Hoblim walked through the streets. Right, there technically was quarantine right now, because COVID, but you could still get out, so long as you had a mask and didn't go too far from home. Then, all the sudden, the sidewalk disappeared bellow him and he fell down, down, down...
He woke up laying on his... Bag, apparently. It was on his back when he fell. He looked around him.
It seemed like he landed on a grassy area. He turned around and...
All right, he thought. I must be dreaming, mustn't I? Because otherwise, why would I see a statue of a woman wearing what suspiciously resembles all the drawings of mistcloaks I ever saw?

A wild grin covered his face. Finally! He thought. He then proceeded to think of his next step.
Well, he needed money. And new clothes, apparently, since it seemed that people here wore different clothes. And, he recalled, he might have to climb over the language barrier.

His eyes widened with shock when he saw he could immediately understand the steel alphabet.
"Well," he mumbled. "That crosses one problem off of the list." He stood there in thought.
