A young boy with bright red hair standing over her. "Hi! I'm Yan!" he shouted excitedly as Anna opened her eyes. Anna screamed and jumped back.
"What! What the hell!" she exclaimed as she scrambled backwards against the tree. The boy was wearing a black robe of some kind, he could not have possibly been more then five or ten, yet he had a sword as big as himself strapped to his back. And why were they in the middle of a forest?
"Master!" Yan turned and yelled over his shoulder. "The girl's awake."
"Good" Yan stepped back and a young man, who looked about eighteen, with jet black, spiky hair stepped forward. Around his shoulders was a black cloak, upon his chest was some kind of plate armor made of a red metal. Strapped to the man's side was a sword made out of crystal. On his right shoulder was a red lizard of some kind. "Kirii, go play with Yan for a bit." The lizard chirrupped happily and spread two bat-like wings and flew off, Yan happily chasing after it and laughing.
"Was-was that a dragon?" Anna asked suddenly coming to the conclusion that she was definitely either dreaming or there was genuinely something weird going on. Either way she was willing to bet she hadn't seen anything yet.
"Very good," the man laughed, "Most outworlders aren't able to identify, or rather don't want to identify, a dragon so easily. What is your name girl?"
"Why don't you tell me your name first?"
"Fair enough." The man bowed, "I am Amelf Ontes Wahsod d'Eldra sh'thir KaTalm, son of Eldra, son of Horrinth, son of Elmindron. I am the uncrowned king of Karianth, ruler of a slaughtered people; I sit upon a throne melted down for the swords of my people's murderers, and my crown was pounded into trinkets for their wives. I wander the world in servitude to the great Lord of Dragons Greham, and I serve him in all things. Now who might you be?"
"Um...I'm...Anna Hayes, daughter of Nate, son of..I really don't know my Grandpa's name sorry." Anna gulped, she really didn't know how to respond to such a long winded and formal introduction.
Amelf laughed, "It is very rare that outworlders know much of your lineage. Now there is a town a day's journey from here. We can get you more clothes once we arrive but I'm afraid Yan and I must leave you there." Anna suddenly remembered she was nude, but looked to realize that she was covered in a larger version of the black robe that Yan had been wearing.
"Th-thank you...I think."
Amelf smiled, "Don't mention it."
