F: "Is it working?"
M: "Hold on... I... I have a signal, I think it went through.
M: "Holy shit, I have a signal."
F: "Is that good?"
M: "Yes, it's really, really good- For the love of god do not let go of that shovel Sola. I'll fall right off this roof!"
F: "No problem, I gotcha. After all we've been through, you really have to learn a bit of trust."
D: "911, what is your emergency?"
M: "Uh right. Ahem, my name is // REDACTED //, and I'm calling from... an alternate dimension?"
D: "Sir, you realize that prank calling an emergency line is a crime."
M: "No- no: Not a prank, actually. If you can trace this please do."
F: "Why are you talking to yourself // *REDACTED** //"*
M: "I'm talking someone on the phone Sola, hold on."
F: "Of course I'm holding on, you think I want you to fall of the roof?"
M: "Just keep holding and wait- I'm speaking to someone from my world."
F: "I think you're losing your mind."
M: "Noted Sola, seriously noted."
D: "Sir? Sir, are you alright. What is your situation?"
M: "YES! Yes, I'm alright. Sort of. I uh, well it all started in a Walmart Parking lot, I think it was November-"
D: "Sir, I've just received a call. I'm going to transfer you to the waiting line."

M: "No! No, no no, don't transfer me! Listen, I don't know how long I can keep this line open but you have no idea how long how it took for me to-"
Dial tone.
M: "Shit."
F: "Did it not work?"
M: "Well... I hear some elevator music."
F: "What's an elevator?"

Transfer to Secure line Complete:
A: "Is this // REDACTED // speaking?"
M: "Uh... Yes. That's me. Who is this?"
A: "That's not important. What is your physical condition at this time?"
M: "Uh, well, I was stabbed a few times last month but right now I'm alright."
A: "What are your immediate surroundings?"
M: "Small village, snow, standing on a roof leaning . Street signs said // REDACTED // and // REDACTED //"
A: "Are there any other survivors?"
M: "Well I have some people, but they're not from home."
A: "Are their intentions hostile?"
M: "Uh... No... Not my people."
A: "Your people?"
M: "I have an Dark Elf, two Mages, a Janitor and a Werewolf with me."
A: "Any others?"
M: "Well, yeah. There was an army, but we left it. I mean, it's a whole world over here."
A: "Generalize, quickly."
M: "Ah the Church... no, the Western... Shit. Look, there's a lot of political stuff happening I don't have a full handle on. Evil Wizard in the West has been causing some seriously nasty business for a long time, and there's a Holy Nation in the East where I landed originally. I think they're actually the younger Nation. Nice enough people in the rural towns, but they're a bit extreme in their views.
A: "So there are only two Nations in the world?"

M: Only two big ones that I know of, but I've heard there are some island nations- maybe another continent somewhere.
A: "What about their armies?"
M: Well, swords and bows. Armor and the like, horses... Orcs and Goblins. Some other weird creatures that seem to eat people. I don't know exactly, but apparently there's a Giant Dragon with the Eastern armies fighting somewhere South. We left before that."
A: "You said swords and Armor, no firearms or explosives? What is their current level of technology."
M: "It's... well pretty bad. Medieval really, but with magic."
A: "Would the classification pre-industrial be fitting in description?"
M: "Yes, except for a couple Dwarves, probably fair to say that."
A: "Now, you mentioned Magic? I'd like you to tell me a bit more, briefly."
M: "Yes, well they have a lot of magic. They use it for everything."
A: "What types of magic?"
M: "Everything. They used it for everything: Healing, lightning, fire bolts and telekinetic forces. Scolls that pass messages to people in other cities like computers: Almost anything you can think of. I've enforced my car with some of it, trying to keep things running."
A: "Your vehicle is still functioning? Records show a // REDACTED // and the bumper portion of a // REDACTED // were carried through the // REDACTED: ALPHA EVENT //"
M: "Ah... Yes, sort of. The car and the trailer are sort of working. I had to convert the car, so it's more or less moving with moonshine now, chokes up a bit time to time in the cold."
A: "Do all your electronics and technology function properly?"
M: "They seem to, I mean I'm talking on a cellphone. I'd guess they do, provided they don't run out of charge."

A: "Sir, the connection is fraying. I ask that you answer this next question to the best of your capacity:"
M: "Sure, but I was wondering if you had-"
A: "// REDACTED // I need you to focus, this next question is of the utmost importance that you answer."
M: "Right... Okay."
A: "We need to know: As of what you have experienced so far, are they a threat to us."
M: "A threat? Wait, why?"
A: "The world you're in, the people in it. Are they a threat? Answer the question // REDACTED //"
M: "I don't think..."

Transition and Restart, book one: Arrivals

He must find himself again, find friends again and maybe dare to find love again. PG13 Observe that this is the first book in a series with book seven currently ongoing.

This story is based on a character from a tabletop roleplaying game. I realized that I'd spent quite a lot of time planning out his backstory, and decided to go ahead and write some of it down.

Eye of Amber
Kosian's life was turned upside down when he saw his brother being taken by men of the Faith, using words like 'cursed' and 'damned'. He did not care if his brother was the Ancient Gods incarnate -- he just wanted a friend with whom he could share his pain, his joy. And, after ten long years of planning, he is finally ready. With the help of a group of mysterious benefactors, Kosian saves his brother, fleeing their home and heading east, towards the port of Bez, accompanied by an unexpected but welcomed band of mercenaries. Meanwhile, Bel, a knight of the order Purtelis, hounds them, dead set on returning the Faith's stolen property. Both groups traverse the peaceful lands of Bollardia, each encountering roaming monsters, ancient evils and simple people, trying to survive. During his travels, Kosian is haunted by strange dreams and visions, all of which keep showing him the same image -- an eye of amber, etched with black runes. The sign of the Divided, masters of magic and saviours of the Seven Races.
