Hey guys! So how did you like the intro? I'm thinking about doing a lore chapter about the Dragonskins to shed some light on the current situation. ANYWAYS! INTO the story!

Rift's POV

Ahhhh........ The Void. Such a relaxing place to go to think. Considering the fact no one can interrupt my thoughts. I used to come here all the time. Then with my luck, I hear something that DOES interrupt my thoughts. The heck? What is that noise? I realize it's........voices. Familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I hear Laurence and Garroth. I know their voices, but I don't hear Red Cape. Then who else is with them? Time to snoop. As I think these thoughts, I push them away as I am surrounded by my aura, indicating I was invisible, a scene unfolds before me. Still got the touch. Now focus so you can hear them. I struggle to keep the scene around me as I'm not at my greatest strength. It seems that I'm underground. They are in a room that seems to lead into other rooms. A room full of chest adjacent to it, and some stairs leading upwards. I can barely keep everything running smoothly so I could spy on them. I'll manage somehow.

"What are you talking about Zoey? What IS she then?" Laurence inquires worriedly.

"I don't know! Honestly I've never felt such a presence before! I don't know WHAT she is, but where could she get such injuries without someone wanting her dead!?" An elf woman who likes a leafy green apparently, with yellowish, blonde hair, asks clearly distressed.

"I don't care WHAT she is or WHO'S is after her! We need to help her! We would do the same for anyone else wouldn't we?!" A woman with black hair, who clearly likes the color purple, says with the voice louder than the rest.

She must be the leader, right? She has the aura of a respected leader. Just then everything shook, resulting with the image fading. No! I need to know what they plan on doing with me! I struggle, putting myself in even more pain than before, to get the image back. No! Please! Ugh......this hurts even worse now, I'm too weak to keep this up. Heck I don't know how much longer I can remain in the Void! Even if it is like my second nature! I've got to wake up! Putting every ounce of my power forth, I try with all of my might and that's a lot, to just wake up. My efforts pay off, as my eyes throw open, releasing me from the comforting darkness. I.....am.....ha.......ugh....exhausted. Suddenly, interrupting my thoughts, someone walks in the room.

"Ack! She's awake quick everyone come here!" The woman known as Zoey shouts rather loudly if you ask me.

"What?! Are you serious?! Let me see!" Garroth replies before walking in the room.

Really? They act like children. I mean who wants to see someone they met earlier in the woods who was covered in injuries? Humans are weird. Soon enough they were by the nest they put me on. Ooh......this nest is soft. It's not made out of hay or sticks, quite comfy if I do think so myself. As I try to sit up, my left leg feels as though it was stabbed 100 times, burned with the hottest coals to ever be seen, and poured the Healing Waters on it 15 times. "Gah! Which one of you stabbed me?!" I cry out in pain.

"Number one, none of us stabbed you. Number two, I could have told you that was a bad idea from the start. Now lie back down, you need to rest so you can heal." Zoey chides me.

Okay, one she's sarcastic so she's cool, two that's not how one has to heal. You have to suck it up and get back on track with your day. I pay no attention to her as, since I'm me, I continue to get up, writhing in even more pain. They all stood back in awe as I proceeded to get up. My injuries, my rules you fools. After I successfully sit up, I then turn to go stand up, but before I could, Laurence and Garroth push me down gently so that I was lying down again. Just who do you think you are! Let me go! I squirm as they hold me down so I don't get back up.

"Hold on there! Easy! You aren't going anywhere until you heal and tell us who you are." Garroth says as he's trying to calm me down.

Stupid! I can't get better unless you let me up! Also there is NO way I'm going to tell you who I am! Me being me, I say in between struggles,"Ha! Dream on! You won't be able to get me to talk! There is no way I am telling you anything! Now let me go so I can get up and recover!" They are shocked once all of those words escape my mouth and then ease their grip on my wrists. Now's my chance! I then execute a class 4 speed 2 back roll after breaking free from them at my sides. I'm now on my feet and having a stand off with two guards of sorts with two women in the background panicking. I jump off the soft nest and remain on my feet no matter how much it hurts.

"Now come on now. Let's think this through. You obviously are in pain as you stand up. So why not lay back down." Garroth says like he's talking to a child."I don't want to hurt you any more than you already are."

"Why should I? I don't even know if you can be trusted!" I yell backing into a corner. Don't you all know it's bad to back the predator into a corner? It'll just make you become the prey. I bring my fists up ready to fight. Even that one small movement makes the pain triple. I grimace at the amount, but of course, me being me, the one who was always getting into fights and always won, that side has never died, unlike my home, and so I raise my fists one last time and looked straight at those icy eyes, and the words escaped my mouth.

"Bring it on."
