Chapter 2: 2: Team Forming
"Augh, this head of mine hurt, did I land on a brick?" He hisses at how dizzy he is as he wakes up.
His hand caresses the scaly neck of himself. Like getting zapped by thunder, he seems to be shocked of how weird his neck feels like. Luckily, he got a nice looking pond beside him to be a mirror.
"What happen, eh." He said as he had a look on the pond.
Reptile looking neck, with a nice looking lizard head. His yellow eye is widened, he didn't expect something happening to his head. Maybe he looked at it wrong, then he tried once again.
"Nah, why do I look like a lizard." He inhales and exhale out of his realization.
He seems to can't even remember his old self.
"Did I die before, I can't remember. Why do I feel it is natural that I am a lizardman now? This driving me insane, auoo..." He scratches his head in frustration of being unable to retrieve his memory of the past.
Suddenly, there's the sound of steps walking toward him. As he notices, he took a gaze at the direction from where the steps are coming from. It is only one person though, as how he counted it.
"Did a newborn just got teleported here?" a voice just spoken from that direction, a calm and cool voice. There appeared a creature just like look like a human, but long eared. An Elf, with a white hair swayed like a shampoo commercial.
The lizard just looked at the elf with a confused look.
"Oh my, my... my apologies just to be walking there without telling you about myself. I am the high elf, Marol, watchmen in charge of maintaining this arrival place." Says Marol, flipping his hair to be looking like the most beautiful person in the world. But the lizard looked at him weirdly instead.
"You must be confused right now, newborn. So just let me get this straight." He continued.
He pointed at the middle of the lizard's chest, there's a necklace dangling with a piece of metal on it. The lizard looked at it, and holding it like an idiot.
"Yeah, that. That is your name." Marol said with a little smile.
"A... ro... wu. Arowu." The lizard spell out his name, Arowu.
"Arowu, that's an interesting name. Then get up and go straight from where you look at right now. There will be a giant rock, and just wait there." Marol said, with pointing at the direction before continuing. "There's more newborn I got to guide, I'll leave for now."
With that, Marol vanishes into thin air and moves like a wind from places to places.
In Arowu's thought. A lot of weird things happened in a quick time just now, but he just went along with it just like that. He got a lot of things to ask, but Marol leaves in a rush. A bit unfortunate.
Arowu wondered what kind of world is this. Did he reincarnate or something like that?
"This thing is really making my head hurts, I'll just go to the direction of what that freaky elf guided me to, I guess." Arowu takes a walk with his new kind of leg he feels, this is a good time to adapt as well.
[Giant rock the elf talked about]
As Arowu arrived, he is surprised by how big the rock was, it is like the size of GBK stadium. Also, there's a lot of people here from strange races. Most of them are humans and elves. All of them seem to be clothed differently, Arowu just a plain white shirt and a long training, meanwhile there's one simpler than me or straight up from a golden era nobility.
More and more people, coming out from the forest, gathered in this place. All seem to be curious, confused. Wait, there's a lot of people looking normal too. Are they trying to look tough?
"There's no way I just died from those lowly being, I cannot accept that."
"I was just looking for my mother's cure, I want myself back. I miss my mother."
"I am no longer fat, let's go!"
"Why am I a goblin, this is unfair."
Some of them shout this and that, seems like they remember how they are before, unlike Arowu himself. He is curious of what he is before he is here. Arowu sighed.
"Fellow lizard, auoo... This is a good fate." Someone tapped him from the back, making Arowu jumped a bit.
"Oh, my, I didn't mean to startle you, my bad." He laughed before continues. "Tirus's the name, yours?"
"Arowu." Arowu replied just a single word, that's his name.
"That name is ugly." Tirus said straight forwardly, Arowu just huh'd at him. "I am just kidding, haha. My name is worse." Then he laughed, Arowu just look at him smiling.
The crowd suddenly being silent, looks like the elf came back. Marol just casually jump onto the rock. To jump that high, Marol makes it look easy to do. He is now smiling to the crowd, the confused crowd. Marol takes out a strange small book, he seems to be saying something strange as well when he opened it.
"Welcome, to the arrival land. Marol speaking here as the guardian of you, newborns." He speaks in a low tone, gentle, like how he is. But seems like the crowd can still hear him. It is odd.
"Everyone can hear me, right? Even though I talk in a small voice like this, are you curious, newborns? Yes, that's magic!" Marol just ask and answered it himself.
"This looks like an introduction to magic." Arowu thought.
Suddenly, Marol speaking strange words again. But this time a sudden loud thud can be heard, terrifyingly to the creatures here. It is just a simple door. Was that just him wanting to show off?
"Oh, look guys, a door!" Marol said the obvious thing, the crowd looking at him with an unimpressed look.
"The next thing you guys can do is simply get out from this place using this door. No difficulty, yeah. I just need to measure your magical potential first. Or some can even live in this arrival place for as long as you could." Marol said, still smiling.
The crowd seem to be discussing with each other before deciding.
"Only two thousand can get out from this door, though. The rest will be staying here until next month." Marol said once more with important information now, that leaves the crowd in a puzzled expression.
"Doesn't seem like even a thousand here."
"Yeah."
That sums up what the crowd was talking right now.
Arowu seems to be curious and taking a step to the giant rock, while Tirus watching behind him. Tirus seems to worry about a bit.
"Ar Ar, the door seems unpleasant. I don't really know, but I can feel it." Tirus said, walking behind Arowu.
"You… You are right. But the elf made it look like it is safe, don't we try?" Arowu said, then Tirus just nodded at him, but still feel a bit weird about the door.
After a hard time climbing the awfully high rock, we arrived at the topside of the rock. Not so many people here it seems.
"The elf said I have the ability to heal a person." Arowu overheard the voice beside him. It is a human girl, seems to be at her thirty, talking to her elf friend. Tirus heard that too, maybe.
"We get ability too?" Tirus said, and Arowu just shook his own shoulder.
"Oh, lizards here." They both got startled by the elf's mention, Marol seem to be smiling at them two. "Have you decided what path you are taking to, this door, I mean?" He continued, followed by the lizard's nod.
Marol speaks in the weird way again, maybe he does it when about to use magic. It is pretty fast when suddenly a rune appeared below Tirus.
"You are good with axe and shield." Marol said to Tirus.
Then Marol turn his face to Arowu.
"Well, you are great with rune." Tirus sees at the two of them in an awe.
"There's a common wooden axe and shield on the back, go get it. For Arowu, if I am correct. Here's a piece of magical paper." Marol helps those two getting equipped, even if it is crappy equipment.
Tirus seems to be happy holding both of his weapon on his claw.
"Never held one before, but I feel like brighten up when I hold these two." Tirus said. "Same for me." Arowu Added.
Marol seems happy how civil the lizardmans are, maybe he thinks lizardman are difficult to handle of their angry nature.
"Also, I recommend you to be friend with three more people if you want to proceed. Right there, maybe." He pointed at two girls from human and elf race, and one dwarf guy. Both nods and approach the group of people.
"Hello, the elf suggested we go together." Tirus said, eventually the three of the nod to Tirus.
"Tirus is me, and this is my friend Arowu." Tirus continue to introduce us.
"I am Varametaller." The dwarf said, a bit interesting name even for the dwarf himself.
"This two is my lovely wife, Tanya and Amanda." What the dwarf said was unexpected to the lizards, as the lizardmen look surprised.
"Just got married to these two beauties, with that elf as our officiant."
