Someplace far away from here, a place existed. Somewhere that was different. It was a part of many worlds; countless places existed in the universe, but what set these aside was how they mingled with each other. Edges slipped into each other's own, forming gaps into each other. It had been happening for thousands of years...<br/><br/>Sometimes, people would perchance across these gaps, and end up in different places. This is the story of one of them, and his adventures...<br/><br/>===============================================<br/><br/>It was early afternoon. The trip from Nottingnorth had taken them the entire morning to get down; not an easy task. But it was downhill, so there was nothing to complain about.<br/><br/>Neil felt odd at being alone in such a big expanse of land. He couldn't remember anything of his past, save his name a one or two fuzzy details. His short black hair had become slightly unkempt, and he had loosened a button or two on his white shirt.<br/><br/>From what he had known, he did not belong here. Everything was foreign to him. None of it fit in his memory. For about a month after recovering from a head injury, he had wandered the small village of Nottingnorth that served as the only place of refuge he had.<br/><br/>About a few days ago, he became aware of something in the library; across the ocean on another continent, some distant kingdom had described something that confounded their understanding. They also described ancient runes underground, creatures that defied everything they knew, and "unspeakable happenings".<br/><br/>Neil had not made sense of it, but Elizabeth had remembered an oracle existed on a smaller continent somewhere south in the middle of the ocean. Perhaps it could answer his questions...<br/><br/>So today, they had set off to the small oceanside town of Tolham to find a ship. It was the first time he was leaving the place he had been accustomed to, and his caretakers Elizabeth and Sarah were accompanying him. Someone needed to guide him through this strange world, and keep him company. Both had unanimously agreed on that.<br/><br/>They had just reached the foot of the mountain, the town gates ahead of them. The smell of fish and saltwater reached their nostrils as the city streets criscrossed downwards towards the oceanside. Not a lot of people wandered the streets of this part of town.<br/><br/>Neil was silent not sure what to say. A lot of questions raced through his mind, but he had a hard time deciding what he would ask. He slightly wandered closer to Elizabeth out of habit, his new surroundings slightly daunting.<br/>
