" so this is the next candidate?" a humanoid figure said to the weird looking old man beside him covered in scrolls and books
" yes apparently his legend is a fairly new one relatively speaking of course"
The figure kept looking at the human at their feet before turning to his companion a little annoyed " well get on with it tell me his story we have more people to get through "
Nodding the old man reached towards the unconscious human his hand ignored the flesh of the body like it wasn't their reaching inside it
When he pulled back his arm he was holding a medium sized book the cover had a dragon wrapped around a eclipse on it the book was also a little worn having a scar on its surface in the shape of a lightning bolt .

Our story begins on a world far from our own in a galaxy full of magic and wonder where the Impossible becomes possible
in a forest full of mist there standing near the edge of this forest. a young man in his early twenties an a little overweight rapidly looked around in a frenzy
this is where it all begins
***
"Where the fuck am I!" I shouted one second I'm outside walking to a gas station for some snacks the next I'm standing in a forest what happened
looking around all I see is a tree in front of me and mist so thick I can barely see 5ft in front of me " well this fucking sucks in a forest I don't know and no clue how I got here or why and there is mist all around me so thick I can't see a thing this is great just awesome."
Moving a bit closer i examined the tree " is it just me or is there purple mixed in with the green of the leafs" I don't know plants like that but I'm pretty sure that's not normal...probably
whatever the world is a big and mysterious place sometimes it has its moments even if it's not really magical,"what should I do now?."
I can't just keep standing here they say to stay put if you get lost in the wild but considering I have no idea where I am or how I got here and no one is going to know I'm missing for bit it's probably best I try to find some sign of people at least for a little bit
man this sucks I wish that what ever happened to me didn't knock my phone dead now I can't use the damn thing I hope it's not broke I don't got the money to get a new one or get it fixed
Taking a moment i Stretched my limbs 'guess I should get walking let met see if I can find a long stick really quick so I can keep a line in the dirt so I can find my starting point just in case I need it'
" nice found one, ok so which direction should I take hmm..."
I pointed in a random direction " I choose you whatever direction you are since I have no way too know and I'm not smart enough to tell just by my surroundings...now into the great unknown hizza! "
...One hour later...
"call me inpatient but I feel I should have noticed something by now but it's just trees as far as the eye can see which, isn't much because of this fucking mist"
My head spun to a increasingly degree as i continued through the forest " man this place sucks I feel so disoriented it's a good thing I picked up this stick at least I know I'm going straight, i guess I'll just keep going for now"
.
.

"I really wonder how I got here one moment I was minding my own business when the next thing i know everything goes white and I'm in a forest "
' I wonder if it's some kind of government experiment or maybe it has something to do with aliens an I'm in a simulation of some sort that would be cool...but I doubt it as much as I want to believe our world is not that fantastical. ' The smile slowly faded from my face
"it's just a hive for scum and villains who like to prey on the weak and innocent even when there is good it is always hounded for trying to make a change for the better and a lot become just as corrupt in the end catering to their own selfish wants
there is a saying that holds true in most cases' you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain'
and all it takes sometimes is just one really fucked up day to become the monster that is chained inside, it's truly sad that the world is that way if only the good people truly stood a chance to change the world maybe it could be better
Sighing i stopped in my tracks looking down " man I just made myself depressed maybe it would better if I just stay out here but then again...my precious games I need them it's my one light in this dark and bleak world after all I'm a gamer
...another hour later...
I feel like I'm not getting anywhere without this stick it would have been difficult to tell if I was moving at all at least I can feel it dragging this is tiring
"Wwwoooooooo"
"What in the nine hells was that was that a wolf?"I look around me blood pumping until I notice two wolves come out the mist behind me
" shit!" I pick up my stick in a defensive pose the best I can and face them
" I'm not sure what to do but I know not to show you my back"...then I see two more wolves come out of the mist
" but in this case I might not really have a choice." maybe if I can get far enough from them I can find something to get them to lose my scent since they shouldn't be able to see in the mist like me...right, I might have a better chance this way then fighting four wolves
I started to walk back slowly with the stick in my hands but the wolves just stared at me as I was moving when it got to a point where I didn't see the wolves because of the mist I turned and ran as fast as I could my heart was beating fast and aching it felt like I was going to have a heart attack
after 5 minutes of me running I started to hear the wolves again when I looked there was one right on my heels I quickly chucked the stick in my hands at it
thank the gods it was a good sized stick so when it bonked the head of the wolf it got stuned a little and bought me some more time so I keep running after some time I hear a loud voice yell "halt! "
It was a language I have never heard but some how i understand it I look in front of me to see the mist has cleared finally an there is a gate which seem to lead to a gorgeous garden with four guards near it
two guards on a balcony type thing over the gate holding bows and two in front of it holding spears they are wearing green silk like armor the ones in front had visors on their helmets so it was hard to see their faces but Up top they didn't cover them
' is it just me or do they look a bit weird maybe I'm just wrong I mean I'm not exactly handsome myself I'm not going to make any panties drop that's for sure."
I look back to see if the wolves are there but when I look they are siting on their hindlegs like good dogs which leaves me a little stunned
"I won't ask twice stranger why are you here behind the royal palace" said one of the guards in the front after a little bit of me trying to process what happened the guards get ready to attack
quickly I yelled "wait" it was wired because what I said was in English but what came out wasn't but they seem to understand me wired so I quickly tried explaining what happened by the end they seem to understand something I don't
"do you guys think it's true it's been so long since we have had a traveler appear "one guard said
"I don't know i have never seen one before but he does seem like one if the story's are true what human wears that "another one said while looking at me
"who can really say for sure it may be best to take him to the king in case he really is."
After debating some more they decided " I'll take him there and let the king decide his fate" they all agreed after that
"but what if he is a assassin" one said to the other one who's going to take me took a good look at me
"I don't think he is and even if he somehow was I think I can take him, look at him I'm surprised our wolves didn't catch him first" the other one said
'wow that was just uncalled for,I mean I know I'm big but that's just rude'
"Alright human let go see the king so he can decide your fate" one of the spear guards came and gently taped my back with the tip of his spear
as we started towards the gate I was thinking ' haven't they been calling me human like they weren't one' as we get closer to the gate I look up to look at the guards up top I noticed his long ears, sharp eyes and hair that flows like silk
' are these people are elves' I think to myself excitedly but their not real then I look around again and noticed the lack of guns or modern technology there is none anything man-made seems to be wood my heart beats faster and faster quicker then even when I was chased by the wolves I scream in my head
'I'm not on earth anymore!'
at least from everything that has happened so far from the trees too the mist that made me disoriented and the wolves that listened to these people who seem to be elves I don't thing I'm on earth and if I am it's a undiscovered region this is getting me really excited more then anything in my life ever has before
almost feels like it's where truly it begins
