"Failed portal and unexpected fall"

"Bad days happen to everyone ya know. That being said my day has fucking sucked. First I wake up as my body LITERALLY put itself back together. Then come to find out my grandfather a deity from a world I never heard of and he throws me into some sort of demonic frenzy, I save a girl from being killed and end up in some random ass city. I rip through the creatures my Grand dad sent after me and finally think I might get a moment of rest. Yeah right, like my luck would allow that.

Not long after I went back to normal my new buddy Kross get turned into a portal and two guys pop out and start stuff. The boy took off but the guy in armor desides he wants a piece of me which is great -rolls eyes-. To cut that story short I threw a Lance that blows stuff up at him and he went boom. At this point I'm tired as shit and just wanna leave before anyone else pops outta the woodwork wanting some of me so I open a portal and leave.

That my friends is where this lovely story begins with me falling out of a portal twenty feet In the air." ~Passage from the Journal of Gama Ritter.

No sooner had Gama stepped through the portal than he exited and began to fall. Gama's mind was fuzzy, he body ached and all this loveliness was wrapped up with a pretty pink bow as he hit a slanted out crop above a stores entrance, rolled off and hit the ground.

"... ow... well that sucked." Gama groaned as he lay there flat on his back.

The shop keeper hearing all the noise came out to see what was going on.

"Holy shit man are you ok?" The shopkeep said looking down at Gama.

"Yep, it feels amazing to fall twenty feet and hit a damn building before hitting the ground." Gama said sarcastically.

The shopkeep shook his head as he held out a hand to help Gama up.

"Seems like your fall wasn't as bad as it seemed if you can be that much of a smartass."

Gama chuckled as he took the man's hand and slowly got to his feet.

"Well my father always said it's better to be a smartass than a dumb ass." Gama said with a chuckle.

"I think we'll get along fine young man. Now lets get you in one of these chairs out here and maybe a cup of coffee?" chuckled the shopkeep as he led Gama to a table in front of the shop.

"That sounds like a plan." Gama said as he sat down in a chair and the shopkeep went inside.

"Now all I need is to figure out what the hell went wrong with that portal..."

Charlotte had been somewhat nearby, trying to understand a map of the district and figure out where she should go, when she'd heard the sound of the strange man falling and hitting the building on the way down. Eyes wide with concern, she quickly ran over to him, though the slowed down when she saw the shopkeeper help him to his feet. Incredulous that he was fine, Charlotte muttered "Glückspilz..." to herself before approaching him. "Excuse me, are you alright? I can do healing magic if you need it. She offered. Once he was fully on his feet, Charlotte would be looking up at the taller man.

"And, can I ask what happened?"

Gama had been ready to sit down as the Shopkeep had gone inside to get him a cup of coffee. Gama leaned against the table as he heard a female voice behind him and he stood up and turned. At first he had been looking at eye level for someone but after a few seconds looked down to see a blond girl standing there looking up at him.

"Magic huh? No that wont be needed but thank you. As for what happened I'm still trying to figure that out myself."

Gama smiled warmly, it was nice to see there were still people out there who didn't want him dead. The Shopkeep came out with two cups, a pot of coffee, cream and sugar, and a plate of cookies on a tray and sat them on the table before heading back inside to tend to customers.

"Well if you don't have anything better to do you could join me for a cup of coffee and chat for a while."

Gama would sit down in the chair next to him and set up his coffee, cream and three spoons of sugar before pouring in the coffee and mixing it with a spoon.

"My names Gama, Gama Ritter. Nice to meet ya."

Charlotte frowned at how it took the man a moment to realize he had to look down at her, but at least he didn't comment on it, instead thanking her for her offer of healing magic but saying it wasn't needed. Which was somewhat surprising as even with reinforcement magic, Charlotte would still be hurt after a fall like that. "If you're sure..." She'd say before the shopkeeper came back with coffee, cookies, and other stuff. He'd set up their stuff at a table, at which point Charlotte was surprised that a cup had also been brought out for her. Not wanting to be rude, she followed suit and sat down, grabbing a cookie and starting to nibble on it, but avoiding the coffee. She didn't really like bitter stuff. The man introduced himself as Gama, and Charlotte smiled at his manners as she responded in kind, "My name is Charlotte Klein von Graf Böhm, but you can call me Char or Charlotte for short."

As she took a bite of her cookie, some crumbs would fall onto her lap, which she would quickly brush off, wanting to keep her officer uniform clean. It might be smart for her to get some more local clothing. Thanks to her QuikGear(TM) she could switch between different sets of equipment easily.

"So Herr Ritter," She started, as she gave him a closer look over. She took note of his muscular build and the scar on the side of his face, as well as the way he held himself and to her delight noted that he had some physical features native to the Fatherland. "I take it you are somewhat used to a rougher lifestyle, but isn't falling out of the sky a bit much?" She leaned a bit to glance under the table to look at his legs, noting that he didn't have any of the types of flight equipment she was familiar with, nor was there a Operation Orb around his neck. "Especially without any flight gear equipped." She idling rubbed a finger on the Operation Orb around her neck.

"Charlotte huh, that's a nice name."

Gama swigged a bit of his coffee when he noticed the girl wasn't having any.

"Not a big fan of coffee i'm guessing. Well lets try this."

Gama held his hand out and a small ink portal opened up. He reached in and pulled out a small bottle with a pop top and a red label. He twisted off the top in hiss of carbonated air and sat the soda in front of Charlotte.

"Try this, you look like a girl with more of a sweet tooth."

Gama grabbed a cookie and took a bite and washed it down with a swig of coffee.

"As for the flying, yeah it was a little bit of a slip up on my part but honestly with how crazy my life has been lately and how utterly exhausted I am right now its no wonder my portal failed."

Gama stretched and rubbed his shoulder.

"So what brings you to this place, you a native or a traveler like me?"

Charlotte smiled when Gama said her name was nice, she liked it too. But she frowned when he commented on her dislike of coffee. A lot of people liked to make fun of her for that, that it was childish she disliked bitter drinks so much. But for the moment Gama simply seemed to be offering an alternative, some kind of bubbling drink, which she tentatively sipped. She cringed slightly at the unusual tingling sensation of the carbonation, it being unlike anything she'd had before. Yes it was sweet, but the bubbling was too weird, she put the bottle down and listened to him talk about messing up a portal. Must be one of those odd magics they use in this world. She thought to herself. Ever since that being had placed her in this world, Charlotte had been surprised to learn that there were other systems of magic used by different people.

"Ah, I'm...a traveler, I guess. I was...uh...displaced from my world onto this one. I've apparently been charged with defeating someone called "The One" before I'm allowed to return. You wouldn't know anything about The One, would you? No one really seems to want to talk about it."

Gama stiffened when he heard Char mention the One. He scratched his beard softly as he pondered her reasons.

"Look Charlotte I'm ganna be one hundred percent honest with you, I'm not doubting you strength or resolve but that particular being is way to strong. You wouldn't even be able to scratch him, he's on a whole other level.

Gama looked into his palm and as if sensing his emotion as he recalled the only time he felt the power of the being known as One a flow of ink flowed through his fingers, turning every color of the rainbow.

"I've only felt his power from a distance but even being as close as I was his aura alone made it felt like the world was crashing down on my shoulders, it was the absolutely meaning of power. I'm not sure even me or my friends could take him down even with how strong we've become. But if you're dead set on this goal all I can say is wait till you feel you're strong enough."

Gama looked her in the eyes and saw the drive and he couldn't help be smile.

"Do... do you want power? To get stronger?"

Charlotte smirked at Gama's warnings about how powerful The One was. She appreciated the concern, but she was far from stupid.

"I'm well aware that my enemy is powerful, my God would not have set me on this path if it were so simple. But there are different types of strength and power, different ways I can focus on improving myself depending on what exactly the nature of The One is. To know how best to go about my task, I need to know my enemy. Yes, I want power, I want to be stronger, but that's too simple a description. I need to know in what way I must be strong in order to defeat him."

At this point Charlotte stood up from her seat, and put her hands on the table as she leaned forward, her face full of focus and determination as she continued, "Please Gama, tell me anything you know about him! What is the nature of his abilities? Is he a singular enemy or does he have Generals and Lieutenants I can take out to weaken him? Is he some kind of giant monster or a human abomination?"

Her face turned into an adorable pout at this point as she sullenly said, "Seriously, nobody will tell me anything."

Gama sighed as he leaned back in his chair.

"Like I said before I've only felt his aura from a distance, other than that I really don't know any details about'em."

Gama finished his coffee and stood up from the table and stretched.

"Well if fighting the One is your ultimate goal then you have a lot of training to do."

Gama looked Charlotte over and examined her aura. He felt arcane energy from her.

"Judging by your aura you're mage, am I right? Well I can't teach you any magic, I gave up the ability to tap into the arcane magics a long time ago but I can train you to not be completely reliant on magic in a fight. That being said if you wish to train it'll have to wait till after I get my strength back up, i'm exhausted. But first things first, i need to find an inn, care to walk with me?"

Gama pushed his seat in and began walking for a few paces till he turned slightly and looked at Charlotte waiting for her response.

Charlotte frowned, pouting a bit that she couldn't get any of the information she needed. But at least this guy was actually willing to help her out, unlike how most people would be running away at this point. Although when he commented that she had a lot of training to do, she raised a finger and quickly said, "Just to clarify, I have no illusions about defeating The One on my own, I'm going to grow stronger but I'll need a team to help me."

Then Gama seemed to look Charlotte over and she stood proudly under his gaze (despite her short stature). He commented that he pegged her for a mage, which she nodded at. At his offer for some martial training she shrugged a bit, saying, "As a soldier of the Empire, I am proficient in close quarters combat and melee, and I know spells for enhancing my martial ability. And since I don't really plan on diversifying all that much, I think it's better for me to just focus on getting better at magic."

That didn't stop her from following Gama, however, quickly falling into step next to him and looking up at him with a smile. "Hey...thanks for talking with me. Most people haven't exactly been willing to talk after I mention 'The One'."
