When he decided to take this trip to the British Isles he never thought that things would end up like this. He had strayed off a road and decided to explore a strange looking grove of trees that had some how been glowing. He didn't know what it was or how it got there but he was going to find out. When he arrived there he found a hole made by a meteor. In this hole he saw a stone box, the lid broken by fallen space rock. In this box was a sword with a gem in it's hilt that had an extreme amount of light coming from it. At first he thought he better not touch it but he felt compelled to do so. When touching it he felt a strange warmth flowing through him. He began to get a little faint he tried to let go of the sword but his hand was some how stuck around the hilt of the sword, his palm on the gem. Then all things went dark. When he woke up he was in what looked like the same grove of trees but there was no road from where he had come. He could do nothing but start travelling in some direction in hopes of finding a road. Some how he knew that this was not the same world he had left but a part of him did not want to believe it. "Is this world inhabited? And if it is, will I find a friend to help me get back home? Or will I die in this place. So far from what I had known before.", he had thought to himself. By this time it was getting dark and he had still not found a road. He needed food and sleep desperately. He sat down under what looked to be a fruit tree next to a stream. He started to drift off oh so slowly, the sword still in his hand, when finally sleep came to him. "What shall happen tomorrow I wonder?", was the last thought running through his mind before sleep befell him.
