When Kyle woke up, he found himself in a prison. At least that is what it appeared to be, but it was simply a big hole in the ground.
Two other beings sat beside him.
A man with a horn, similar to the one that said he was of the Ram beings - and another that looked just like him, a human.
"Voka Tim"
"Erm.. excuse me?" Kyle responded to the odd words as he looked around him.
"He said, good morning lad," the human translated.
"Ah, yes... good morning," he responded politely before turning his back to the two and investigating the wall of the hole, looking for a way to climb it.
"Tek a beyuim - para vo" at which point both the humanoid Ram, and the human snorted.
"I'm sorry, what did he say?"
"It'll be easier to grow wings and fly than climb out of this place." the human then snickered again as if not bothered at being in a hole.
"Tell me lad, what is your name, and how come you grace us with your presence in our fine home?"
Kyle was confused about what was happening and what he was seeing - but he was fast to adapt to situations.
"I'm not sure, really... I found a diary left by my brother, one that he left presumably before he vanished. I followed the steps written there and found myself in here"
"I've heard that you've killed many of their tribe- that must've been a sight to see."
"NO I SWEAR, I was too confused as to what was happening, I snuck among those soldiers, and had those mon..sters" he looked at the man with horns next to him, before gulping then continued "had they not come when they did, I could almost swear those soldiers had intended to kill me for finding the wrong secrets."
"I figured as much, your shirt says 'Lagooz at your service' - so I knew you wouldn't be of importance. What was your name again?"
"Kyle."
"I mean your full name."
"Kyle Del-a-Q. And you sir?"
The man stood up, and smirked at Kyle who had found a comfortable spot to sit in
"I am what you'd call a traitor."
Before being undrestood - the man raised his foot and stomped on Kyle's face.
"Masters, I'm done here!"
Within moments, the man flew out of the hole. A proud grin upon his face.
Kyle was stumped as he remained in the hole - hurt, with only him and the other Ram staring at each other.

It has been a few hours since the odd encouter. The two suns did not set yet, even though Kyle was getting tierd again"

"I keep thinking back to what happened - I saw such a strong red light, was I transported to another world? is this real? I used to read a lot of stories on a site called Royal Road, it had many characters that got Isekaied
You know what Isekaied mean? it is a Japanese word for being transported to another location or something like that. Well, not that you understand any word I've been saying, nor do I understand you - so it is fair. I just like thinking outload when I am stressed - that is really not a good skill in collage, especailly in the middle of an exam.
Anyway, the only thing clear to me, is that lagooz was either built on top of a portal, or they found it as a good location for it. People there know about it, and now so does ... ah nvm" Kyle continued to think a few thoughts in his head, at which point the Ram sitting infront of him let a sight of relief, before Kyle continued
"I am not sure what is worst, being potentially killed by my own kind, or kidnapped by a kind I've never heard off" as he continued to speak for another while - a man grumbling from above them said with a loud voice, directed to the Ram sitting next to Kyle
"VAKYIUM, LIGNUA PERM!"
The ram then showed a delighted, yet annoyed smile, before suddenly speaking in English "Can you SHUT UP ALREADY! YOU'VE BEEN RAMBLING NONESTOP FOR 2 STROKES!"
The sound was loud, and kyle was a bit in shock "you can understand me?"
"No- that was magic, I've been permitted to use one to allow you to understand me! to tell you TO SHUT THE HELL UP!"
"Magic is real? ofcourse, if we can be teleported to another... "
"I SAID SHUT UP! ANOTHER YAPPY DAPPIER YAP YAP YAP, AND I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF"
Kyle was about to respond to that statement, when he realized that he would be better off not risking it, and just sitting quietly waiting for what was going to happen to him next. Maybe his sister would figure out a way to save him - in another world, with soldiers and the elite between her and them. Unlikely. Maybe they would set him free, and thank him for being a wonderful guest - a different world's custome - what if that is it. The what ifs were many, but the majority ended with him being in more trouble than he's been in his entire life- and that was true.
***
Kyle woke from his sleep, having failed to ease his hunger. He found his phone in his pocket, and luckily it still had 40% battery left. The clock indicating that he already spent more than a day in the hole - yet the sun had still not set.
He alone remained in the hole. But, it was not long before he started floating.
"what.. what is happening?" it was the same way 'the traitor' flew. It was warm, and he felt like he was swimming in the air as he went up.
Upon reaching the opening, he was greeted by two of the Ram people. A chain was linked to his arm, and he felt forced to follow them. Not a word was exchanged, and he just silently walked behind them.
He was in a city. It smelled a bit like sulfur, his tounge would feel a metalic taste just from the taste of the wind he was breathing. Children were running around the street, just like they would in his world. Suddenly, he felt the steps rush, and he found himself at a longhouse.
"Now human, kneel"
Kyle looked around, he was not one to kneel lightly - but he felt like his life was in the balance, and a bent knee meant nothing in comparison.
Upon choosing to kneel, the injured Ram, said "I bind you Kyle Del-a-Q to my kin, to me - you are to obey until our bond is broken".
Suddenly he felt a certain power and he immedietly knew what was happening - as if the information suddenly imprinted in his mind. By the will of his name, he was now attached to this being - as long as this being is alive, he lives, and the moment this being dies - he dies - he also can't stray too far away from him.
"You shall be called Brak from now on"
"That's not my name"
"Your name gives power over you - accept the title, or be dragged around"
"We understand that you were not the one to attack, but you shall be held as a hostage, and as revenge for the death of our family - be glad that you got such a resonable owner"
"I am not, and will not be a slave"
"Humans and your pesky pride. Consider yourself a prisoner, it is all the same to me" upon hearing such words, Kyle felt reliefe when suddenly he felt horns slam into him
"YOU KILLED MY FATHER!" he fell to the ground, and before he closed his eyes, he saw the young being held back by bystanders, and the injured Ram spoke as if into his mind "you truly do faint a lot, don't you?" at which point, he once again fainted.
