Chapter 1

When you go to another world, you don’t expect so much color, or happiness, or really anything along the lines of “ponies” that are more like humans with a mane and tail. Yet it seems that I have come across all three. My name is Cameron Ruff. I am a twenty year old female with a good bod, and it all started at the comic convention.

You see, I went as a “Howler” from a comic I really liked, called “Ghosts Among the Wild Flowers,” and if you don’t know about it it is a really cool comic. Anyways, I decided to go as a howler for two reasons.

One, they are nature spirits that transform from humans.

And two, they do it by LAUGHING! No joke! I still think it is one of the coolest things in the world to this day, even though I am one. And not only that, but the beast form is like a giant, neon, glowing Hyena that just cackles maniacal laughter. SO COOL!!!

ANYWAYS, back to the story. I had decided to go as a howler of my own creation. Now, howlers have only three things that give them away as howlers other than the obvious beast mode. The first thing is that they have natural, two tone hair colors. Awesome yes.

The second thing, is that, in the dark, their eyes and mouths glow along with their eyes. Still not done yet.

And lastly their tongue is neon and they have fangs.

Now, the colors i had decided to use was a nice turquoise and sea foam green blend that looks kinda like Hatsune Miku’s colors, and a nice hot pink for the secondary tone. The eyes were a special pair of contacts that gave me hot pink for my eyes as well. And don’t even get my started on how I got my mouth to glow hot pink as well. The fangs, however, was the easiest part, as I went to the dentist and told him that I just wanted some dull extensions done to my canines about a month prior to the con,that way I could speak properly without looking like a fool in front of everyone.

The con was really big, and everything in there caught my eye.

However, having only about 3k in my pocket, I decided to NOT buy everything in sight as my friend Ross held me back from doing so. It was SO tempting to do so.

But with a herculean effort, my friend got me back on track for the thing we were there to do, which was meet up with another friend at his booth. We made it there without much more effort, though Ross said otherwise, and met up with Hunter, our friend running the booth.

“Hey guys,what took you so long? Also, why is Ross sweating as if he’s lifted a 1 ton boulder?” Hunter asks as we come up to the booth.

Ross decides to answer, sweating profusely.” She wouldn’t...stay...away from...all the other vendors.” he said huffing.

I looked at him with sorry, puppy dog eyes” I’m sorry. Everything in here is just so cool! I can't help but want to buy everything.”

Hunter looks at Ross, then at me, then back at Ross again
” Hey Ross, think we should let her look around. Lord knows we won't be able to hold Cameron back from everything,” he says.I look at him with wide eyes, happy to possibly be let off my leash.

Ross thinks for a moment, before relenting and saying” Fine, but don’t make me have to come get security off your back.”

I squeal like a little girl at this, and wrap my arms around my oldest friend, saying” Thank you!” Before I run off though Hunter calls me over and gives me another thousand dollars.

“ Here. I’ve been doing pretty good at the vendor today, so here is a little extra in case you need it.” I grab the cash out of his hands before giving him a big old bear hug.

“Thank you Hunter, I will spend this wisely.” I say, turning away and skipping off into the depths of the convention.

“Sure you will.”

About ten minutes of walking around with nothing catching my eye, which i found kind of odd, as just about fifteen minutes ago i had wanted everything. I looked around and saw something that made my jaw drop.

Not even fifteen feet away was a character from the comic, called the Shaman.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. I wasn’t the only one. I decided to approach the Shaman carefully, as in the comic she was a very powerful howler and mystic being.

I stepped up to her vendor to look at what she was selling, and my jaw dropped even further when I saw all kinds of cool things, such as Excalibur from the Fate anime series, Lenka's blade from The God Eater anime, what looked like an R-201 carbine from Titanfall 2, and a shield that I didn’t immediately recognize from any series, plus tons of other cool things that I liked and wanted.

“Hello.”

I jumped at the voice. It came from the Shaman, and i felt a little guilty for not having said hello at first.”Sorry, hello, i’m Cameron Ruff. I just wanted to see what you where selling.” I said nervously. She laughed, and i can honestly describe it as harmonious. It had no other equivalent. Honestly. My nervousness melted away immediately. It was a genuine laugh that was very pleasant, and i couldn’t help but smile.

“ Well, as you can see, young howler, i have many thing from my travels. I have weapons and tomes from tombs and friends. The stuff i have is genuine in nature and there is few that can match the quality of all of them.” She says this, while sweeping her hand across in front of everything on the table.

I look at everything and begin to wonder how much it will cost to get some things. Before I can speak up and ask however, she said “ and for a Howler such as myself, i will give you four things for a discount.”

Now, when she said this, for some reason i had a red flag go up in my mind. I had heard stories of people who, when they went to a convention such as the anime convention i was at right now, they had gone up to a vendor and, after buying some stuff, where teleported to a different world. However, those had been people who had seen the merchant from resident evil, so maybe i’m just overthinking things. I think to myself. Without a second thought from then, I grabbed Excalibur, the god eater sword, the R-201, and proceeded for the next ten to twenty minutes to think and peruse the different items on the table. The Shaman had been right, the items here were of exceptional quality. I finally sighed and said “ I guess i will take the shield.”

She happily gets me everything for said things and, once gathered, says” That will be three thousand dollars.” I couldn’t believe it. It couldn’t be true. It had to be a joke.

“What?”

Author's Note

This is the first time i have ever thought of doing something like this and am still hashing out the details. However, if you like it, please tell me why you like it and if you wanna see anything special in the future.
Also when it comes to the shield i saw, think of Erza Scarlet's adamantine shield from Fairy Tale.
