He was used to waking up in strange places. But this was different.
This wasn't someone else's apartment and bed, or even the gutter. His mouth didn't taste like the stale version of the night before, when he'd paid dirty money for dirty substances. He felt... new. Not rested or energetic, just-- like someone else.
Caledor Hijin sat up. His clothes caught in strange angles and when he touched his chest, the material was stiff. Light was coming in through slits in this room but it was otherwise dark. He frowned and made a gesture with his arm, which ended in his fist slamming into the wall he'd found for balance in the blackness. The stone he hit felt porous, and gave for the violence. His anger, or rather the energy from his anger went outward, and then rows of fires lit up the apparently long space he was trapped in.
A stone corridor, lined with torches. Somehow they'd ignited for his tantrum. Caledor rolled his shoulders and tested himself, his state. Looking down at his hands he discovered leather armor, effectively cut. Black with green details. The gloves were comforting in their tightness. Intressting. He should be more upset about this, because he certainly wasn't in the port city of Yareli anymore. By the smells and designs of this room, he might not even be in his fucking time anymore.
But a calm slowed down his heartbeat. Like this was home, too. Like he belonged.
He took the gloves off and hung them on his belt, and touched the stone again. Felt solid. This wasn't the kind of chalky rocks that should give for his force. But when he tried again, scratching at it, the very solid material let him carve out rows with his fingertips. He sucked on his lip in consideration, and then he sprung into reckless action, just the kind of mentality that let him survive in the drugtrade of where he was really from.
He tackled the wall decisively, and was let through with a hard sound. As the wall crumbled behind him, he was met with a rather sunny day, outside. Monoliths in an old building, open to the sky because of its destruction. Must have been some time ago given the vegetation. Yeah, this wasn't his time. Looking at the sun and the trees that rose beyond this structure, it wasn't even his planet, from what he knew. He ran toward it, that new, strange sun, and when he did, he covered more distance than he should. It ended him against the outer wall, and he went through it just as easily as before.
The vegetation outside wasn't overly wild, not the kind with roots overtaking the ruins he'd just come from. A forest. He found a puddle and knelt by it. It was still his features looking back at him. But his hair was long and tied back. The armor was made for him, surely. He sighed through his nose to dispel some of the confusion, and stood. What's more, where did these abilities come from? And what was this spiraling vortex inside him? It felt like something he could spend outward, like his irritation that might had triggered the torches.
He curled his palms around his mouth to make a cone.
"Where the FUCK am I?!" he shouted into the green unknown.
