Another World: World of Eurapheia

Late at night. His mother came into his comfort. Telling that Luna didn't mean what she said and that she was regretting and apologetic about it.

His Mom being there, lightened his sorrow. She always did. And as usual, bringing back the innocent and forgiving Lucas, his Mom made him able to forget what happened and forgive.

Eventually, as their Mom expected, the two were able to have closure again, leaving behind everything that transpired. It was awkward at first especially for Luna.

*smirk*, Lucas revealed a smirk, remembering the scene where Luna felt shy conversing with him. Her eyes were somewhat hesitant, kept on staring at nowhere. She also pinched her hands, clasping them each time.

However, that maiden and innocent Luna was washed off by the scenery before him.

"Ahhh, brother, please! Let's eat there!", Luna insisted, nagging Lucas once again.

This was the usual Luna. The vibrant yet nagging immature 26 yrs old woman. She sometimes had a mood swing like what happened yesterday, where she had gotten rather serious and reasonable. But that was seldom, even rarer than white crows.

"Ahhhh, fine, fine", Lucas replied in a lazy manner

Like Luna, he also wanted to satiate himself with joyous memories with his family. Especially because he now had only 1 month before his departure.

Thus, despite being annoying, he spent the remaining month with his sister and mother, enjoying themselves to the fullest.

----

Time flew so fast.

Lucas was now standing in the center of a bizarre pattern inscribed on the floor. Beside him were a suitcase and a bird's cage.

One month had passed, it was now his turn to be transported.

Looking farther at his side, he saw his sister and his mother. Their eyes trembling, and mouth shuddering as they uttered their farewell...

"Be careful there and have fun Lucas!", their lips' motioned

Lucas on the other hand, just replied a 'You too' before his body was devoured by lights and soon, faded alongside it.

*crack*

Just right after Lucas left, the pattern etched on the floor released a crack, until moments later, it breaks and shattered into pieces.

The reverse-summoning was now fulfilled. A total of 195 representatives had been sent out into an extraordinary yet dangerous world.

What awaits them was uncertain, and the time they would be back would be a year later.

Everyone on Earth took note of that day, September 08, 2062; the day, where 195 Earthlings had ventured into the world of Swords and Magic.

A day where Earth's fate was transferred on their hands.

------

In the World of Eurapeia, a silhouette can be seen hiding behind the trees, gasping and heaving its chest, seemingly afraid of something.

The entity looked straight into its front, not even attempting to move its head as the tree was narrow, and every movement might lead to its disclosure.

*rustle*

A moment later, a rustle was heard on the bushes behind the tree that the entity was hiding. The bushes turned ground as the new species stepped on it.

Revealing itself, it has four massive feet, akin to elephants, walking on its four feet like a dog. Its body furred with dark and thick bristles, nullifying the air that come into contact as they didn't budge by even a bit.

Lowering its head that only had a nose, enormous maw, and but one eye, it sniffed into the ground, seemingly locating something.

Meanwhile, the entity behind the tree halt its breathing as soon as the new species appeared. The entity just stood tall, suppressing itself from making any form of action.

*thud*

Sweats fell like a stream from its forehead. Its heart beating so rapidly, making it more nervous than ever as it couldn't suppress it.

Time flew so slow from its POV. He wanted to gulp yet was afraid that it could make any stimulus.

Seconds had passed, however, the two were at standstill. Until ---

*sniff, sniff*

The species on its four feet moved its nose in excitement. It had smelled something!

*gulp*, unable to hold himself, the entity released a gulp, causing a sound that echoed and reached the ears of the species.

'Shit!', thought the entity as it started rushing away from the scene

*rustle*

*rustle*

It was discovered!

The species saw the entity running away, and in certain, it wouldn't let itself suffer from hunger anymore.

It started running after the entity.

But what can the entity on its two feet do in escape from a four feet species? None.

The species run faster due to its speed advantage. Drools fell from its mouth as it run casually, enjoying the moment of chasing the powerless entity.

"Ackkkkkkk!", shouted the entity as the species was only meters away from him, and any second now, he might be caught and eaten severely by the species.

Giggling each step, the species leaped as it could now reach the entity. Opening its mouth in a wide manner, stinky drools fell from it, cleansing its prey beforehand.

'This is the end', the entity just thought as it now accepted its fate of being this species' dinner. It closed its eyes, letting itself succumb to the peace of its final existence, before going to a deep and endless slumber. But it was at this moment -

"Bow your head!", a voice echoed on the area, causing him to subconsciously lower his head in agreement.

It didn't want to die! Its subconscious told it.

*whoosh*

A gust of the wind reached his hearing. It could be from the source of the voice or the species. It didn't even bother to open its eyes yet as it was afraid of seeing a tragic scenario.

*splashh*

Something fluid splashes on it, resulting in itself being bathed with such stinky fluid.

'What is this?', the entity just thought as its heart palpitated

Seconds after, silence ensued on the area, no sound from species nor from the source of voice earlier was heard.

Until a moment later, a voice echoed again.

"It's fine now, you can open your eyes", the voice said

The entity twitched first but upon realizing that it was the same voice as earlier, it slowly opened its eyes, revealing the certain tragic scene as it expected.

The area was drenched with dark fluid, splattered on ground and trees alike.

"Ackk!", the entity twitched at the sight

Looking further for the source of this blood, it saw the species running after it, laying on the ground, breathless.

'I--- is it dead', the entity thought as it shifted its gaze to the possible cause of it, the source of the voice.

Covering his mouth from disbelief as he scanned his front, it saw an entity standing on two-foot like itself. But ---

"You are hairless?", it uttered seeing the entity before it being hairless, with only its head coated with few dark and thin hair.

"W--- wait, wait, Y-- you, you couldn't be a human, are you?", the entity uttered in confusion
