Hello visitor.
You are warped to another dimension. You look up and notice that only dark clouds fill the sky. There is nothing living from what you can see. The trees are barren and rotted, the ground is hard and dusty. The only thing that haunts the sky is a raven flying toward a mountain. "Where am I?" you ask yourself.
"You are in Yominokuni," a voice calls from behind.
You jump and spin around to see a young girl with 'wings? And a sword?' "Yomeenaguni?"
The 'girl' chuckles. "Land of the Dead."
'Land? of the ... dead?!?!' "W-who are you?" you nervously inquire.
The girl smirks. "You needn't know that ... just yet. Now let me ask you some questions. I can tell you're obviously ningen. How did you get here?"
"I don't know how I got here, honestly."
The girl looks confused. "Nani? You don't know?" She lets out an exasperated sigh. "Ningen really know nothing," she mumbles. "Ahem. You got here because you wished it so."
You gape at her. "But how could I wish myself here?? I don't even know where or what this place is! How can I possibly just 'wish' myself here?"
The girl sighed again. This was going to be a long day. "Those who feel miserable or unhappy subconsciously think so, and when they reach the point where they begin to wish they were anywhere but where they are, they appear here."
You look around the two of you. "But there's nothing here. How can anyone survive?"
The girl glares at you. "Enough. You ask too many questions. Come with me and I'll help you settle in." She starts off.
Seeing that there was no choice but to follow her, you agree and run to catch up.
�main::
You near a small town, barely visible, with dim lights and dark-colored buildings. There are no streets, but dirt paths. What looks like a hovercraft speeds past you, running faster than an average car. 'What ... ?'
"A zoomer." The girl replies. It's almost as if she's read your mind. She continues. "The technology here surpasses that of Earth and we are much more advanced." You nod your head. "Here," she waves her hand around, indicating the town, "is where I live. This is the vampyr town in Yominokuni, known as Tsukiyo. It is the main town in this region. You'll be staying here with me ... for a while. Better get used to it."
You nod again. "Alright."
The girl smiles. "Well then, let's go meet some people."
You near a caf�. She leads you inside and sits down at a table, gesutring for you join her. Taking the seat across from her, a waiter arrives. "Hey, Krash. What'll it be?" he asks the girl.
"A coffee and pure water for the ningen, Haku." she replies.
The waiter scribbles down the order and glances at you. "A ningen? What is s/he doing here?" Haku asks the girl, Krash.
"New," is her reply.
"Ah, I see. Gonna take him/her to the Dragoness?"
"You bet."
The waiter leaves and the girl Krash turns to you. "I'm guessing you know my name by now." You nod. "Let me give you a formal introduction. Krash is my nickname. My real name is Mitsukai Hitori, or Kai for short." She holds out her clawed hand. "I prefer Krash."
"It's nice to meet you, Krash." You hesitantly shake the offered hand. "And thanks for helping me."
"No problem."
The waiter returns with the drinks and sets them down. "Here ya go."
"Thanks, Haku. Just put it on my tab."
Haku looks at her with an amused stare. "You know you're going to have to eventually pay that tab, right?"
She waves him away. "I know, I know!" She hands you your water. "Sorry it's not anything better, but I doubt you'd like any of the regular drinks." She shows you her 'coffee.' "It's blood with sugar, basically."
You gulp.
She laughs and says, "Remember, you're in a vampyr town."
You gulp again. "Oh, right."
She downs her drink. "Well don't just sit there; finish your water."
You chug it down.
"Good. Let's get going, then. It's time for you to meet the Dragoness."
�dragoness::
Krash leads you out of the caf� and back into the barren street. She begins walking and you walk next to her. "Who's the Dragoness?" you ask.
Krash smiles slowly. "The Dragoness, is the ruler of these parts. She is evil, admittedly, like me, and is a collector of several fascinating little toys."
You stop walking.
She laughs. "Don't worry. You're not a sacrifice or anything. And I won't hurt you, so come on."
You swallow the sudden lump in you throat and continue on.
"Oh, I almost forgot." You look at her. "She's also my best friend."
You swallow again and think of what Krash and the Dragoness would do in their free time. Like, say, innocently kidnapping clueless beings off the streets and experimenting on them with their 'little toys.'
You walk for a little while longer until you come upon a high mountain.
"She lives up there?" You ask increduously.
"Yep." She begins to run up the mountain, reaching the top in a matter of seconds.
"Wait!" You call after her. After about ten minutes, you finally meet up with her ... You seem to be at the opening of a large cave. "D-does she live ... in there??"
"Where else would a dragon live? Now, hurry. We're late."
She goes in, disappearing into the darkness, and you reluctantly follow. 'Oh, God, I'm gonna die ...'
Krash's voice is heard up ahead, gradually becoming louder. "I told you not to worry. Now let's go."
You feel a hand on your arm and nearly jump out of your skin. The hand grips your arm and drags you forward. 'I AM gonna die ...'
"Ike, will you shut up, ningen?" It's Krash, and she leads you into a larger cavern.
"About time you got here." A chilling voice calls.
Startled, you jump behind Krash. "This damn ningen takes too long," she growls, and walks further into the cavern with you cowering behind her ... that is, until she shoves you forward. You stand there, unable to see anything. Suddenly, torches come to life, bringing light into the ... room?
"Wow ..." No longer afraid, you look around you, marveling at the clean stone walls, elegant furs covering the floor, and seemingly comforable sofas and couches, with throw pillows on each one. Looking above, you nearly die when you see the magnificent mural painted on the ceiling ... it's of dragons flying lazily about in a sunset sky. "That's so ..."
"Nice, isn't it?" A figure walks toward you. You can't see her face until a cute little floating light hovers around her head.
To be continued.
