You tell the truth. That you don’t know how you got here.
“Huh… That’s weird.”
You tell her that you’re from Earth.
This time, after a few moments the girl began to smile. The stern, demanding expression on her face from earlier disappeared. She suddenly stepped up to you.
“Oh, now it makes sense! Of course you wouldn’t know where you are, because you aren’t from this world!”
She laughed a bit then crossed her arms. Then she said something quite unbelievable:
“I summoned you.”
A wave of surprise flows into your head. What’s this girl talking about? Summoned? However, for some reason, it doesn’t shock you or leave you wallowing in disbelief for more than a minute. It may be that you’re still disoriented, or the fact that you have no recollection or memory of your past. All you know is that you’re here, and you’re not sure where ‘here’ is.
“Don’t think too much,” she interrupted. “Follow me back to the city.~”
You start asking more questions. Why should you follow her? What’s going on? This girl, who couldn’t be older than eighteen or so, was bossing you around already. But it made some sense: She seemed to know where she’s going. She must know this world - she was even leading you “back to the city” already.
She spun around to look at you again. You detected her eyebrows twitch for a split-second, before she smiled. She must be annoyed by all your questions, but anyone in your situation wouldn’t be able to help asking questions. She understood that.
“You’re asking, why should you follow me? Isn’t it obvious?” She said, “I summoned you. That’s why.”
In the tavern, she sat across from you in the booth. After she had brought you to the ‘city’, she purchased a drink and a meal for you at a clean little tavern with polished wood floors and leather-cushioned booths. Amazingly, the people you see here are all dressed strangely as well! There’s no ignoring it anymore: the people eating, chatting and drinking in the tavern all looked straight out of some medieval era. It’s like walking into a set for the Narnia film…
There was indeed a city once you had left the forest. You had come out atop a hill, and across a vast green plain criss-crossed with farmland and grazing fields, you saw its glimmering silhouette on the horizon. You must’ve walked a mile or so following her. However, this tavern was only at the outskirts - the city itself is still a few miles away.
