Gingerly, I swung my legs over the side of the cot, the cool touch of the floor against my bare feet jolting me further into awareness.
A soft rustling sound reached my ears.
Trying to locate its origin, I ventured into a narrow corridor outside.
The place bathed in an ethereal light, which seemed to emanate from everywhere and nowhere.
The illumination highlighted the delicate negligee I found myself in.
It was a sheer fabric, soft as a whisper against my skin, with intricate lace patterns that played hide and seek with the light.
Up ahead, the corridor opened into a wider room.
My eyes widened as I took in the sight.
Females, with varied forms and features, gracefully stepped onto raised platforms.
Their movements were harmonious, their postures exuding an air of regality.
And each one of them wore the same delicate negligee that adorned me.
The entire setup was reminiscent of some grand, otherworldly runway show.
The room seemed to hum with anticipation, a symphony of unspoken conversations in languages I could, somehow, comprehend.
“About time you woke up,” remarked a voice, cutting through my daze.
I turned to find a woman, human in appearance, regarding me with an amused smile.
She was dressed in a sleek silver gown, which cascaded gracefully to the floor.
Her dark hair was pulled up into a tight bun, and her eyes sparkled with a mischievous light.
“Lily,” she introduced herself, “the madam of this establishment.”
I blinked, trying to process everything. “Establishment? Where exactly am I?”
Lily chuckled softly, her laughter like the tinkling of wind chimes. “Welcome to the Prize Pool, a place where Champions come seeking companionship.”
I could feel my cheeks heating up. “Companionship?” I echoed incredulously.
Lily motioned to the females. “Yes. That’s what we’re all here for.”
Gulping down the anxiety that was threatening to bubble up, I tried to maintain a semblance of calm. “I don’t understand. Why am I here? I was just in a park on Earth, and then…”
Lily’s gaze softened. “You must have passed out before the drone explained. It’s all right. It happens sometimes. Transitions can be a bit jarring, especially for newcomers. But fear not, everything will be explained in due course.”
I felt a shiver run down my spine.
The sheer magnitude of my situation began to weigh on me.
I was in a different world, amidst beings I couldn’t even begin to comprehend. “I… I need to go home. I have things I need to do. Friends… Family…”
“We are your friends now,” Lily announced. “And your family. Come. There’s much to show you, and I promise, it won’t be as overwhelming as you think.”
My senses were still in overdrive, trying to process the amalgamation of sights, sounds, tastes, and scents of this new world.
But if I was going to navigate my way through it, I needed allies.
