I Woke Up In A Completely Different World!

Lilith: "Steven? Where are you going?"

Steven: "I don"t know, I just felt like walking. You want to come?"

We whispered.

Lilith: "Uh, walking? Sure~ I"d like to."

She took some time to get ready and we walked out of the dorms onto the campus. It was cold, but we had our coats. Lilith was looking up to the partly cloudy sky as strolled along a small pathway.

Steven: "It"s nice, isn"t it?"

Lilith: "What is?"

Steven: "The sky; I never knew there could be so many stars."

Lilith: "Er—are you fine? I"m pretty sure the sky has never changed. Look, there"s a star there… and another, there."

She was pointing out the larger stars and we find a bench placed under a tree and sit down momentarily.

Steven: "Where I came from, I spent my entire life in a city, never leaving it. So, the light washes out the stars. You know what I mean, it"s the same in Shi De Emo."

Lilith: "It… is, how did you know?"

Steven: "We, uh, Rayna told me. It"s from her memory spell she used on me."

Lilith: "Oh, her again? She"s pretty amazing to be so good at magic."

Steven: "I know her spells, but she made me promise to only use them when I"m in danger. It"s kind of like our promise."

Lilith: "So, from one spell you learned many more? That"s amazing; I want to try it."

Steven: "Well, it"s not like I can use them, they use a ton of magic."

It"s probably why she doesn"t want me to use them. I could kill myself from drawing out all of my magic.

Lilith: "Enough, I understand now. Just relax for a bit."

Everyone"s favorite pastime. I"ve gotten used to the nip in the air and my attention was taken by a wolf that was sitting a good 50 yards from us, looking in our direction. His gaze was seriously fixed on us and it became unsettling enough for me to want to leave.

Steven: "You think we should go before we get attacked?"

Lilith: "I"m not afraid of a wolf, but in case he attacks, flame magic will certainly scare him off."

As we were about to get up, I felt a sting at the back of my neck. I removed the culprit and it was a small wooden toothpick shaped dart. Fast-acting, I turned behind me and realized our attacker was somewhere in the bushes behind us.

Lilith: "Oh… shi…"

Lilith was the first to collapse, dropping straight to the floor, and it suddenly dawned on me that we were hit with some kind of poison. It worked through her small body quickly, and I was soon to follow.

Steven: "Lilith!?"

I fell onto my knees and see 3 people walk out of the bushes. I was too slow and I couldn"t cast a spell on retaliation before I fell to my knees. Everything faded, and I fell unconscious. Time flew, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up to Lilith rocking my body.

Lilith: "Steven! Wake up!"

Every crevice of my body ached as I sat up. It would"ve been impossible to tell where we were at if Lilith hadn"t used a lighting spell. We were confused but we had enough sense to figure out that we were in some sort of cell.

Lilith was sitting next to me with her lip busted; the cut was still fresh but the bleeding had stopped.

Steven: "Your lip…"

Lilith: "I know. I think I fainted, I don"t remember anything."

I reached my hand out and offered to use a healing spell. She grabbed my hand and placed it over the wounded area and a few seconds later her wound cleared up and slowly faded.

Lilith: "Thanks."

With my focus starting to divert, I realized we were screwed. We were in a dimly lit room with just a single candle, no windows, stone walls, cold stone floor, and a large iron door.

We had to be in some kind of prison, a dungeon perhaps.

Captor #1: "Itan efkolo na tous apagagete."

(It was easy to kidnap them.)

We got closer to the door, trying to understand what was being said on the other side. It was almost difficult to make anything out. Whoever they are, they were whispering and speaking in a language I"ve never heard of before.

Lilith: "The old language? Oh no, we have to get out."

Steven: "s.h.i.t, what? Slow down and tell me what"s going on!"

Lilith: "We were kidnapped, idiot!"

A loud thunderous smack against the iron door forced us into silence.

Captor #1: "Are you lovebirds awake now?"

We stayed silent, cautious that we could put ourselves in a worse situation. The door banged a couple more times and Lilith prepares herself for a fight, hoping the door would open.

Captor #2: "No, your tranquilizer might"ve killed them."

Captor #1: "Adynato, (Impossible) I dipped only the tip of my darts."

Lilith places her hands on the doors and entered what appeared to be a meditative-like stance. I sat in the corner nearby and waited. When she was done, she backs away and gasps as if she had been holding her breath the entire time.

Lilith: "I don"t sense them anymore."

Steven: "How can things go from easy to f.u.c.ked up so fast?"

She casts Candlelight, placing it in the middle of the room and giving us much needed light to see our surroundings.

Lilith: "I… we need to escape, but we may have to fight. So~ you know?"

Steven: "Unless you absolutely have to. We both know we might have to."

Lilith: "We can"t escape right now. We need to time this right. With a bit of luck, we might be able to sneak out."

Steven: "Our luck hasn"t been playing out so well for us, Lilith."

I had half a mind to use explosion magic before my reasoning kicked in. The room was too small, and we could both get seriously injured. I could cast Slashed Winds, but I could pa.s.s out before getting anywhere.

Lilith: "What should we do?"

Steven: "You know transportation magic, don"t you?"

Lilith: "Yes, but I need a blood sacrifice… and a knife."

Steven: "What about communication magic?"

Lilith: "I"m half-Demon, Light spells hurt me."

Steven: "I thought magic didn"t have restrictions."

Lilith: "That would be nice. I could use Light, and High Elves could use Dark."

Steven: "No, we"re getting sidetracked, do we really have to wait for help?"

Lilith: "Until someone returns. Once that door opens, we can begin our escape immediately."

She sits next to me and I could see her shivering. I offered her my cardigan and she puts out her hand to stop me.

Lilith: "Wait, I have a better idea."

She grabs ahold of my hand and uses the other to cast a spell. Clenching her fist into a ball, her magic warms her body before it moves over to me and the cold room becomes comfortable.

Steven: "Oh! I"m warm all over!"

Lilith: "Young Mi taught me this spell. It"s Flame Cloak, but a watered-down version of it. She said it also uses next to no magic, so I"ll be fine for a while."

Of course, who else would know a spell that keeps you warm?

Lilith: "So… p.a.w.n to E-3?"

Steven: "Chess? Alright, p.a.w.n to D-6."
