Adrian hummed softly to himself as he entered the store, due to the fact he went there every day, he was rather familiar with it along with those who worked there, well enough to know the employees by name. He walked over to grab his favorite drink before he noticed a sale on a brand new video game... along with the unfortunate soul who was forced to wear a costume in the form of the game's main character, but for her sake, he did his best to ignore it and just focus on purchasing what he came to get. However... before he could go to the counter to pay, he heard a strange screeching sound followed by several crashes, he quickly turned his head only to see a bus head straight towards the store they were in, he instinctively tried to run out of the way, but it was too late, the moment the bush crashed inside and collided with him, everything suddenly went dark.
...only for a moment...
The darkness of death slowly began to get brighter until it became all white, Adrian looked around, he was certain he was dead, unless this was what the afterlife had to offer for him. Suddenly, he heard a strange voice come from everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time. This voice mentioned how he was selected to live another life, a life with many hardships what he had to be prepared for, a life that provided him with what he needed to overcome them and prevail. And with that, the white atmosphere started to get brighter and brighter until finally, he woke up in the middle of a strange unfamiliar shack as if it was all a dream.
Adrian looked around to see a few other individuals, some he recognized and some he didn't, but one he certainly didn't recognize was the woman in torn robes who seemed rather exhausted. He noticed in his hands was what appeared to be an elegant spear, for some reason, he could feel a strange energy come from it, but he knew that there were more important things to worry about and he had far too many questions that needed answers.
He watched as one of the people went to hold the woman and slowly stepped over to her. He didn't ask if she was okay as someone already beat him to it, so he simply looked at the one who held her. "She looks exhausted, and judging by her strange attire, do you think she had something to do with us here...?"
