Huh?
Where am I?
Did I die or something?
As Carter awake he had so many questions.
As he sat up he was surprised by his environment.
He was currently on a black couch.The room he was currently in wasn't his.It had paintings hanging on the walls,a brown wooden desk with stacks of papers on it,A black book,wooden chair,red carpet that went from the door to the desk,and a fruit basket on the floor by him that had three bananas,two apples,one orange.
Carter studied his environment and even pinched himself a couple of times to check to see if he could feel anything.
"Ow!"
"Well I think I'm still alive.The question is where am I?"
He then got up from the couch and walked over towards the desk.
He looked around and saw a black book that read:The Book Of Shadows.
He then picked up the book and examined it.
He then heard a voice in his head.
'So you've finally come a rightful successor.Yes you'll do my prince.'
"What the hell?"
Carter was taken a back by the sudden voice in his head.
He was a bit scared and even tempted a bit to throw it across the room.
But..
He was also curious to know what was inside.
Why was I brought here?
Why am I not dead?
Who are you?
Why do you want me to read you?
If I do will something bad happen?
They were all questions that were running wild in his head.
The only way he could get these questions answered was to read this book.
As he opened the book his mind was flooded with knowledge and darkness.
Argh! It hurts!
Damn it!It hurts!
My head feels like it's about to split open!
He then suddenly fainted.
Later,when he regained consciousness he then heard footsteps approaching the door.The door then slowly opened and as Carter got up to his feet a man came in holding milk and cookies.
He was short and hairy with his hair and beard being red,he was wearing a green apron with a black shirt underneath,with ripped jeans.
"Oh you're awake brother!"The man said with excitement and joy.
Brother?Does he mean me?I've never met this weirdo before in my life.
"Are you sure you're alright brother?"
"Umm…do you mind telling me who you are and where exactly I am if you don't mind?"
"Hmm?You're acting strange brother but I guess you've always been a little weird."
Again why does he keep talking as if he knows me.Have we met somewhere before?I don't remember.I've never been to any anime conventions before.Is he cosplaying a dwarf or something?Gotta say he's got the cosplay down-pat.But that's not.
The bearded man then walked over to the couch and sat down and took a bite out of his cookie.
"You know this is the country of Venthara."The bearded man said as he then drunk some of his milk.
'Venthara?'that's a place I've never heard of before.Maybe I didn't pay too much attention in school or something?
Carter then walked towards the nearest window and took a peak outside.He then was stunned at what he saw.
People with pointy ears like elfs.
People with animal features.
People that were flying.
He was shocked at what he saw he then thought for a moment.
Was I transmigrated? Or isekaied?
He then looked at his reflection in the window and he still looked like himself.That was for sure,he then looked back at the man sitting on the couch still eating cookies and gulping down milk.
If I'm still me then how does this guy know me?He thought to himself as he was trying to make sense of alot of things.
I have to make it back home…Home to?...
He then couldn't remember why he wanted to return home.
Was there someone waiting for him to return?
He then tried his hardest to thing and remember but it was like his memories of the people important to him was locked behind door covered in chains.
Why?Can't I remember their faces?Why do I wanna go back home?Who's waitmg for me there?
My parents?
Friends?
Other relatives?
Pets?
A girlfriend?
Who is waiting for me?why can't I remember and why does this bearded who I am convinced is a dwarf santa clause know me?
The bearded man then looked at the Carter and waved with a smile.As cooke crumbs rained down his beard.
"Want some brother!"The man said with a smile on his face.
Carter's stomach then started to growl he then inched over but stopped after a few feet.He then saw the many hairs in those cookies and said,"No thanks that's all you man I think I'll stick to the fruit basket."
Carter then grabbed a banana from the basket and peeled it and took a bite.
"Oh brother you never really did like taking food from strangers did you."
Ok that was weird how the hell did he know that about me.I mean yeah I'm a picky eater but we just met today dude.
Carter then took one more bite out of banana and asked the man again who he was.
"Come now you know me it's me Olrim Brighelm."
At first he wanted to believe it was a fake name but now truly convinced he's in another world he was amazed about this worlds cool mythical creates but at the same time someone who he's never met before knows him,surprisingly really well too.
"So hey do you mind explaining how we know each-other exactly?"
Olrim then simply stared at him like he had amnesia or something.
"Brother don't you remember we met about two years ago when you saved my life.That's the day we swore we'd be brothers hence forth."
Saved his life?What's he talking about?Today's the first time I've ever seen a dwarf who even drinks and eats cookies like santa clause no less.I guess I'll try to make good use of this situation.
"Sorry I don't remember much after waking up."
"Could it be you have amnesia brother!"Olrim replied in shock dropping his cookies and spilling his milk.
"My brother dosen't remember me!"Olrim yelled as tears started spraying out of his eyes like he was a water-sprinkler.
I didn't think I'd get this kind of reaction out of a dwarf.
"I uhh…Think some of our encounters is coming back to me."
"Really."Olrim replied with tears still raining down his face and snot running down his beard."
"Yeah really."
"That's good brother don't wanna be forgotten that's all."
I see,man that could have gone better than anticipated.
"Anyway brother we better get going."
"Where to?"
Olrim then got up from the couch and dusted the crumbs and snot off his beard.
"To the camp of course."
"Camp?"
"Oh right you probably forgot cause of the amnesia thing.I'll explain along the way,we'll be late if we stay here."
