Captured

I continue, trying not to cry now. "I'm 14 now, but they enslaved my race for 7 years and just when I started a rebellion and activated some strange power in a deathmatch against the emperor, that's when he started to seem scared and completely dominate the fight against me, instinctively causing my mother to create a portal and throw me in there."

"For the split second I had before passing out, I saw my mom smile at me as the emperor charged up a beam behind her and..." I start to break down.

The monkey-like humanoid seemed to be brought to tears as she then pats my head, cheering me up slightly.

"I understand, it must've been hard for you to have to go through enslavement for 7 years, just to have your rebellion involve you almost dying and your mother taking your place instead." She keeps patting my head as she also cries.

"Thanks." I say, blushing and smiling at her now. "I really needed those pats."

She blushes back. "I..." She pouts again, trying to shake the blush off her face. "Hmph, quit acting so cute already.*

"Huh? But how am I-"

"SHUT UP!" She breathes, "Hmm..." She just looks at me inquisitively and asks bluntly, "What are you?"

I tilt my head. "What do you mean?"

She stops bandaging me. "Well, for starters, you don't seem like you're from here, you came out of a portal that seemed to belong to another dimension, and hell, the energy I'm sensing from you isn't even something I've seen before. I mean..."

"Hold on, what planet are we on?" I ask, cutting her off.

"Gaia, land of the Gaian." She happily exclaims.

"Okay, to answer you, I come from a planet named Astromia. The planet is in the middle of two neighboring planets called Arcania, and Asteria. I think we all have 18 moons together with celestial bodies. Actually, I think we come from a different dimension entirely." I scratch my head. "Back in my dimension, we all just have one energy, either Solar, Void, and Arc. Is that the same here too?"

She shakes her head, smiling. "Not quite. You see, every living being on this planet has to have a little bit of everything, you know? The primordial forces of Solar, Void, and Arc."

"What are you talking abo-" She raises her hand to stop me.

"Void is to shape the body and give form to a soul, Solar is to give the body life and energy to that soul, and Arc is to supercharge said soul, thus, a being is made. While what I'm saying is an analogy, you can use either energy as they all have their own distribution of arts and such, so you can really just use one energy type if you want to." She gets back to bandaging.

"Eh? Where I come from, you have Void as an Astrolian, Arc as an Arcanian, and Solar as an Asterian. What the hell do you mean by using either or? You're either born with one or the other."

She doesn't answer, instead, she finishes doing my head, making me look like a bandaged mummy. "Ugh, I look like mummified toilet piece of wrapping." She just snickers.

Getting a better look at my surroundings, I realize we must be in a tent. "Speaking of wrappings, is this your house or some- mmph!" She threw some clothes at my face, it looks like a simple burgundy short-sleeved shirt with black baggy pants. "Even though you bandaged my feet, what about the shoes?" I ask, putting on everything.
