~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You walk along a dusty forest path, the prints of boots and hooves marking it as well traveled. The sounds of nature surround you, birdsong and insect calls, the rustling of wind through the branches, and the bickering of the twins. All was well. All, that is, except that your horses had all spooked a while back and taken off without you. All that you have is what you can carry, and tracking down your mounts and pack animals was proving more tedious than might have been expected.
You round a corner into a clearing that looked like it was often used for camping. An unnaturally large raven stands in the very center of the path. Its head turns back and forth, surveying you with one pale gold eye and one silver. Glinting around its neck is a gold chain, with five square-cut emeralds set along it. The raven gave one definitive caw, spreading its wings wide as a bright flash from the central gem engulfs you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You awake to the sounds of harsh voices in a language, maybe more than one, that you don't recognize. As you open your eyes to the bright sunlight you see creatures that resemble animals, if they had been made humanoid. Birds of prey, canines, felines, and even repile faces stare down at you, accompanies by the points of spears and swords. There are also creatures far stranger than that, the faces of tigers and leopards are perched on humanoid torsos, which are themselves set atop the bodies of great cats. All of these strange creatures wear variations of what is obviously a uniform, deep blue with gold lining, and the silhouette of a tiger done in gold on the right breast.
Beyond them, limestone walls rise up on all four sides, the space between filled with tile paths and blooming plants. In the center of the large courtyard, a fountains bubbles, green marble accent and gold decorations glinting in the harsh sunlight. The water of the fountain only adds to the humidity hanging in the air, oppressive to those who are unused to it. The heat also adds to the heaviness of the air, though the beings around you don't seem to take any notice of it.
One of the cat-centaurs whose garb is more ornate holds up a hand, and the rest stop. It speaks, pauses, and says something in what could only be another language. It cycles through five distinct languages, then shakes its head and waves someone else over. It was another one of the same species, this time dressed in lighter blue with silver decorations, and no crest. It is a deep red with dark brown tiger stripes, and when it speaks, it is with a deep, yet pleasant, growl. You understand it, each in your native tongue.
"Can you understand me?"
