When he entered the warp, his eyes started burning up. Time in the sunless void had made him unused to the sudden light, and the shock of suddenly seeing light again was painful to say the least.

-"AHHHHH MY EYES"- Felix screams in pain, as his eyes get burned by the sun. It felt like being struck by a flashbang right in his eyeball.

-'Oh yeah, you're not used to sunlight anymore.'- Karlson deadpans as Felix continues to writh in agony on the floor.

This continued for a couple of minutes, with Felix slowly regaining his eye sight. After many tears, and many curses, in many different languages, he finally opened his eyes up again.

The first thing he took notice of was his own skin. Due to being away from sunlight for a long period, his skin pigment almost disappeared completely, leaving him with ash-white skin. He started to touch his forearm to make sure the skin didn't have any damages, at least he didn't feel any different. But this did make him notice his unusual veins. They had turned a neon green coloration, while the branching segments had turned a deep purple. they had become much more noticeable with his abnormally white skin. While before he could barely see them on his forearm and hand, he could now track them all the way up to his shoulder. It was as if his blood had become luminescent, and his skin see-through.

After pinching himself up and down to get a better look if his skin had actually turned see-through, it thankfully had not. Having people see your organs and muscles, literally, is not a good way to make friends.

'Wonder what else has changed? Wait, almost forgot about the most important part!'

He almost rips open his pants and looks down, thankful to see his 2nd closest friend, after Karlson, still with him. However a little white, and with those creepy veins coiling around it. It had a corrupted look to it, with the veins clearly glowing inside his pants. it was an incredibly eerie sight. But this didn't stop him from feeling relieved that it at least still existed.

-"Oh, thank god"- He says in relief, closing his pants again.

-' That was not something I wanted to see so early into our adventure'- Karlson says, with disgust filling his voice. Clearly not having enjoyed the experience. It had learned human culture and personality while in the void with Felix, so it had started acting almost completely human... Except for the language.. And sociopathic comments. (more on that later)

-"Sorry, it needed to be done"- he sarcastically apologizes to Karson.

He was wondering if he had gone full albino, so he reaches up to his head and drags some hair to his eyes. They didn't appear to have changed in any way, still long and dark-brown. But there was a difference he noticed. his hair felt a little 'bendable'. It was like copper wire, but less metallic. He could bend it to the side, and it would stay there. If he shoved his hair upwards, it would stay upwards.

'Wonder if this is how it feels to use hair gel' he thought to himself.

He shoved his hair back, getting it out of the way from his eyes. He would usually put his hair in a top knot, so it would be out of the way without having to cut it. But without a hair pin or other hair accessory, he chose this. he enjoyed having long hair for two reasons. first: Having long hair in the winter was nice, kept him from needing a hat on chilly days, and second: he hadnt cut his hair for a long time, and he was scared that he wouldn't look good with short hair. But on hot summer days, it would be torturous. Making his neck burn with hot air and trapping the heat in his body. Easy to say, he hated summer, and loved winter.

'Watching' Felix check himself out for 5 minutes, Karlson started to get impatient -' You gonna be done soon, or should I get popcorn?'-

-"Yeah I'm done. Anyway, where are we?"- He asks, inspecting the area around him

They were in a small clearing, with black barked trees surrounding them. The leaves were largely orange and some a tint of red. Many apear to have fallen off, now covering the ground in an orange coat. The grass underneath barely noticeable in some cracks between leafs. He picked up a leaf and started crumbling it up in his hand. The leaf started crackling and breaking down in his hand, and soon after there was largely dust left of the leaf. 'Must be autumn, and a dry on at that' he thinks to himself, letting go of the leaf. Turning around, he sees an opening in the trees. The opening was large enough to fit a group of people to walk through, but small enough that the trees reached over to the other side of the opening. It looked like a maple leaf forest, but the leaf shapes were odd and the bark was black. The leaves in a kind of v shape, with two apendages reaching forward.

As he walked through the opening, he could hear birds chirping around him. It was a kind of melodic tune, reminding him of his childhood. Playing with his friends on a cold autumn day. In the distance he could hear the critters of the forest go along with their day, running around and eating what they could find. He even saw a kind of grey squirrel with a red nose and black lines ragin over its body. The grey squirrel looked at him and screached loudly, then dashed away from him, leaving him suprised and speechless. 'Am i that ugly? or has something happened to my face when i was in the void?'

-'If we continue through here, we will soon reach Stalia. Its one of the big cities in this world. a good place to start our adventure'-

-"so a generic starting city? will i later find out that the whole government is corrupt and take it upon myself to fix it?"- He says sarcastically, trying to forget about the squirrel

-'... No?'- Karlson says in a questionable tone, leaving many questions.

-"Well even if that is the case, that's too much work, if you ask me. and if that actually is the case and it starts actually effecting me in a negative way, then i'll probably just put my name on the 'i feel unsatisfied' list."- And that is true. The closest Felix ever came to a protest was complaining to his friends about a games release date being hit back some months.

After the quick conversation with Karlson, they continue moving through the 'road' of sorts. Felix singing his own remake of 'follow the yellow bricked road' which he calls 'follow the yellow leaf road'.

After 30 minutes of walking the start hearing screaming in the distance
