I stirred and slowly opened my eyes in a lush, otherworldly forest, my head cradled in someone's lap.

Above me was Evelyn, an ethereal figure with long black hair and an elegant green robe.

Evelyn: You're awake.

Surprised, I asked, Where am I?

Evelyn: My forest.

Pain throbbed in my head. Why save me?

Evelyn: Couldn't let you perish.

I felt gratitude. Thank you.

Evelyn: Rest. You'll need strength.

As Evelyn turned away, I pondered her mysteries.
