My new home is very cold?

Muffled footsteps are heard.

"...no movement still sir."

"Double 'round again, that flash of light that came from here could not have been good."

Muffled screams from further away.

"Run. RUN, RUUUUUUNNN! They are..." The voice trails off as it gets further away. Many sets of feet can be hear running as well. Soft neighing of horses being herd further away.

Just a short while after, slow steps can be heard along with a soft tap, and then silence again.

*********

"...get up. Kaylin... up. Kaylin it is time to wake up Master!" A voice is heard calling to Kaylin as he jolts awake and tries to sit up, only to hit his head on something hard causing an echo.

"OW! SON OF A-" Exclaimed Kaylin.

"Oh no, quick, help me get this up, he just hit his head trying to sit up." Laughter of a woman's voice can be heard along with a strange gravely laugh coming from many.

As the object that was above Kaylin is lifted, a soft glow enters where he lays, only for him to realize he is laying in a coffin! 'The hell Jestra?! We need to talk about this next time we meet' Kaylin thinks to himself as he rubs his head and sits up. Greeted by a sight that was familiar, and very unfamiliar. Zayxin was by his head helping him sit and as he turned away from her after nodding in thanks he is met with another gaze of glowing purple eyes. The being in front of him was dressed as a wise sage that growled and bowed in greeting.

[System Notice: The Draugr Sage of the Necropolis is pleased to see you wake finally and bids a warm welcome.]

"It is a pleasure to meet another kind face, Draugr Sage, though most would say other wise." Kaylin smiles respectfully and nods in kindness to the Draugr.

[System Notice: The Draugr Sage is unable to speak, just like all the Draugr in the Necropolis. However is very pleased and happily accepts your hello.]

As Kaylin wakes up more, he shivers, realizing that he is just in a binding chest wrap and waist wrap, also noticing that he didn't look as malnourished as he did before sleeping. 'System, why am I like this.'

[System Response: Note from Jestra, Kaylin, once you wake up, take your time getting used to moving your body and possibly doing some exercise. I made sure your body was no longer malnourished but not all of it turned to muscle mass, just enough to keep your body balanced. Also, to help keep your androgyny since you will have the ability to discover yourself in this world I let your hair grow more per one of your goals you had, along with covering sensitive areas for either gender. Be safe out there kiddo, and learn as much as possible before venturing to different places, knowledge of one area makes traversing other areas easier. It will add up, I promise!]

"Jeez, he acts like a doting parent that is being soft with words but making you work for everything. Thanks Jestra" Was all Kaylin could mutter as he stood up and got out of the coffin, only to sit down from standing up to quickly. "Sorry, body feels like it hasn't moved longer than a few minutes."

"Kaylin, you arrived in the sarcophagus roughly 3 months ago, and you were sleeping in a state of stasis in Jestra's realm for a long time before that as well. I was over seeing your body in his realm until you were brought here, I only just arrived, the Draugr of Necropolis have been watching over you since you arrived." Zayxin explained.

The Draugr Sage walked up in front of Kaylin and stopped roughly 2 meters away, and kneeled lowering his head in a bow.

[System Notice: Mental connection to Draugr has been established through Draugr Sage. The skill telepathy has been acquired.]

[ACTIVATED SKILL ACQUIRED: TELEPATHY: Communication with certain species can now be done without use of sign language, allowing freedom of speech between the Summoner and party. This skill also enables the Summoner to speak with followers from any distance, like that of a hive mind. The Summoner being the center of this.]

'Welcome home to Necropolis of the Tundra, Prince Kaylin. We have happily waited for you.'
