However, that night would change everything as we all signed out the manager would spot that Andy forgot to bring his trash to the back dumpster. Sure enough, I would offer to handle it and lock up everything while they went on ahead. 
"You sure you go it," asked the Manager? 
"Yes sir" I would reply as they handed me the keys. 
 As I gathered all the remaining trash and exited out the back door and hung them on in the employee's box outback. I began to hear a dog not too far off in the distance barking. 
"WOOF, WOOF" 
 Over and over until it began to sound as if something were going on as if he wanted someone's attention. Quickly tossing the trash into the dumpster I decided to go and take a look before heading home, a decision I soon come to regret. 
 Heading to the dog's location I would continue to hear it barking until I hear a loud whimpering sound heard from that location. I began to try and hurry to reach the dog. Once I arrived in the dark midnight streets, a grey dog comes running past me in fear and heads down the alleyway giving me a quick scare for my life as it appeared out of nowhere. 
 I would take a few moments to see what it may have been barking at in my surroundings, however, I couldn't see anything. 
"Um, little doggy you can come out now"  I call out to the corner I saw the dog disappear. The dog had gone completely quiet, giving me chilling vibes down my spine. Taking a deep breather I decided to go and check on the dog that ran into the dark alley. Finally making it over to the alley I would spot an open manhole, my heart quickly sunk as I began to fear for the dogs' life as I feared he may have fallen in.  Approaching the manhole in a hurry I end up tripping over my foot and sliding into the manhole head first... 

 Cheep, Cheep 
 As  I began to wake from darkness, I slowly hear the sounds of birds chirping in the distance while I begin to feel warm rays from the sun. Opening my eyes I gaze up towards the clear skies a the clouds float softly along.  It would be at this very moment I still thought I was back home and maybe just awaken on the concrete, however, once I stood up to my feet I would quickly be proven wrong.  I stood alone on a  long empty dirt road that leads north while there were working in the fields planting fruits and vegetables. 
"What's going on here, where am I?" I would begin to question. It had to be a joke I thought that I had been kidnaped or drugged and taken to a strange location. Quickly reaching for my cell phone and pulling it from my bag I would quickly try to call the police... but as I looked at my phone I woke quickly be given the no service notification. 
 How could that be I'm in the open and not surrounded by anything that would normally block phone services. 
"Alright don't panic, It's just a joke they are playing on me" I would tell myself as I tried to calm my nerves. As I looked around I would notice the people in the fields looking at me kind of weirdly but something was off about them. The way they dressed almost reminded me of feudal era times. As I stood there I would begin to hear something coming my way from behind me. As I turned to face what was making the loud noise I would spot a large carriage being pulled by two horses and a man dressed in brown pants and yellowish looking shirt with a straw in his mouth. 
"What the hell kind of dream was this" I questioned? 
As they approached me, I would decide to ask the man a few questions to figure out exactly what was going on. 
"Well how do you do stranger, you sure are wearing some strange-looking clothing there" the man would say as he looked at me quite suspiciously. 
"Really, how these are my regular everyday school day clothes" I would begin to try and explain to the man. He would seem a bit confused as he sat up high on his carriage looking down towards me. I would begin to try asking him a few simple questions about my current location and what exactly was going on. 
"Boy, you playing tricks on me or something" he would question me as he gave me a very unsettling look. Backing up a few feet from the carriage the man would begin to tell me, "This here is Far-ru in the eastern lands of Eadaron". I had no clue what he was talking about and I have never heard of Eadaron in my life, slowly I would begin to look around once more as this indeed look nothing like Paradise Islands. 
"Ye must be from the Capital" he would ask me as he chewed on his straw some more as if he were a goat. 
"Capital?" I would ask 
 He would begin to explain to me that what it looked like I was dressed from, out on a mission, and gotten lost. 
"Sorry but I'm not from the Capital, I've never even heard of the Capital or even this place before in all my life..." I would try my best to say before slowly begging to faint due to all the confusion. 

 Waking up again I would find myself awakening on looking up to a ceiling with a cool rag placed upon my head. As I begin to sit up I can overhear the man's voice from before who I talked to communicating with someone else on the other side of the door. The way they were arguing it would seem their conversation wasn't going in the best of ways. I would stand to my feet and try to make my way to them to see what exactly was going on, as I moved a part the blinds of the door I would spot the gentlemen from earlier and a young woman sitting at a table. 
"Well hello there you gave us quite a scare there" he would say as he sat in his wooden chair. The man would then proceed to inform me that he had brought me to their village which wasn't too far from where he had found me on the dirt road. Also while unconscious his wife Abbi helped tended to me until I came to. As I looked over towards his wife I would thank her but she didn't really seem quite pleased about me being in their home. 
"Felix, you know what this means" she would say in anger towards her husband as he would begin to take a deep breather before she would turn her attention to me. 
" Where are you from, where are your men, we have nothing to offer your kind here!" says Abbi very seriously.  I honestly had no idea what she was talking about but like I told her husband before I'm not from the Capital these were just my plan old school clothes. As I explained it to them and where I was from I could oversee villagers looking in from the windows which began to worry me.
"What is exactly is the capital exactly?" I would ask them out of curiosity. Abbi would rise up the table charge out the front door leaving me and her husband to talk. He would then proceed to offer me a seat at the table before explaining things. As I sat in the old wooden chair he would then begin to explain to me what the capital was. The Capital of Eadaron would the main center of the four kingdoms in Eadaron. Now all would be fine but everything isn't all fine in the lands as they all seem to be at war with one another. unlike the four kingdoms, the capital's soldiers were no joke to play around with as they have been seen destroying and capturing more and more of other kingdom territories for themselves, and it's really starting to get out of hand. Since I arrived out of nowhere in suit fashionable clothing I stand out among the village leading me to be a spy for the capital reporting back to the true king. With this place being a small village it would stand no chance against the capital surely they would all be either taken hostage or worse. Now I began to understand why the villagers looked at me the way they did but they have nothing to worry about the only thing I care about is getting back home because everything here seemed a bit too far-fetched. As we talked we would begin to hear talking from outside, so we would put our conversation on hold for the time being and go check and see what was going on outside. The village leader had just returned home with a couple of their strongest men to bring home meals for their families. 
Their meal had to be some of the most outrageous things I had ever seen, they had captured a very large giant catfish. That fish had to be one hundred times the size of a normal catfish where I come from this thing was a monster. If this catfish was the size of a young whale how big could a whale get here I began to question myself as I look in shock. 
"Chief Xander you have returned" calls out Felix, as I stand beside him. Chief Xander looked like one of those chiefs out of a fantasy story as he had dark skin, a cut on his face, and blond dreads.  As he approached us I began to slightly back up a bit as he began shaking Felix's hand. 
"Very well indeed I have returned my friend, I see the cargo trade went well did they give us the supplies we all required?" Asked Xander as Felix would begin to explain how everything went at the border. 
"Who might you be young man," asked Xander in he very manly voice as he gazed upon me. Felix would then begin to explain to Xander about my situation. Suddenly Xander would pull out his hatchet from behind his back and begin to walk towards me, I quickly begin to panic as I could feel my heart starting to race in fear. 
 PAT!! his strong right hand slams down upon my shoulder sending me sinking into the ground, "Nice to meet you lad welcome to Fur-ru village" he would say in joy.
"Why didn't he just that from the get-go instead of scaring me like that," I asked myself in fear. As the night approached the village everyone would be gathered around in the center of the village to enjoy dinner. This has got to be one of the weirdest things I have seen but the people here seemed really happy to all be together and enjoying themselves. The meal would be catfish, rice, and corn, I must say I was quite impressed with the taste.  Sure back where I'm from we all use stoves and grills but here, they are cooking over a traditional fire.  Maybe that's a good thing because it gives the fish a certain kind of texture and seasoning but then again it could be the herbs they coked it with. Looking up towards the sky I could only wonder what everyone on Paradise Islands was up to, that is until Felix would come and take a seat beside me. 
"So when are you heading back to where you came from?" asked Felix. 
"I.. honestly don't really know because I'm not even sure how to get back there" I explained with a sad look upon my face. Mr. Felix would then proceed to offer me a place to stay for the night. However, it wouldn't be the best of places to sleep, they allowed me to sleep in the barn for the night they did have the courtesy to give me a knitted blanket.  Sleeping in a barn full of horses this couldn't be right this had to be a bad dream I would keep telling myself over and over. Closing my eyes for the night as I laid on a pile of hay I could only hope that once I awoke again I would be back home, to my normal life. Just as I begin to fall asleep I could only assume one of the horses passed gas in the barn because god knows that the atmosphere filled itself with the foulest smell I've smelled in the longest of times.
"WHAT IS THIS HELL!!!!" I shout to the top of my lungs... 

 As daybreak broke out my eyes slowly came to as I can hear someone entering the barn. 
"Still sleeping there I see, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me a hand today if you not busy," asked Felix. I could only hope to have died in my sleep as it would have turned out this was no dream and this is really happening, I'm really in another world. Exiting the barn with Felix I would spot he would be carrying a bag of vegetables while I spot his wife Abbi loading some of the catfish into their carriage. 
"What's going on?" I asked Felix
  Felix would begin by explaining that he was heading back to the outer villages to make a drop since they had so much of the catfish to last for weeks. Trading food for some more supplies was never really a bad idea as it could help out others as well.  However, I didn't understand why exactly did he need me, because I wouldn't know anything about their ways.  Turned out he thought maybe I could remember my way home I saw something that looked familiar to me. 
"Sure I guess, I wouldn't mind as that sounds like a brilliant idea" I would reply. However, the thing was I couldn't go out being seen in these clothes as it would quickly bring suspicion again and that would not be good when you trading goods among others. Felix would toss me a large over shit to put on top of what I had on to keep my uniform hidden. Hopping onto the wooden carriage felt a bit odd as I've never really sat on one before. I felt as If I were in one of those old western TV shows that people's parent's used to watch back in the day. As I sat and waited on Felix to finish gathering his supplies from inside his home I gazed down to the large river below the village as its crystal blue water flowed downstream. 
 After a few minutes, Felix and Abbi would exit their home as he would begin to make his way over to his carriage. 
"We shall return by close to dark, so please have dinner prepared once we return" explained Felix as he kissed his wife. I proceeded to look away as that's their business and I didn't need to see but I did wonder what exactly does that feels like to have someone you love waiting for you at home every day. Senpai Iris quickly came to my mind, Oh I could just imagine her in a cooking apron as I arrive from work walking into the front door.
 "Honey I'm home" (Kozaku) 
"Welcome home darling, I have prepared your favorite meal for you my love" (Iris) 
 "Yeah right, if only that would really happen my life would be complete" I would mumble as I close my eyes as I begin to feel Felix climbing onboard.  After that, we set off heading off into the unknown once again traveling that long dirt road, the road where I first appeared.  Riding along the carriage you could feel every little bump in the road and I mean feel it it was like a bumpy mess it's no wonder they made vehicles the way they are today. 
"So let me ask, this place you come from what's it like there?" Felix asked curiously. I wasn't really sure how to answer that, to be honest, I wasn't even sure the best way to describe where I'm from.
