Start of a new path

{ Where am I?? }

Feeling hazy,dizzy and weak I opened my eyes, and to my surprise, I who was asleep in my room somehow whole up in the middle of a forest at night time

" The hell?!! "

Shaken in horror I hurriedly stood up and looked here and there to confirm that I was infact inside a forest a damn big one at that , surrounded by nothing but trees of about 20 meters tall ,they were frickin tall!!

Panicking I grabbed my hair and had a mental break down as I shouted

" DID I GOT KIDNAPPED!! HUH? "

Feeling something on my back, I turned around and looked at the sword that was on my back ,and after looking at myself, I found that I was wearing clothes that was of the mediaeval period ,unfashionable as hell

" A sword? And what kind of rags am I wearing ?!! "

Unable to grasp my feelings and panic I took

a deep breaths and after 2 minutes I barely calmed my nerves and started to think as I sat down on the grass

{ First, let's calm down .I am in a forest, it's unlikely but wild animals are probably around I shouldn't make noise}" Ah!(had a sudden realisation) "{ They can still smell me (annoyed) well anyhow ,(grabs the sword and drew it out of its custom sheath that was designed for being able to allow for a sword to be drawn out from the back )"

*Shiing*

" WOAH "

Looking at the blade that seemed sharp and sturdy I exclaimed my excitement

" This is ....a sword? "

I have never seen a real sword back at my town, although I often saw my culture's handblade I've never seen a real battlesword, so as a teenager who loves fantasy games and stories.I couldn't help but glance at the blade,and then I got another realisation as I saw the reflection of the moon, no ,moons from the sword's body

"{ 3 scenarios are likely in a situation like this, 1 - I've been kidnapped and someone is toying with me ,2 - I'm having a really realistic dream (pinched himself to confirm that this isn't a dream) okay 2's out!,(sighs) 3 - I've been transported to another freaking world (looks up at the 2 moons)}

Holy shit! "

Roaaaarrrr

In the beautiful fantastic starry night sky litted up by the 2 beautiful blue moons ,I saw a white dragon, no I really freaking saw a white dragon and it just flew past above me and following it was the wind trails it left behind

SWEEEEESH!!

" AAAA!!!! "

The powerful shockwaves of the winds created by the dragon that flew by at supersonic speed blew me off the ground ,threw me up and got me crashed onto one of the uselessly tall trees

" Garrgh!! "

Spitting out blood I fell hard on the ground and got paralysed, my vision started to get blurred out, it felt like I broke my legs and atleast a few ribs ,the sword was next to me as i blacked out

***

Pain just pain, my organs felt hurt and my head felt like it was on fire, my legs that seemed to be broken were still broken but it felt like it was put inside a cast and tied tightly

Feeling the sunlight hitting my face I woke up

" Urrg! "

I saw an old looking ceiling, gathering my thoughts i looked around and found that I was inside a hut rather respectable one considering how clean and well kept it was, and the owner seemed to be some kind of herbalist, healer, or atleast some kind of researcher considering how many wierd looking plants and insects were in various containers at the doorless cupboard across the bed I was out on

" It doesn't hurt?? "{ it seems I've been put under anaesthesia ,but I'm awake}" painkillers?? "

Creaaak

The door creaked open , feeling the wind i turned towards the opened door with much caution

I widened my eyes

" WOAH! "

" Hmm? Oh you're awake! "

Beautiful, that was the only thing I could use to describe the young woman infront of my eyes, who seemed to be the same age as me, having long auburn hair that reached her waist, red eyes that looked like the crimson blood moon, white skin akin to snow and tall with a wonderfully proportionate body, wearing a long white coat atop her formal attire that still looked mediaeval.

" Hello? Are you okay "

Snapping out of my trance I replied

" u..umm yeah ,just a bit spooked "

The woman smiled in relief and replied warmly

" Then it's all good, you were unconcious for 2 days mister, you were unlucky that the dragon hunt went your direction ".

Hearing the word 'Dragon hunt' my scenario problems was instantly solved

{ It really is another world } " Ahem so(Looks at himself) How am I doing miss? When will I recover enough to be able to repay you ?"

The young girl chuckled and went to the desk and brought a powder

" it's not me who saved you, the prince who was leading the dragon hunt brought you here out of guilt so don't worry mister... ah i nearly forgot, I'm Shizela ,16 year old palace doctor assistant, may i know your name mister swordsman ?".

She kindly asked while putting the powder medicine next to the table near me

Looking at her in the eyes i replied with a bit of trouble due to my injuries

" I'm called Chhan, and I'm 17 years old, not a swordsman but an aspiring scholar(he's technically a highschool student), it's nice to meet you miss Shizela".

Shizela looked back at my face and replied with a hearty tone of cheerfulness

" Welcome to Elkana castle elder Chhan ,now please eat this medicine (brought the powder to my mouth and i swallowes it without much protest) still an aspiring scholar carrying a sword at that time and place is rather funny hehe ".

" Umm(nodded){Bitte- hmm?}(could felt his wounds and injuries heal already, and strangely blue light emanated from his whole body) W..what?"

His broken bones already felt a nearly healed

Shizela smiled in satisfaction and stood back up

" Wait here I'll go and get my master "

With that she left the hut without closing the door and through the door I saw something beyond what I thought I, a person from northeast India would ever see in my whole human life

A castle , literally out of the cartoons and animes that I would watch as a kid right infront of my eyes , beautiful beyond words, and to make it better i could see people flying on brooms and Shizela herself flying towards the castle on one

Stuck in a moment of trance again due to the dreamy feelings that could not be described with words i kept looking at the dream like scene

" ...shit! "
