The weird eyed man by the river.

Traveling through white passages not even a sight could be opened by the brightness. I-rangris through it till shortly another gate opened, and she got absorbed in it.

Somewhere in a dark forest, green portal opened out of nowhere with the girl been thrown out.

THUMB! She did a hard landing and fell dizzy, "Ouch!" sitting up with her headache, I-rangris moaned, "What was all that? My head hurts too...huh? "

Opening her eyes, looking around she found herself being surrounded by thick Titan trees with brushy hairs on their heads. The ground covered in grasses with bushes leaning by the trees, "This is.....some kind of.....forest" said the girl confounded by the atmosphere, "but, where am I? How did I get here? And?" she got puzzled to find in her palm nothing but, the brooch that was treasured in the chest back in her room, "Where's the box? Where did I drop it and why....?  How?" huge pressure of anxiety conquered her, shivering and terrifying her.

She held herself exhaling inhaling serval times and said, "Don't panic....it's going to be alright. It's just a forest. Perhaps, maybe there must be someone nearby camped or a group resting. Normally, there could be some chances."

Standing back on her feet, I-rangris could barely think. There were paths leading at all sides. She got trapped in at the center of multiple roads, in a new place with nowhere clues.

The forest was at the daylight but, still dark atmosphere appeared in some sides. Rays of sun pass by the bushy hairs of trees till the ground. The loud cries of birds with wind breezing slightly displayed some life in the surroundings.

I-rangris stared at the surrounding paths, picking up her decision she turned back and took the one at the right saying inwards, "staying in open place won't help anything. I have to move forward. Maybe then, I will be able to find out where am I transported to."

Pacing through bushes, passing by the trees and crossing wet soil, the single girl suddenly stopped, "wait..." hearing something like a flow of liquid she asked, "could there be a river nearly?. It's the sound of water."

She hurried her steps further, following up the sound, pushed away some bushes, I-rangris got surprised to find near her foot, fresh river steaming.

Clear color less water running down the hill. She passed by the opposite way of the river till finally, walking by the bank of the river was safer, "Ah! There's someone...." she noticed a coat hanging on a branch of a tree with a sheath leans down. I-rangris came here the tree, finding out the coat soaked, and the sheath washed well.

The figure of the two objects were abnormal.

The coat had designing and decorating with lining gold lace and crystal whereas, the sheath had red carver with silver designing and decorations.

"Is this place some sort of fantasy world?" asked the girl inwards "in my world, these are only imaginary stuff?" She wanted to feel it whether it was real or not.

The moment she was about to touch the sheath, "I won't do that if I were in your shoes." suddenly, a male voice came out frightening her. She backed away few steps, looking here and there, wondering where could that come from.

Her caught on a figure at a far distance, there a tall male, wearing simple shirt, black pant and boots, washing his face from the river water.

"AHM.... I am sorry for misbehaving." apologized I-rangris.

The young man dried his face, stood up and approached towards his stuffs. When he looked at her, a shockness stamped I-rangris on the ground. There was something odd in him, "His eyes has a crest in them....similar to mine but, more modified. How is he even capable to look at me?" startled I-rangris by looking at the cold eyes of this stranger.

The man had black eyes with dark Grey hairs. In his eyes In his eyes, there was a purple crest, visible to all. Anyone starting at it might feel as though, they would go blind but, this man was normal in his looks.

He picked up his stuffs while the girl could only start there like an idiot.

"You want something?" he asked while buckling his sword belt.

"I am lost...I don't know where to go" answered the girl politely.

Taking his coat, he directed her to head north, perhaps the place you would visit might visit be your home, "Or specifically, your last home...." he sounded serious. After finishing his piece he walked away, jumping the opposite direction and got absorbed into the forest.

I-rangris stood there wondering what did he mean by this?. The last home...? It sounded weird. "This place is starting to freak me out. Better follow the given instructions rather than going insane here." suggested the girl to herself and headed straight into the forest.
