<div style="text-align: center;">At first everything was silent, at least to the sleeping figure that was laying in the grass in the park that was a little bit away from the walled city. He couldn't hear the people talking to each other, the sounds of the birds and animals that were around. The gentle sound of a breeze rushing by, the trickling of the river not too far away. However, he was soon to be shaken out of his stupor by the sounds of dogs barking, but was not fully waken until he was poked by a stick in his side.<br/><br/>Slowly, his eyes open, squinting at first due to the sun that was shining in his eyes. His entire self felt sore, but numb at the same time. A voice reaches his ears, the words muffled, but he could just make out what was being said. His brows press together, as he completely opens his eyes now, a bright, deep forest green, almost unnatural in shade were his eyes, to see a woman kneeling next to him, with two dogs next to her. And not just any woman, a human woman.<br/><br/>"I'm...I'm awake..." He mumbles, just barely loud enough to even be heard. Raising a hand to his forehead, he slowly sits up, glancing all around him. This...wasn't how he remembered things being when he was last here...Spotting the walled city, his eyes narrow, and a frown forms on his lips. That DEFINITELY hadn't been there before...What was going on? How long had he been asleep?<br/><br/>A rush of wind brushes past, shifting through his hair so it slid away from his face, revealing red markings on his cheeks and across his forehead. However, this mattered not to him. He wanted to know where he was, and what exactly was going on. Not knowing made him uncomfortable.<br/><br/>Hesitantly, due to his nature of being untrustworthy of strangers and any that weren't his own kind, he turns his eyes to the woman once again, pausing before speaking to her, his voice having the strangest of accents, one that had not been heard for the longest of times.<br/><br/>"Where am I? Who are you?"<br/><br/>After speaking these words, he slowly gets up off the ground, his legs a little shaky, his body weak. It felt as if he'd not used his limbs for an eternity, they were like jelly, unsteady and trembling. But he was not going to let it hinder him, he felt unsafe just laying there on the ground, with people all around, the ones he'd seen were all humans. Which confused him. Where had all the elves gone? Surely they weren't just gone...right?<br/><br/>In his haze of having just woken, he was forgetting critical pieces of information, which no doubt he would soon come to remember, but only time would tell when that would happen.</div>
