Cade ambled along the street, quietly humming to himself. It was nice to get a little extra time to relax, he thought.
He had just finished work early, a pleasant surprise which came around every once in a while. As he strolled along the pavement, he turned left into a small park. it was nice weather, too. The evening was coming on soon, bringing a cool wash over the afternoon, and bathing the greenery in a soft, subtly warm light. It was awfully quiet as well, most people having gone home already, so the park was pretty much empty.
He actually got so zoned out that he didn't see the pond in front of him.
Doing a complete ninety degrees forward over the fulcrum that was the side of the pond, he fell into the water feature head-on.
At least, he would have, if there hadn't been a sudden disturbance above the surface of the water. he vanished into the portal, leaving no sound behind.
He was jolted awake by the mishap, and was especially confused to see what appeared to be a wall of leaves heading rapidly towards him. his first thought was that he had banged his head rather badly, but then there was a tangling of branches and he found himself slowing down. nevertheless, he hit what was apparently the ground.
When he came to, he found himself with an unpleasant headache. As he regained his vision, he took stock of his surroundings. At first he guessed he was still in the park, what with all the trees, but he soon realized that he was dry and this was clearly a different place.
Standing up shakily, he saw that this forest seemed to go on for quite some distance. How he'd ended up here he had no idea, but he couldn't help but notice the chest on the ground next to him.
Looking around cautiously, he opened the chest. Inside it he found some clothes, which he thought looked rather nice, despite the fact that they seemed like they must have been dragged out of some LARP. He also found a lute, a rather peculiar one at that.
