The moon reached it's highest point just as the song came to an end. Kiana smiled slightly and started swishing her legs back and forth. She always had loved how the night seemed to glow with the moon and the stars. She had been travelling for a whole day since her stop at Lassan, and tomorrow she would be at the gates of te Capital of the Kingdom. The thought alone made her smile and wish for tomorrow to come faster.

This came at the expense of her sleep, as her excitement had deprived her of the calm she needed to get some rest. She could only giggle at that, it had happened so many times already, and in such a short period of time,
 that it was not that strange for it to be hapening right now. She would go around it eventually, like she always did.

She was currently sitting on the highest branches of a treetop, looking out into the sky and muttering tunes to herself. She had come to like the songs that people heard in busy streets and in local inns or taverns, and now she had a couple that she couldn't shake out of her head, so she kept singing them and remembering the places she heard them in. The streets, the inns, the taverns, the sqares, she could recall one for every place she had been at.

She remembered the towns she had been at, in such a short period of time. She had transversed All of the riverside and a couple of mountains before coming across this vast forest. She had enjoyed the beautiful sights that the mountains had to offer, and the river was always filled with plenty of fish at any moment, but the forest was something that made Kiana sigh everytime she stopped to rest. She had felt something special when she had first stepped into it, and she had immediately felt drawn to it.

The forest felt like it had been waiting for her since she stepped out of her house, or maybe even from before,
 since she had decided to go out into the world, or since she had been born, or since her parents had met,
 or maybe since forever, she could never know. The only thing she knew for sure was that the forest seemed to call out to her, and she could not sit by with a whole forest calling out to her, right?

Her song and her thoughts came to a sudden stop as she watched a constelation. She was looking straight into The Archer, when she watched the tip of the Arrow fly away from the Bow. The Arrow grew longer and longer with with an evergrowing tail behind it. She saw the star grow brighter and brighter and become a Shooting Star.

She had heard from a lot of places that Shooting Stars only granted wishes to those that catched them. They were gifts from gods to the mortal world, and those that were able to get a hold of them would be granted enough power to have anything they desired.

"I'm not doing this for the power", she said as she jumped down from her tree. "I don't thirst for power, I'm just doing this to know"

"Right?"

Her doubt didn't leave her mind as she saw the Star. It had fallen breaking some branches and felling some leaves, but other than that it was standing in perfect harmony with everything else. The object had a perfectly... round shape? She frowned in thought "It's more like an egg" She was a little dazzled at the realization, but decided against voicing her thoughts. If it was a gift from the gods, she better not complain.

She decided that whatever it was it needed something from her, and she stepped closer, carefuly, of course,
 and placed a gentle hand over the surface. It was perfectly smooth, or, more accurately, impossibly smooth; It was truly the work of a higher being. She had little time to marvel, as the smooth surface recoiled from her touch and retreated upwards, revealing a heavenly sight.

The interior was bathed in colorful lights, the likes of which she had never seen before. It was like the inside was dotted in stars, each shining with its own light Kiana walked straight into the thing, still amazed by the sight, and noticed the panel descending to its place, and trapping Kiana with the lights. She panicked at first, but stopped moving when she saw the lights dancing before her eyes. She sat on a chair in the center and held her breath as she felt a liquid touch her feet.

She remembered how everyone in Lassan always muttered a prayer to Illian, the godess of the moon. She drifted away thinking of one of those prayers

Kiana was floating in an empty space, holding her knees in her arms and with her hair flowing in an unseen current. She could hear something talking in an unknown language, but couldn't bring herself to listen to what it was saying. She looked around and noticed that the place had been bright as the sun at first, but was quickly dimming itself. The light was dying slowly, and the voice was drifting into nothingness. She moved her head from right to left, and hit it with an invisible wall.

She felt the pain in her forehead, and she rubbed it with a hand to get rid of it. She had trouble opening her eyes, and quickly realized that she had them closed. She opened them with some effort and noticed that all of the lights were off. The inside of the thing was as dead as it was alive before. She quickly realized that it was no invention nor gift from any god, but it was something built. It was build with the iron of a sword, but everywhere. She had heard the sound it had made when she collided with it, and it had sounded like an empty helmet, or something like that.

She saw a green light blinking at her side. She felt the same spark of curiosity that had goten her into this trouble, and despite her best efforts, she couldn't resist to push it. The small egg was filled with magic, dancing lights. She saw the starry sky in every direction, and the lights soon grew to show her two dots.

One was black and had a red "X" on top. The other was white and was blinking with a white glow. "Current position..." The word were written besides the blinking point. "Five survivors... Charred planet..." Something sounded odd about that. Planet was a strange word, but charred was something that she knew well enough. Charred sounded bad, and whatever it was a "planet" was bound to be in some trouble.

The blinking point had tendrils extending in a lot of directions, and it puzzled Kiana to no end. She leaned back into one of the walls, and it gave away just like before. She fell backwards and landed in her back, breaking the fall with her left arm.

She was hearing someone talk, but hadn't been paying attention to it. She turned to see four other... "survivors"... She waved those thoughts away and focused on the four individuals before her. She picked herself up and noticed all of them. A red-themed girl, complete with red hair (but the boots weren't red; a shame, it looked good on her); a little man- no, a dwarf, standing right besides her, another red-themed person (this one male, pretty good looking in her books); and a hairy man, with dark brown fur everywhere and ripped clothes all over him. The four of them were standing around, and now she thought that their voices might be what she was hearing in her sleep.

As she stood, she dusted herself off a little and introduced herself with a small smile and a wave. "H-Hello, everyone, I'm Kiana from the Twin Rivers Pass... Who are you all?" She asked a little unsure, thinking that she was more than a little out of the loop. It wasn't until after that that she noticed the alien place they were in, with metal in every direction and no sky above or ground below. She approached the others.
