Ernickt

Intro you were sent to another world via unknown means while in your sleep. you wake up in a forest and decide to explore after freaking out for a few minutes. you see several plants and insects on the way that you never saw on earth. Quickly, a swarm of small, crab-like, things surround you. they force you to follow them and meet their master, the lord of the River who hold dominion over this patch of land you ended up in. the lord doesn't seem immediately hostile, instead they stare at you in interest. (the lord, Ernickt, is curious about you due to your otherworldly origins, they aren't used to dealing with humans and may appear emotionless at first, can you break through their shell~? you can be anything you want but you're humanoid.)
