"Haaah...haaah...." I panted as I ran away from the heavily iron armored men on horses with spears.
I cut through the bushes with nettles which hurt since I had a low tolerance for pain. I let out a yelp of pain as I was running away signaling them towards my direction. I heard many voices coming in out of my ears yelling "Get Back Here!" or "You're Dead!" I didn't listen as I kept running through the darkness of this forest covered with purple leaves and green beautiful grass. However, once I reached a certain point of almost making it out of this hell of running and panting I tripped on the root of a tree and fell.
...
...
I sighed as I got back up from my bed and looked around my room. Green walls that seemed kind of ugly in a way with some posters up of some... interesting things to say the least. A desk with two monitors, an Xbox, keyboard and mouse, and many empty items I didn't bother to throw away. I decided I was going to fish today like every day because of being an introvert I guess. Friends recommended this method of getting back out in the world so I thought I would try it as I slowly get back into this modern society. I took my ramen noodles out my mini fridge and cooked it in my microwave and ate it and I looked straight at my clothing rack.
On my clothing rack was the usual grey hoodie I wore outside. I walked up to it and took and put it on and looked at myself in my bathroom mirror. Brown hair with green eyes as skinny as a twig that you can snap me in half just going gently. I sighed at my lack of muscles and went to my glass door and opened it to the outside world of light. After going around 30 minutes of driving which I should mention is a pain I got to the river I fish in.
As soon as I got to the wooden bridge on the other side of the river I set up my usual place with my fishing rod. I put up my bait and did my thing. Listened to music as I felt a pull against the fishing rod. I pulled again and it tugged on me. I kept on doing this for a while until I almost fell in due to a massive push. I mocked the fish that tried pulling me and pulled the rod again. After doing this for what felt like 5 minutes I heard a siren at the back of my head. Assuming that I'm just delusional and went back to pulling the rod.
I pulled it again and the fish was gone depressed I looked up at the sky and was going to pray for God to help me. while I kept a hold on the fishing rod I looked up and saw a helicopter pass by as something was falling. I tried squinting my eyes but that clearly didn't work and it was directly falling on me since I'm directly under it. Panicked I tried doing something but didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, I felt a tug against the rod and got caught off guard and fell into the river. I tried going back up but a huge force kept me down and I felt water go into my throat and make me cough. It got in my nose which hurt a lot with its salty water in my nose, eyes, etc. It hurt for a long while until the long-awaited pitch black abyss overtook me after that pain.
I could think... but couldn't. It was very complicated and I can't explain it but that was what happened back then...
I woke up and stood up before coughing up lots and lots of water. I finally got that out of my system and looked around and saw grass around me going down like a little hill and going back up. Is this the river? It seems... empty with no water... I looked around for my car but it wasn't anywhere. I panicked and kept looking around and after a while, I hung my head down in a depression of the loss of my car.
Meanwhile...
(3rd POV)
Many people could be seen with heavy iron suits with some white feathers at the top of their helmet. They had an emblem on their chest representing a griffin.
"C'mon Jack! We just have to find these artifacts of the past and we'll be famous, right guys?!" A man yelled at the other men behind him. Cheers could be heard from all of these men behind them.
"Yeah I guess you're right," the other man said thinking of something, "However, if we find any tribe could we raid them?" He said with a smug look which would make anyone disgusted if this was MODERN society.
"Yes, I guess you're right since we do need some special breaks from time to time." People responded with this and cheered even more.

I sighed at the lack of my car... I felt my hair tickle my nose... Wait hair?! I checked my hair and it was blue and longer than usual... I was suspicious if someone dyed my hair but I remembered what happened back then. Nuke?! I panicked but stopped after thinking about how I was alive. Suddenly, a blue screen appeared in front of my face.

The blue screen scared me but I took a closer look and I got interested... Half-Nymph? Half-Vampire? What the hell! I would throw something down but I noticed I was naked and laked a certain Excalibur. *Ahem.* A while after panicking I heard the rustling of the leaves of the tree next to me. I just noticed the leaves were purple and the trees were thicker than I last remember... How long was I out?
"Haha! I get what you mean, Jack," I heard many leaves cracking and I looked to the right of me and saw white horses coming out of the forest of purple leaves, "That joke was unneeded but was so funny anyways!" Men with iron heavy armor came out of the forest.
They gazed at me and many just licked my body all over. It made me vomit because of the constant reminder of what happened and the mythology of Nymphs. I looked at them for a solid 5 minutes before turning tail and running away into the forest. I tripped up many times but I think I got awa-
"Where did that girl go? It seems she went in here... kukuku!" I heard a creepy laugh along with some hoarse voice of a man. It seemed like they took many cigs.
I tried running away again which caused more noise so they were coming my way calling names. Frankly, I didn't give a damn at all about the names I just wanted to escape from this situation. I panted as I ran my way through this purple leaved forest and through the nettles which hurt a lot. I eventually tripped up on a root and I panicked and looked back and saw the men finally coming towards me.
Panicked I tried to get my foot unstuck from this root but it just got it more stuck. I made way too many cracks in the sticks which hurt my back. The leaves were rustled too much and I felt too much adrenaline in my body at this very moment. I looked back and saw a man looking at me and he called all the others to come. All of them came towards me and I felt cornered and couldn't do anything.
However, I was proven wrong when I suddenly heard a voice to the right of me.
"Squadron 4 what are you doing to this young lady?!" I heard a female voice and I looked towards their way. Blond hair with beautiful ocean blue eyes and the iron armor doesn't add on to the beauty, unfortunately.
"Alexis?! What are you doing here!" 'Jack' which I assume yelled at the blonde beauty 'Alexis.'
"I'm here since I got readings of the artifact with my magic! Now get back to your stations back in Eartha!" Alexis yelled at the men making them scared and whimper, groan, or grunt.
A while after they left she walked up to me and examined my figure which made me flinch slightly. She caught eye of this and apologized.
"What's your name?" She asked and I thought about what my name would be.
Matt wasn't such a female kind of name... So what can I use for this? Emma... Olvia? No... Emily? I guess that could work... so I responded with "Emily" and she almost fell on the floor for some reason panicked by this I asked if she was okay.
"You're so cute, Emily!" She responded that and I could faintly hear something crumbling in the backround.
I couldn't really respond to Alexis since she was hugging me and cuddling with me. I can't say that I didn't enjoy this and I did. But I just wanted to know what happened... Did I reincarnate? Transportation? What happened...
"Alexis... What year is it?" I asked and this made her confused as she pointed her finger towards her cheek until she found out an idea.
"2122, why?" She responded and I panicked. 2122?! How do they have iron armor with such a long history?! I calmly asked her to put me down and she did.
I remembered she said something about artifacts which greatly interested me so I had to figure about those. However, when I asked she put her finger on her bottom lip and said 'Se-ce-ret~!' this pissed me off but I wasn't going to allow my persona of a man get blown away... I felt things shatter faintly in the backround.
"Where is the nearest city? Can you take me there?" I asked her many times and she responded with a 'Yes.' and that made me very cheerful. Albeit she never told me about the nearest city though...
"By the way how did you get here, Emily?" She asked and I almost pissed my pants because I didn't think of a scenario like this.
"I-I-I D-don't remember...?" I responded questionably and she hugged me and cried a little about how sorry she was.
"We'll be in Eartha soon, Emily!" She yelled at me and I almost went deaf...
Eartha huh? That's frankly a weird name for a city but I'll go along with it!
