"You are more helpless than I had originally thought. How could you not see that?" Zhen says with a smirk as he watches me swing back and forth miserably. "Can we talk about this once I'm right side up? The blood rushing to my head is making it hard to think straight."
Zhen snorts and a gust of wind suddenly hits the rope holding me up. With a snap, I'm suddenly falling down headfirst. Another gust of wind hits me, slightly lessening my blow as I hit the ground with a grunt.
"Oww..." I say rolling over onto my back while holding my head. Zhen's face comes into view as he looks down at me with a frown. "You're worse than a pup! How have you survived until now?" I give him a glare and slowly sit up while saying "My world isn't like this okay!?"
Zhen shakes his head and says "We have a lot of work ahead of us. You'll be much better when I get done with you!" I frown at him and ask "What's wrong with the way that I am?" Zhen's face drops as he turns to give me a look of disbelief.
"If you don't become stronger, you won't last a week here in THIS world. Didn't you say you were on the run from someone?" Zhen says while walking away. I get up and dust myself off as I quickly follow him. What he says is true... "Yeah... I wonder if he's still looking for me though? I'm pretty sure he'd give up by now." I say with a nod.
Zhen turns to me with a smirk saying "Are you willing to bet your life on that assumption?" I blink several times before I quickly shake my head saying "No, he's kinda odd... and he has an even weirder lackey." Zhen nods and says "Then it's time to become stronger! I will help you!"
I smile and say "Thank you, Zhen... I really appreciate it." Zhen snorts but he just keeps walking without saying anything. I guess I made him uncomfortable... We walk even longer but this time we're walking through the woods so the ground was uneven.
Just as I was going to ask him how much longer, a large mountainside comes into view. "Wow... it's huge!" I say looking at the large mountain. Zhen nods and says "I only like the best! Follow me." I quickly snap out of it and continue walking but as I look around the mountainside, I can't help be in awe.
This is how a mountain should look! I'm mentally taking notes but when I look back to Zhen I can't see him! Where did he go!? I begin quickly looking around with panic but I can't see him... how fast was he? "Zhen?" I call out with uncertainty.
Suddenly Zhen pops his head out of the side of the mountain! "I told you to follow me! Where is your head?" I blink several times in confusion before my brain suddenly catches up. "Another illusion..." I say looking at it in awe.
Zhen nods as his head quickly disappears again. I take a step forward but pause at the wall... this was so cool! I reach out and gently touch the wall but my hand goes straight through. With a large smile, I walk straight through the wall and into the largest cave I've ever seen.
This. Is. Insane! Several piles of gold sit in messy piles all over the large cave but as I walk further in, I see that it isn't just gold... it's jade of all kinds! Further in, you see clothes of all shapes and sizes with musical instruments! Everywhere you look has something new and shiny... I really like shiny.
Always have, always will! As I walk further in, I see what looks like a small kitchen and off to the back holds a super large bed covered in large pillows and fluffy white blankets. "Wow... Zhen, this is amazing!" I say while spinning around.
Zhen was currently digging in a large chest made of wood and gold. He snorts and says "This is one of my smaller caves, if you like it so much, you can have it." I come to a sudden stop with large shocked eyes.
