57
721Please respect copyright.PENANAKbeQEx4Mf0
"What is Mens-what-you-said?" I asked.721Please respect copyright.PENANA5nTOk3MCOu
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANABTF39o4h0k
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAiWKvcW3zsv
"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAn10XvxrASj
