Synopsis

The Faeries Ferry

A Young Man is Running through the woods. His pale skin caked in mud as the world seems to Shudder and a loud roar can be heard as something seems to be causing a violet tear in the sky that emanates a fierce magical pressure. It causes him to stumble and lose his balance for a moment as he finally reaches a small clearing and gets a clear view of the strange occurrence.

What appears to be a Large Ship slowly emerges from the Violet Gash. The young man watches in Shock, Awe, Fear, even Curiosity as The ship slowly makes progress and eventually it finally comes loose from the Violet Gash and begins to fall. It crashes against the dirt and gouges a deep trench into the middle of the forest knocking aside trees and sending the wildlife into a frenzy as they rush to evade the danger.

The young man hurriedly clambers over a mound of dirt and watches as the ship overturns trees and ruins the peaceful landscape of this gentle forest. He approaches the now settled ship. He sprints along the Trench his breathing ragged from both his excitement and the fact that he had been running ever since he first spotted the violet Gash in the sky.

He arrives close enough to the ship to hear Voices speaking in a foreign language. He begins to inspect the hull of the ship, as it amazes him that something this massive can fly for any duration of time, and he realizes that it's covered in hundreds of strange glowing symbols and after a moment of being captivated by the way that they would shimmer with a myriad of colors he realized that these were runes.

The young man noticed that along the hull were deep violet Impressions that resembled claw or talon marks that seemed to have been left behind by some kind of beast. As he was trying to envision the creature that left those marks he heard a voice that seemed to be speaking to him.

"Hello there Stranger, do you understand me? and if so, I'd like to ask that you refrain from touching anything down there" A small head with a monocle and white hair styled into 3 braids that meet behind the neck popped over the edge of the ship and smiled at the young man "It seems we'll be here awhile so I'd like to get introductions out of the way. You can call me Harlow, As everyone does"

"Well in that case, Hello there Harlow, you can call me Yor'an." He introduced himself before asking "Where are you From?"

Harlow Smiled "I come from a place you couldn't reach with anything less than a wish spell" He refused to elaborate further

Yor'an was confused for awhile before simply deciding to ignore that statement as he didn't understand what it meant.

"If you're going to be here awhile you should follow me back to the estate Harlow, let me introduce you to someone who can get you all sorted out"

"Well it'd be rude of me to refuse such a kind offer, Thank you for the help Yor'an"
