The world around Eloa dimmed of color and slowed. What? Everything was black and white, no one moved. Cautiously, Eloa lifted a hand and stared at it. She retained her color. She looked about, taking a few steps in a circle. She could move. Eloa had moved to one of the colorless, still figures and was about to touch when-<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Oh? A new presence?"</span><br/><br/>Her touched shied away and she looked for the source of the voice. There! A figure in..robes? Was it wearing a mask? Eloa simply starred, fidgeting with her hands. It was coming towards her!<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Observe."</span><br/><br/>He. He sounded like a man. He walked like a man. He was walking...towards her! Wait. Observe? Observe wha-<br/><br/>WHAT IS THAT? A floating box? It wasn't moving. Eloa's eyes widened. She went to touch it before the figure appeared before her. She jumped, startled and looked up to him. Was he some kind of..sorcerer??<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Hmmm, interesting... You're the first I haven't been able to read in a long time,"</span><br/><br/>He had a nice timber to his voice. It was warm, despite the scary get up. He, Eloa now thought of him as a man and would continue to do so unless told otherwise, held out his hand to her. Should she take it?<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"My name is Sho Kaga, or Jack if it is easier for you to say. I am the Lord and Director of this City. Welcome to the City of Citadel, M'lady."</span><br/><br/>Did he know she was nobility? Eloa took his hand with trepidation. The Black and white around her returned to normal and she jumped, startled, along with everyone else around them. Except this man, this Sho Kaga.<br/><br/>"Eloa." He spoke her language, despite that odd box being in one she did not understand. Eloa pulled her hand from the masked man, she couldn't take her eyes from it. "What....what are you?" Surely he was human. But, did..did he bring all of<span style="font-style: italic">this</span>into her world?
