Chapter 2 - Questions

In the silence following that statement Chance mulled over his options on what to say he decided that the five W's - Who, Where, What, When and Why - were a good place to start

'Okay' he thought to himself let's start with the basics for meeting a new person. "Who are you?" he asked.

The elf replied "Rhuyn de Valeer at your service." There was an expectant pause immediately following that and Chase suddenly realised he should probably return the favour. "Ehm... Chase, Chase Richards" he stuttered out hastily and tried to raise his hand so he could offer it to the elf to shake. That plan was immediately shelved once he realised that he was still restrained to the table.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Chase paused waiting to see if the elf was going to ask a question of his own before saying "Um, where exactly am I?"

"You are in my laboratory, just outside the city of Sylene in the world of Aernith."

Chase's Jaw dropped but after a second he realised that between the portal and the alien/elf there was never really any chance he was still on earth.

Gaining a bit more confidence from the elf's willingness to answer his questions he carried on.

"How did I get here"

"An altered hero summoning portal" the elf He stated matter-of-factly.

Once again Chase's jaw dropped. This time it stayed down for much longer. Eventually he gathered his wits and asked the question that was burning inside him.

"Does that… make me a hero?"
