HUH?!

That thought resounded throughout my mind as I heard a voice. I HEARD a voice! I mean, at first I thought that was strangest thing to ever happen to me, but then bright light flooded my eyes as the darkness retreated.

Eh?

That was all I could manage to think as an impressively tall woman with fox ears swooned over me, tears in her eyes.

Her swooning only lasted a moment as I was torn from her arms by two tall men, both fitted in some type of armor.

I desperately want to know why they are so tall, but my consciousness fades as an eerie fatigue washes over me.

I've fallen asleep again and again, only waking up to an intense feeling of hunger and then a hearty "meal" of warm... milk?

By now, even an idiot could tell I was a baby... Why though?

Has god given me some kind of new chance at life? The voice that had told me to enjoy myself would support that idea.

Well, I can't really talk or move, so no use trying to stress over it.

***

An ear-piercing scream startled me awake, followed by a bath of some type of warm and red liquid... blood?!

The two armored men lay on the ground beneath me, framed perfectly by two wooden wheels, and only then did I realize I had been on a carriage the whole time.

Just what is going on?!

Honestly, I was oblivious to being in motion the whole time I was on this carriage. Maybe they had stopped every time they had fed me? Wait... where did the milk come from? That milk better have been bottled milk...

Wait... WHY DO I EVEN CARE ABOUT MILK RIGHT NOW? TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN FRONT OF ME. Am..am... am I next...?

Yet again, an unfortunate wave of fatigue overwhelms me, while a group encircles me as my consciousness fades.@@
