You are not worthy and you are not one of us.
Where am I? What was I doing? Who was talking? I don't remember well, I was at home, or so I think; I need to stay calm, oh my God! think, rationalize things, panic won't help me.
Ok, first of all, I don't know if I can move. I think I'm floating in some kind of liquid, am I dreaming, is it a lucid dream? No, everything feels very real.
I try to open my eyes, but it's hard and the little I manage to see isn't much. So, I try to stretch my legs and arms. They feel strange! but what else can I do? One moment! I feel like I could move something else in the lower part of my back; it feels just as strange or even stranger than my limbs, but before I could even question what was happening, I started to feel like I was having trouble breathing, and to begin with, how was I breathing in this liquid? That doesn't matter, I have to get out of here. I stretch out my hands and touch something solid; it's hot, it burns! but I know I have to get out of here.
Everything feels wrong, but this heat, I feel like I'm cooking alive! it hurts! At that moment, I try to push with all my strength; I know it's hot outside because I can feel it, but if I stay here, I will die. I keep pushing and with the tips of my fingers, I don't know how I manage to break what contains me and I push myself to get out.
The first thing I manage to do when I come out is vomit a liquid; I suppose that, if I was floating in something, I see flames in it, I get it! I’m in a fire, was I hallucinating from the smoke? That doesn't matter, I have to get out of here. When I try to stand up, I immediately fall; my legs feel strange and, for the first time, I see what I think is my body and my legs. If they can be called that, they are more like, what, feet? With claws? They look like the legs of a reptile or bird, since I see scales, and speaking of seeing, something is blocking my vision; it's as if I had a mask or a cone on my face. When I try to touch it, I see my hands or what I think they are; they have scales, fingers, but with claws. That explains how I broke what was containing me. Wait! what was containing me was an egg? this is a lot to process. Stay calm! I don't know if I'm dreaming or hallucinating, but this place keeps burning. For a moment, I wonder if this is hell and I died and I'm paying for my sins. Oh my God! No! I have to get up! I have to get out of here! I can't give up! I don't understand anything, but that's the least of my problems.

Everything is burning, but I know I must get up. This body feels strange; these legs or paws are weird. Wait a minute! What's this at the back? A line! Just what I needed! I don't know what happened to me or if this is a dream, but I have little time to process it. Without realizing it, I manage to see a person; they are hunched over, but they carry a torch. Is it the one who started the fire? I think he saw me! Maybe he'll help me, so I'm trying to talk, but only growls come out. It can't be! Why can't I speak?
My bewilderment at everything makes me not realize that the person who had seen me is already in front of me and, without warning, kicks me, sending me flying through the air, and when I hit the ground, I can barely move due to the pain. Wait! I try to tell him, but only growls come out of my mouth. He's drawing a sword! He wants to kill me! I must flee, but I can barely move with this strange body and the pain; I'm scared! What is this? Where am I? When I turn to expect the worst, I see that man who from my perspective now looks like a giant, but who is now being attacked by some kind of... lizard?
The creature moves across the person's body, bites him, and attacks him with its claws. In the end, it makes the man stumble and fall. Immediately, the lizard turns towards me and lunges at me. I expect the worst again, but instead, it stops in front of me and emits a series of growls. I am so confused, I don't know what to do, but there is no time to understand what is happening. This place is burning, and that man is getting up, and although my vision is strange, it is clear from his face that he intends to kill us. The creature growls at him and takes my hand to help me up. I don't know if out of instinct or fear, but I understand that I must follow this bipedal lizard and flee this place.
