Casper and Aiden couldn't hope to fathom what they had just been through, how many years in time they had been sent back. The gravity of the situation had yet to settle, but a forest stretching out around them spoke of harmony. Though the case, Casper couldn't help but stare wide eyed at the change of scenery. What happened to the school, to the city? What happened to Los Angeles? Two other individuals were present and only one of them laid any kind of notice to Casper's presence, the boy Aiden. He seemed equally lost in this maze of thoughts and occurrences. [color=aba000]"Casper...what happened?"[/color] [color=00aeef]"Don't...know..."[/color] How could he? Aiden's question was warranted to say the least but perhaps Casper wasn't the right individual to ask, someone equally lost in both mind and body. How had they been transported to a location such as this? Another perplexity to add to an otherwise harmonic scene of green and gentle breezes was this woman of apparent royal stature. She hadn't noticed them, she never even turned to look at the boys she had brought with her into this world of swords and magic. Yes, it looked like something brought out of a story book, the worlds Casper always wished to visit as a child. In the drug infested life he called a home, Casper clung to stories of grandeur and sorcery, hoping that maybe one day he could see the unbelievable castles guarded by knights in shining armor. Of course, it was a silly thought, something brought to mind only because of this woman's dress. She seemed at home, though. She seemed to be at peace, enough so to warrant a moment's patience before approaching her concerning this situation. She had brought them here, that much was certain. She was an Evo, another obvious conclusion, but was she hostile? ā€œ..I did it... Iā€™m home...ā€ Continuing through the forest, Casper and Aiden followed this woman though kept their distance. If she had the power to teleport them all into an unfamiliar location, she could very well do the same once more. The thought of being sent into a volcano because they startled her wasn't an inviting thought in the least. Placing one foot in front of the other, the boys made sure to keep moving through the sea of trunks and leaves until they finally saw the breathtaking view now blessing their sight at the edge of the forest. Was that a castle? Was that truly a castle? [color=00aeef][i]"Oh my God...did she...?"[/i][/color] [color=aba000]"That's a castle...are we still in 2012?"[/color] Aiden whispered, moving his lips closer to Casper's ear. The taller boy's breath carefully swept over Casper's skin, sending a gentle shiver down his spine. It made him clench his teeth and turned to see Aiden's bright blue eyes looking down at him. They were quite...enchanting...weren't they? [color=00aeef]"Don't...think so..."[/color] Casper gulped, tearing his eyes from the blue orbs which had managed to captivate him. This was not the time, nor the place to be overcome by such silly thoughts. One complication at a time, that was the best approach. [color=00aeef]"We should talk to her..."[/color] [color=aba000]"Yeah."[/color] Aiden's whisper was accompanied by a nod, the boy waiting for Casper to make the first move. Looking at each other once more, the boys found themselves waiting for one another. [color=00aeef]"You're good with people..."[/color] [color=aba000]"If she tries to zap me with her time powers I can't defend myself."[/color] [color=00aeef]"You think I can?"[/color] [color=aba000]"You beat a man made of rock...!"[/color] [color=00aeef]"But not a woman made of time...go and say hi..."[/color] [color=aba000]"What if she..."[/color] Aiden tried, though found himself cut off. [color=00aeef]"Let's both go, okay...? But you do the talking..."[/color] [color=aba000]"Okay, deal..."[/color] Turning their attention back to the woman at the edge of the forest, the boys picked up their pace albeit carefully as to not startle her. Once they were close enough, Aiden raised his hand slightly, an attempt to cement his lack of hostility. [color=aba000]"H-hello..."[/color] He began, holding onto Casper as the boys carefully approached the lady of royalty. [color=aba000]"Uhm...do you know where we are...? We're a bit...lost..."[/color] Looking between her and Casper, Aiden offered an awkward expression of uncertainty. [color=aba000]"Right...?"[/color] [color=00aeef]"Right..."[/color] Casper returned, looking down at Aiden's fingers wrapping themselves around his wrist. They were both quite scared, but neither wanted to show much more than confusion. They needed to stand tall in the face of adversity but so far it looked like they were in a completely different time period. It was safe to say that alone, they wouldn't have been able to handle this sudden change. Were they truly in medieval times? [color=00aeef]"Sweet castle..."[/color] Casper continued, shrugging at Aiden who gave him a terrified look. [color=aba000][i]"Is he serious!? That woman can probably kill us and he goes on with small talk!? Geez, he's so full of surprises..."[/i][/color] Trying to save the situation, if it actually needed saving that is, Aiden decided to drop a few choice words of his own. [color=aba000]"A beautiful castle uhm...M-my...Lady?"[/color] [color=00aeef]"Showoff..."[/color] The shorter boy crossed his arms, smirking softly at Aiden. It was surprising not only to his taller new friend, but also to Casper. He had not found himself being this playful in the past. Perhaps Aiden brought a side forth which had previously been suppressed? It felt rather liberating... [color=00aeef]"We're probably missing English class now..."[/color] [color=aba000]"I don't think that's really important right now, Casper..."[/color] [color=00aeef]"I'm gonna' be in deep shit..."[/color] [color=aba000]"Let's take one thing at a time, okay...?[/color] Aiden placed his hand on Casper's shoulder, turning his attention back to the woman. [color=aba000]"I'm Aiden, this is Casper. Sorry for uhm...disturbing you but we tried to help you back at school when you tripped and I think you might have uh...sent us back in...uhm...[/color] [color=00aeef]"Time..."[/color] Casper finished. [color=aba000]"I hope we're not an inconvenience or anything but...could you please tell us where we are?"[/color] The taller of the boys finished, his finger's around Casper's arm tightening.
