He had thought to be the one in control, though, not to be just a random part of... it.<br/>There were no words to describe what happened. All he knew for certain was that the forest faded and a city of some kind came in its place. But if that had been all, he could have lived with it, wouldn't feel so overwhelmed. So insignificant.<br/><br/>Not just the world -and his place in that world- changed, but also his body. It hurt, shifting, realigning, reprogrammed. Bioware. His magic dwindled until it was a whisper in the back of his mind. In return, though, implants formed on and inside, granting him access to a secondary world that seemed to be floating information. It was everywhere. And it knew everything.<br/><br/>As he hadn't watched the others he had thought to be his group, he didn't notice who was or was not effected by something his implants called a teleportation. Alternative reality? Time travel? All this new input made his head spin. He hadn't forgotten anything, but he had also just received understanding of a world he hadn't been born in.<br/><br/>Had he screamed? Or had his anguish gone unnoticed?<br/><br/>Around him, he found, the city kept buzzing, moving as if nothing had happened. So many different races. Gods only knew what he would find here.<br/><hr/><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Setting Change</div><div class="spoiler_body">The path winds and any and all find themselves in a city, though this certainly is not Feria.<br/><br/>The new setting is Science Fiction (City).<br/>New characters have been born (or manufactured!) in this setting.
