Damon gave a cry of amazement as he looked around him, his eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful sights he saw.
While he stood looking eagerly at the strange and beautiful sights, he noticed, coming towards him a group of the oddest he had ever seen. The group of 3 people consisted of a catgirl, a tiger-man and an elf all riding horses.
-"Who are you? What are you doing here?", asks the tiger-man.
Damon was surprised to hear the tiger-man talk as he looked like a real tiger in human shape.
The tiger-man raises his sword and puts it near Damon's neck.
-"I'm asking you one more time. Who are you?."
-"Relax Fang, he's with me.", announces Eleanor.
The knights were frightened when they heard her voice and kneeled down almost immediately when they saw her.
-"My deepest apologies, Grand Fairy Eleanor. I didn't see you were with him. But, if you are with a human from Earth...Did you manage to find the Paladin?", asks the tiger-man.
-"Who are you referring to as Paladin? This lowly human can barely use magic.", claims Eleanor
-"That's not a very polite way to talk about someone who took care of you for 2 weeks... Also, why is he calling you like that Eleanor?.", asks Damon
The catgirl places her dagger next to Damon's neck as if threatening him. Damon was slightly scared.
-"No one speaks to Eleanor like that. Know your place human!", yells the catgirl.
-"Luna, It's okay. He knows nothing of this world yet.", says nonchalantly Eleanor.
Luna removes her dagger while giving Damon a fierce look. Damon sighs of relief.
-"More importantly. Fang, I want you to take us to my house.", announces suddenly Eleanor.
Damon rode in the same horse as Luna, and Eleanor with Fang. The way to her house was very long and would take several hours. They had gone far before they came to a place where the ground became rough and bumpy, and there were small jagged looking rocks all about and daunting hills up and down. Fang turned suddenly aside as if he were going to walk into a large rock but at the last moment, Damon realised it was the entrance to a city. Fang pointed towards the city, "That's Sudradena."
Sudradena was nothing like Damon has ever seen. the houses and shops were huge and very tall; he wondered how Eleanor's house would look like seeing how important she is to this world. There were lovely patches of green grassland all about, with large trees bearing rich and luscious fruits. Banks of gorgeous flowers were on every hand, and birds with rare and brilliant feathers sang and fluttered in the trees and bushes. A little way off was a small brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks and dazzling vibrant flowers. As he looked up in the sky, he notices people flying in broomsticks. Damon was like a little kid and was eager to see more. When he looked down, Damon was both confused and excited.
-"So there's more than just catgirls, tiger-men and elves.", thought Damon to himself.
That's right, he saw different races left and right. There were dwarves, centaurs, goblins,... To his surprise, he didn't think he would see humans in this world too. They seemed to all coexist and live together. Minutes before they were getting out of the city, Damon notices that the fancy buildings from earlier have now turned into dilapidated ones and the people were barely wearing clothes to cover themselves. Damon never thought that people could be this poor and was grateful for what he had.
Now that they have gotten out of the city, they only had a little way to go to get to Eleanor's house.
The sun was going down and it was growing darker with every minute till becoming pitch black.
Suddenly, a group of 5 people shows up out of nowhere, all hiding their faces with a mask. They were bandits.
-"Get off your horses NOW and give us all your money.", yells one of the bandits.
They all got off their horses. Damon looked at Eleanor and she was surprisingly very calm.
-"Hey, can I fight them?", whispers Damon to Eleanor.
-"Sure." replies Eleanor
Damon slowly walks up to them and smiles.
-"What do you think you're doing? You better do as we say or you're dead!", yells one of the bandits.
-"Sorry, I didn't catch that last part. Mind repeating it again?", says Damon with a terrifying smile.
-"I said, give us your money or you're de-
-"Ignitus!", abruptly shouts Damon.
The fireball set the bandit on fire and started screaming till eventually dropping dead.
-"OH MY GOD, you killed Kenny YOU BASTARDS!", yells one of the remaining bandits
Fang and Luna and the elf were quick to get their weapons and started fighting 3 bandits.
-"You can leave these 3 to us, get the other one.", announces Fang.
-"Alright then", says Damon
-'Purraim!'
The spell that Damon used was not very strong but was enough to make the bandit lose consciousness.
It seemed the knights have finished the fight on their end.
-"What should we do with this one? He's unconscious.", asks Damon.
-"Kill him.", says Luna.
Damon got closer to him, held his hand wide open, then he started thinking about his past; his father killing his mother. The bandit noticed that Damon was hesitating and thought it was his chance to kill him. As he was slowly reaching for his dagger, Fang notices and kills him.
-"Don't space out kid, you could've died... Anyways, let's move on."
Damon was scared by how a simple mistake was going to cost him his life and swore to himself to never think about his past ever again.
-"We're here.", finally announces Eleanor.
Eleanor and Damon got off the horses and thanked the knights for giving them a ride before they left.
Her house seemed to be inside a forest. The trees were 500m tall and were covering up the whole sky. Damon was excited to see how her house looked like but was let down to see it was similar to those in the village back at Navarhaugen.
-"Come on in.", says Eleanor.
-"Woah", says Damon in astonishment.
The house was completely different from the inside. It was so much bigger and spacious than what it looked like from outside.
-"Tomorrow is the day you go to school. I'll take you there in the morning. Don't forget!", declares Eleanor.
Eleanor shows Damon his room upstairs. He was very happy to see that it was ten times bigger his bedroom from the village. They both have dinner and go to sleep.
