Darkness... Nothing but darkness everywhere. Your vision failed you, there was virtually no difference between closing or opening your eyes. Not a single peep could be heard in this strange void, nor could you even feel the movement of your body.

But just like the Big Bang, something began to stir. Faint, muffled voices echoed in your eardrums. Your vision gradually returned to you as two burly knights kneeled down, looking concerned.

Auren: "H-hey, are you alright? Nothing's broken?"

The one with the golden helmet first spoke up. His calloused hands gently checked your body for any injuries. Despite his face being completely obscured by his helmet, his voice came out clear as day. His exposed, muscular chest was ladened with thick hair from top to bottom making him resemble a furry pillow.

Auren: "You fell quite far from the sky. My buddy here thought you were a goner, but I wanted to check you out anyway."

Argen: "Auren, that's enough. They're not hurt."

A gruffer, stern voice cane out from the one with the dark helmet. Like his friend, no other facial features could be hinted at however his bare chest, hardened muscles, and soft belly somehow made him look more intimidating.

A soft breeze blew by the new land. Grassy plains as far as the eye can see, a blue sparkling ocean off in the distance, and a small town down the road right behind the two adventurers
