Second Act - The Real Beginning

"So you're finally awake," a sweet voice echoed in my ears, pulling me from my long sleep. As my vision cleared, I saw a beautiful woman with short orange hair and eyes. 

She wore a brown leather jacket, similar to those seen in fantasy movies. Around her neck hung green gems that radiated a faint, powerful energy.

A bow, crafted from some kind of ancient wood, was slung across her back, along with arrows tipped with green gems.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"As expected of a greenhorn," she sighed, treating me like I was an idiot, which really didn't sit well with me.

"I said where am I? Answer me," I demanded, using my suggestion ability on her.

"Idiot, do you think your mind control will work on me?" she sneered with contempt.

Before I could react, she slapped me hard across the face. The impact was so powerful it felt like being hit by a train, sending me crashing against the wall with a resounding thud.
