Viridi looked at the man with pure anger. "Who are you? Why did you take me here and not some random girl off the street?" The man chuckled.
"Because you were a random girl off the street, with less...'random.'" Viridi looked at him in horror.
"W-What do do you mean by that?"
"We were looking for specifically you, Viridi. You and you alone," The man explained. Viridi, still trying to absorb all of this, simply nodded.
"You only answered one of my questions."
"Haha, yeah, dat's Viridi, alright," a bigger man entered the room, speaking with a heavy accent.
"...How come I'm the only one that doesn't know what's going on here?!" the girl suddenly outburst, making both men turn to face her.
The bigger man spoke again. "It'll all be explained soon, missy. For now, Rush here will take you to your quarters." Rush, Viridi thought. At least I know one of these weirdo's names. She decided not to fight it this time and just do as they say, or else  something could be done about her...things she would rather not think about. Following Rush, he took her out of the room and down a large and spacious hallway, with off-white walls and a red rug that expanded the entire length of the corridor. After a bit of waling, Rush led her through an opening in the wall which led to a cozy living room of sorts. Velvet red chairs were spread about, and a fireplace crackled nearby. Why a fire was going at 10 a.m, Viridi would never know.
"Your quarters are through that door. I suggest getting some rest, and then everything will be explai-"
"I will not rest until it's all explained. Every bit of it."
"Viridi, I highly suggest-"
"Answers. Now, pretty boy." Rush was struck for a moment, then he snickered.
"You want answers? Fine. I'll give you them." You were chosen by our gods to save our side of the barrier. You see, out world is at a ferocious war with a man named Tre. He aims at taking over the world of Ackaria, and then once he has, he'll break the barrier, conquering your world as well. You were chosen to stop this war. Alone."
Viridi was speechless. She looked at Rush, who's expression was emotionless. But was that a twinge of regret in his blue eyes?
"War? Ackaria? Are you freaking insane?! I was back home five minutes ago, and now I'm being told all of this?!" Viridi snapped at Rush.
"Trust me Viri-"
"How can I trust you?! For all I know, this is some prank! Let me go...NOW." Viridi's eyes flared with the last word, exploding into a deep lavender. They emitted a lighter shade of a glow that lit up her face. Rush didn't say anything. He simply nodded, and continued as if nothing had happened.
"Trust me Viridi, you will be released as soon as this is all over." With that, Rush exited and went back down the hallway, leaving Viridi alone in the room. Her eyes faded back to the deep brown.

"...When what, exactly, is over?" she asked to no one in particular. Not lie there was anyone she could trust to ask.
 
I was listening to "Smile Smile Smile" as I was writing this, so it was hard to keep the serious atmosphere :XD:

SO MUCH DIALOGUE. But a lot of things are explained.

And Viridi is older than I made her out to be (goes to edit first chapter) so it's not like a 12 year old just called out 21-year-old Rush. She's actually around 17-ish.

Stone has and Australian accent :D

EDIT- Fixed some minor description issues, thanks to ~Verzne for pointing them out. I got some plot out of it, too. :)

Uh-huh, yup; this has the potential to turn into a good story. :meow: Not bad at all! I can see why Viridi would be a little spooked at this stage. :XD:
