The room is empty when she came to. A large, white walled, white floor, and white ceiling room. Light seemed to come from nowhere, but she could at least see around her. Her gear was missing, except for her clothes, and the only thing she could lay her hand on was a small note that was beside her.

"Happy Running." It read in rather neat script. Against a nearby wall, there was a simple looking wooden door.

Xelera opened her eyes, she slowly sat up and glanced around. The last thing she remembered was being in her home, but this place was not her home. Everything was white, blindingly white, she stood from her place on the floor, rubbing her head. How had she ended up here? Where and what was this place? She glanced around noticing a door, she pushed her mouth to the side, reaching for her bow. She frowned, finding it gone, along with her dagger. She walked to the door slowly, wondering what could possibly be on the other side.

The door looked normal enough, nothing strange about the wooden surface. However when she tried to push it open, faint words began to glow on the surface.

"The place where all ends meet."

The wrods pulsed gold, for as long as she touched the door.

Xelera walked to the door cautiously, raising an eyebrow slightly as she reached for the door handle. She had no idea what was on the other side, or if this was all a trap.

Nothing happened when she toched the door handle. The door wouldn't budge. The words continued to pulse in front of her.

Xelera frowned as she turned the handle but the door did not budge. She glanced around the room, looking for another way out. She wanted to return to her home, she had things she needed to do, but she was trapped here. She looked at the door again, and knocked lightly.

THere was a cracking noise. The door seemed to shake for a fraction of a second, then it swung open creakily. Beyond the door was a dark, dense forest. THe light from he room she was in seemed to stop at the door, not entering the trees.

THe soft sounds of night came form outside, a small dirt path barely visable snaked away from where she stood.

(Roll 1d20 please)

Xelera watched as the door slowly started to open, raising a brow slightly. Things seemed odd, it could be a trap she thought. She kept her guard up as she watched the door open.

The door vanished. Something like a breeze pulled her, taking her through the opening. Just as sudden the wind stopped, and the empty doorway was gone, leaving her alone in the forest. THe dirt path seemed a little more visable in the darkness, but the branches were low overhead.

(Sorry so late, busy weekend)

Xelera held her breath in anticipation as the door opened and slowly everything changed around her. She found herself in a forest. She did not know this forest though, she wondered where she was now, and who was behind this? She glanced around, frowning slightly. "Hello?" she called out, looking around. She was growing tired of games.

The breeze creeped through the air, making the leaves rustle. All at once there was a snap, and a figure appeared on the path before her. It was hard to see in the shadows, and the person's face was blacked out.

"Who are you?" The voice was male, and on edge. Like someone who had been ripped from home and placed in a weird world.

Xelera glanced up, hearing the voice. She rose a brow, taking a cautious step back as she looked at the figure hidden in the shadows. "My name is Xelera....who are you?" she asked, raising a brow.

"Lucia..." THe figure seemed to wait a moment before nodding. "And from the sound of your voice you're just as confused as I am." The shadows seemed to lessen, and now she could see his face. A youngish looking man, thick black hair and golden eyes. He took one step forward, and bowed. "I assure you I am no enemy."

Xelera frowned slightly, "Where are we?" she asked, looking around. She wasn't sure if she could trust anyone, for all she knew they could have been the ones who brought her here.

"I do not know." He said, standing striaght up again. "I've been here for about a week now, haven't seen anyone else or heard of anyone. this forest seems to go on for quite a ways, and there is some barrier that I can't see or get past."

Xelera frowned slightly, a barrier? she thought. She looked back up at the man, "The white room, and this forest. Is it an illusion do you know?" she asked, having the feeling he wouldn't know either.

"I do not believe it is." He said, his arms crossed before him. "Everthing I've seen so far is as real is at can be, even some of the poisonous plants. The room and this forrest may be connected by a portal that works one way." Lucia shrugged though, a tired sigh coming from him. "It's been a pain to find food though. A lot of these plants I don't recognize, so I can't tell what all is edible."

Xelera looked around at the plants, pushing her mouth to the side. She was an expert hunter and survivalist, "Are there any creatures?" she asked, examining a plant, she frowned as she looked at it, not recognizing it at all either.

"You're the first breathing anything I"ve come across. I haven't found anything or anyone else." Lucia ran a hand through his hair. "Quite honestly, I'm stumped. The only thing I've found that is out of place is this stoney area near the barrier. I've examined it but..." He shrugged.

Xelera had noticed that the forest was rather quiet. There was no calls from birds, or any other creature you would normally hear in the forest. This complicated things a great deal.

"So basically our odds are against us and we'll most likely starve to death before getting out of here." she sighed as she stood up, glancing at him.

"Can't exactly live off plants either." she rubbed the back of her neck.
