The man lead me to my room. He locked the door and cast a spell on it. It must have been a force field. I recognize it from school.
He then looks at me kindly and not seriously like I expected. "John, I know you must have a million questions on your mind, but I will try to explain everything that just happened."
"You are a wizard and so am I. We will be seeing each other a lot, so you might want to know my name, Merlin."
"Merlin, as in Camelot." "No. But my parents intentionally named me after him. He is my great-great-great and about five more greats grandfather. My technical name is Merlin III."
"Now can you tell me more about myself."
"Of course. Now your real parents died on the day you were born. You see wizards like yourself and I are very rare.
When you were born, a group of criminals in your home dimension and mines wanted to steal you and raise you as their own, so you can help them conquer the world with your great power."
"How did my parents die." "We are getting to that. You see your parents wouldn't let them take you. Your dad had powers to make portals and he made one and sent you to us. They died in battle with them. We knew they would come for you, so I traveled into this dimension and bought you to your foster parents. They are spies from the other world."
"What do I do now? I can not just sit here and act like none of this ever happened."
"Of course not. I am going to train you every day after school and weekends. Your powers are not going to waste."
"One other question, how did those creatures travel to this dimension. " "Well that is a long story. You see, one morning when I visited that dimension and came back. I didn't pay attention and they saw me do it. They transported themselves to the other side of the portal. Luckily, they aren't fast and I killed almost all of them. You killed almost the rest and I doubt that we should worry about them anymore.
They are pretty much the lowest level they come in. As you can tell by how fast and easily you defeated them."
He flicks his wrist and a portal opens. I assume that it is the portal to the other dimension. "We will start training now," he tells me suddenly serious. "We have been awaiting you to discover your powers. Your future team is eager to meet you."
Teammates. I am horrible in a team. I would much rather go solo, but I guess if Merlin thinks that is best for me. I will go with it.
On the other side is a long hall with countless doors. Merlin leads me to one of them. It is labeled classroom. Great, more learning. I am guessing my first subject is "Basics of the Magic Dimension."
Inside the door are a few other kids my age. "Meet your teammates," Merlin exclaims to me.
