On a neverending night, unfamiliar, unconscious people dropped on the hills, strangers to that world started falling all around the land. The critters scattered and the beasts hid, all watching with anticipation the strange scene in front of them. On a particular beaten path between four tall pillars, there were no more than eight people, remaining far off from most of the other humans in that world. The only indication of settlement in sight was a small gate leading into one of the pillars, as beyond it, there seemed to be more pillars that went on and on without any end in sight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to start the final round for the United Republic of Nations' Probending Cup's final match! Here come the Cabbage Corp Cat Deers and the Republic City Raven Eagles!"
Both the teams riled up their own supporters, getting fired up for the final round themselves. As the referree signalled for them to get in place, they hopped to their spots and took their stances. With the loud, deafening whistle, a stream of water, a stone disk and a blast of fire went from each side to the other, initiating the match. The Ravens' waterbender was quickly pushed back by a stone to the stomach. Their earthbender followed suit, but the Cat Deers couldn't touch the firebender who kept avoiding every shot. As the round got longer, the fans grew more restless and excited. The Ravens knocked off two of their opponents, and everyone but the firebender from the Ravens was pushed off as well. Just as the bell was rung to announce the tiebreaker, the ground rumbled.
"It seems there's a small tremor, but no need to worry, folks! The stadium is thankfully safe from earthquakes."
After a brief silence in the arena, the muttering of thousands of people echoed all at once, only for the stadium to shake again. A strong light shone from under the water, attracting everyone's attention. In a split second, the light went up, eating up everything in its path.
Luca Senge
Luca slowly sat up, grasping the bridge of his nose, groaning. Blinking rapidly, the young man shot a few glances left and right. "Wha--" His eyes widened, exasperated. His spatial and temporal sensitivity had left him entirely, leaving him confused in the middle of nowhere along with seven others he had never seen before. He thought back, sitting pensively, trying to remember what had happened last. "The match..." he muttered to himself before looking up to see the strangely bright sky of the night. He mumbled again, getting up to his feet. "What the hell is going on?"
