Chapter 2 - 2 Unknown lands

"Aghhh" screamed Alex as he rubbed his eyes, feeling a burning sensation making him flinch in pain.

"Why did I have to stare at the bright light like some 2 year old, am I stupid or something" cursed Alex as he though he had become blind, but after a few second of cursing himself and feeling scared he felt the pain slowly go away and his vision returning a bit he let a sight of relief.

"At least I'm not going blind"

Thinking positively about escaping becoming blind in the most stupid way posible he formed a relived smile and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with is forearm when he felt that his arm was heavier and noticed he was holding something.

"Strange I don't remember carrying anything with me" though himself as his vision finally recovered.

He glanced at his arm to look what he was holding before frowning in disbelief.

"Why the hell im I holding a sword!?" In his hand he held what it seems to be a sword around 3 foot long, with no ornaments or design, just a metal guard and a some leather on the grip to make it easier to hold.

As he kept looking at the sword in his hand he notice his forearms cover in what it looked like some kind of leather protector.

"What is this, a gauntlet?, why am I wearing this?"

He looked at what it seemed to be a leather gauntlet before he look toward his other arm finding a similar one in his other arm, then as if he already knew the answer he looked down on his body as his heart began to beat faster and a tingle of fear started forming in his mind.

"Ha haha ha" Alex let a hollow laugh as he stared at his body in disbelief "armor… why I'm wearing armor?"

He was wearing a chest breastplate made of leather that covered his entire chest and back, thick pants that were tightly held by what it looked like a belt toolbox where the sword scabbard is, together with a leather porch and a small water pouch, he was wearing some kind of boots that went all the way to half his thighs.

Alex stared in disbelief while wondering what was going on and why was he wearing armor, his mind was working at full capacity when he just froze.

He slowly began to raise his head until he looked at what was in front of him and try to laugh at the plain impossibility of the situation.

"

A dessert, I am in a dessert"

He could not believe his eyes as he looked at the horizon just to see nothing but rocks and sand for miles with what it looked like mountains at the end, no a tree to see, just some bushes and some kind of long thin plant that resemble a cactus but thinner and longer.

Panic began to take control of Alex mind as his heart was beating faster and louder at each passing second, his mind beginning to to think what could had happen and how he ended in such a place as his breathing became sharper and shorter making him unable to think straight.

Suddenly the taste of blood began to spread inside Alex mouth, he has bitten the side of his tough dealing a bit of pain that help him clear his thoughts.

"Wheeze" "Huff" Alex began taking long deep breaths and slowly letting out trying to calm his nerves.

"Calm down, panic will just make it worse" he said to himself as he began to plan what to do in his already bad situation.

"I'm in some kind of dessert terrain while dress in what it looks like some kind of full leather armor and armed with a sword with no idea of where may I be ….Shit!" Where do I began to retort the situation I'm in.

"I was going on my way to work when a shiny light almost make me a salted fish and when I though I dodge that bullet I found myself looking like the next leader of the thieves guild and now I'm standing in the dessert biome, what I'm I supposed to do? punch the sand and see if I found temple? in the fi-

"What the hell is going on where I am"

"Ahh my eyes can see"

"Mom where are you mom"

"My eyes feels like they are melting"

Alex froze where he was standing as he started hearing voices on his back, "there is no way right, it's definitely not what I think that is right,"

Slowly turning around and looking at it was making noises Alex couldn't believe what he was seeing, "hahahaha" a laugh began to leave his mouth as he felt that this was the last bail on the coffin.

"Just how many are here" a singe though pass through his mind as he couldn't believe it, there were peoples behind him, but that was not what surprised him but the sheer amount, thousand upon thousand of them where standing a few feet behind him, many calling for their relatives while others screaming in pain like his before and some even crying as mass panic was staring to form.

Alex stared at the mass as he recollected his thoughts "there is no way I won't notice a group that big behind me and even if I did why did I not heard them talk or scream from pain when I got here?, was I the first one since I am in front of them?"

Many though were passing in his mind as he stared at them when notice that they where all wearing the same armor as him as well as carrying weapons.

"They are armed and have the same armor, I have a bad dealing about this" his gut was telling him something was wrong….. or well as wrong as this situation he was in could get, as he kept looking at the group of people in front of him.

Situation was now out of control as multiple people were getting on brawls or weeping on the floor while calling for their parents, other were beginning to move away from the rest in grou-.

"Wait, moving away in groups?" Alex could see some groups where either isolated or behind others which he found weird, quickly looking around for something he could get on top of he found a relatively tall rock which he got on top of and started looking at the mass before confirming his gut feeling.

"It's hard to see from the ground and also since they started moving but the shape still remained" murmured himself as looking at what it seems like a formation, two groups on the front with shields and spears followed by one groups of what it looked like archers.

"That settled it" though Alex as he looked the opposite way of the mass of people before staring at one point near the rock he was standing.

"This is an army" the word felt like they weighed more that 10 tons as he said it while keeping his sight on the same spot.

"And from the looks of it we are ready to fight" ignoring the background noises he keep staring at the same spot, making shape of what it looks like a footprint, around 3 feet long and has 3 sharp claws like holes in the front.

Alex felt his throat drying as he let a small laugh.

" And it looks like it not humans what we are fighting".
