You know, the feeling of being awake yet asleep? It's like you closed your eyes and slept, yet you can still feel ur 5 main senses going haywire. Eric was going through the exact same thing.

This wasn't his first time teleporting though, a high class mage like him didn't have any problem teleporting. He could do many things, it's all up to him on how he wills it. It's that simple. However,the problem was the longer distance, the harder and more complex the spell is.

Eric couldn't do anything except feel his 5 main senses going haywire. It's almost a bliss anyways. He didn't ever have a good night sleep since then.

Suddenly all his senses came back in a flash. It wasn't the best thing he felt. It was like someone just spinned him and stopped suddenly. "Ugh... This is worst than when I accidentally levitated myself to the sky just because I fell." Eric thought. Eric slowly opened his eyes only to see nothing. Eric blinked. Not believing what he was seeing. He blinked once more, with the same results.

"Where am I?" Eric said.

"Ok so.. I'm still in my body, still have my magic, mana is regenerating faster than the norm, everything is in tact. Now the problem is, where am I?" Eric checked.

Eric wanted to take a step forward. It was the only action he wanted to do.

But fate didn't allow that. Eric took a step forward and an entire day worth of memories came crashing into his head. He could feel the memories coming in, meaning there was something out there putting his memories in his head.

He clutched his head in pain, now remembering why he was here. His long distance teleportation spell was doing great untill he realized that he didn't put the exact location of where he wanted to go, which made the spell fail and teleport him to... wherever this place was.
"Great. Just because of one careless stupid mistake, I'm here." Eric thought.

Eric just stood there for awhile. Thinking what he should do.

"Holy shit I'm so stupid. I CAN JUST TELEPORT OUT OF THIS PLACE. FUCK YES!" Eric laughed. He had his magic after all.
Eric concentrated. He slowly tried to teleport his home. His only home. But he couldn't. No matter what he did, even if he still had mana, the runes weren't appearing. He then tried simple spells. Fire, Ice, Earth, nothing. All the same results.
"Oh god. Am I stuck here for eternity?" Eric said shakingly.

"No, Eric Sträva. You are not meant to be here." A mysterious wise voice came out of no where. Eric snapped his head up to the voice. He still couldn't see anything. "Where am I?!" Eric shouted.

"You sure are a feisty one. You're in a rift inbetween space and time. Mortals are not meant to be here." The mysterious voice said in a way that warned him that he shouldn't fuck with him. "You cannot be here. You have realized that you cannot see yes? Soon, every single other sense you have in your body will be gone. It is surprising your still alive from how long you have been here." The mysterious voice continued.

"How long have I been here and how can I get out?" Eric pleaded.

"Well, since you have asked so kindly, I have an option for both of us that will benefit both of us in the end. Are you up to it?" Voice said. Eric wasn't stupid. Even if he was stuck here for as long as he voice said, he just wont stoop so low that he would say yes to this mysterious voice immediately. "What is it?" Eric asked.

"A clever one I see. I cannot send you back to your world as it has been sadly destroyed by their sun. I can however send you to a world that I need you to protect. There will be many evils that will plague that world. I need your help to protect those who live there.I sadly cannot intervene as I have been thrown into this rift by my creator. I am fond of that world. Keep it safe Eric Sträva." The Voice said.

"My world.. HAS BEEN DESTROYED?! Oh my god. Crystal, my kids, all gone. Wait. If your saying that my world has been destroyed by the sun, THAT MUST MEAN I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS! Oh my god. Oh no. Oh n-"

"Stop this nonsense and listen. Are you up to it?"The Voice said.
Eric didn't know what to do. His family, his WORLD, is gone. In a few seconds for him. He doesn't have anything else to live for anymore. He doesn't have anything to do here except to perish.
"I accept. But I got 2 more questions." Eric said with no emotion. He had no purpose left here.
"What is it Eric Sträva?" The Voice said.
"Who are you and Why me?"Eric said.

"I chose you because of the sheer amount of time you have spent here and the amount of mana you have. You have a personality to match that power unlike some others that came before you. You will not betray your loved ones if you really had to. You respect people, you do not lie to who you respect and many more. I have a lot of names. But you may remember me as Navadia. Now, question time has ended. One thing about sending you there. You will have to use all your will power to survive."

Before Eric could reply how and why, he was suddenly thrown into a world of green.
