《The Country of Monsters》Prologue
Advertisement
Opening my eyes to the light blue of the morning sky decorated with fluffy white clouds, I felt the warm breeze on my naked skin as I laid on the short fresh grass. I appeared to be in what looked like a big valley surrounded by mountains. Within the mountains’ reach, the trees of various species seemed to cover the earth, perhaps fostering a home to many different animals. Animals which perhaps would eat me alive if I accidentally wander into their homes.
Other than this weird feeling inside my chest, I had not idea of who I was. I had two legs and two arms, yet I could not see my face or remember my name. Where did I come from? Who am I? Questions like these, I had no answer to.
The weird feeling grew as I looked around to try and understand where I was. As if there was a waterfall inside my heart, the feeling was amorphous, slowly increasing its range into my veins. Gradually, it reached to my extremities, overwhelming me.
I felt an urge to redirect it to outside of my body. Thinking about how I can do that, I instinctively gathered it on my fingertips. It seemed to fill its container, ready to explode, I manipulated it to store the entire feeling and slowly bringing it out.
As I reached out my hands, pointing ahead with my index finger, a rotating whirlwind shape with a purple haze appeared out of nowhere. It enlarged and enlarged as I kept focusing on the feeling, pouring it into the rotating shape. The shape that appeared before my eyes became more and more opaque and was as if I could enter it. I knew it was a gate of some sort. It was an inherent knowledge I evoked the moment I summoned the gate. Gate – or a portal. To where? I did not quite know.

Soon I understand the reason for my ignorance. It was not a gate to somewhere. It was a gate from somewhere.
Soon, green-skinned creatures started marching out the gate. They had short arms and short legs and their height reached my chest. They had four fingers on their hands. Most of them were skinny and only some of them had hair. They all had some sort of clothing on unlike me covering their genitalia and some, those I assumed to be females, their breasts as well. There were 26 of them, all looking perplexed, trying to assess the situation they were in. One of them, one with a sharp jawline, presumably a male, and big eyes stepped ahead.
“You, master, we serve.”

She will have no choice but to resort to her wits, make unexpected allies, and navigate her way through unforgiving lands in order to survive. Will she be up to the task? Greetings, reader! First of all, thank you for taking an interest and read my story. This is a story I've been working through all my life. But since I'm a first-time writer, I wanted to start with something small. This is just a small part of something much greater that hopefully one day I'll be able to translate into words as well. I will try to make it interesting as possible but please bear with me. Please understand that English is not my native language, I worked really hard to write in English the best I could. So please if you find any typos and grammar errors let me know. I'll try to upload new chapters as soon as I can. Although I had originally planned to deliver a chapter a MONTH, I think the real estimate would be a chapter EVERY 3 MONTHS since I also have to earn the daily bread. Cover picture made by me. The background picture is from Google but I modified it enough from the original. The story is also available on Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub, and Webnovel.
