Mianite: The Land of Dagrun

Chapter 18

Spark's POV
"UGH" I grunt waking up, "Where am I?" I ask aloud, not knowing if anyone would answer. I stand up, stiff yet also shakily. After a few steps and a bit of stretching I very much better. I'm in a room made of wood. It has lots of books that aren't very organized and the small bed I just crawled out of. I leave enter a rather long corridor. It's not like a hospital. Those are never this wooden and homey feeling. My door had the number "5" on it. I shout out a greeting, trying to find where I am and if there are people around.

"He's awake!!! I heard him!!" a familiar voice shouts.

"They finally up, Phil?" another familiar voice shouts back. I remember someone named Phil but who?

"Well no crap, Tom," a sarcastic tone echoes. A man wearing orange googles walked in. He was dressed like someone straight from a steampunk England. Wait! I remember these guys.

"Do you remember me?" I ask them as the three walk into the hallway.

"What?" Phil and Matt ask in unison.

"I do," Tom answers, "These two were probably just way too drunk out of their skulls to remember even having a visitor."

I laugh, "Yes, they were pretty drunk. Anyways, to reintroduce myself to you two, I am Spark Maron and this is my best friend P... Is Pete here!?!? Is he alright!?!!?" I end shouting. I'm not gonna lose him. Not now, when I need him more than I've ever needed him before.

"Calm down, Spark," Phil pats my shoulder.

"Where is my best friend?" I ask, not shouting but still above normal volume.

"He's just outside. He woke up early this morning," Matt answers. It was early night. The sun may have went down an hour ago judging by the dull brightness in the sky.

I run past them. I gotta go find him. I race down the hallway past the three wizards, exit through the door they entered, and almost tumbled down some stairs out that doorway. I get to the exit and sprint around the streets of the wizard's town. I see him, but he doesn't see me. I yell his name and run towards him. I tackle him into the grass. It scared him at first then laughed and hugged me.

"I'm so happy you're back. Tom said it could still be another day or two till you get enough strength back."

"Im sorry."

"For what?"

"For making us go to Dagrun and everything that followed."

"I would have done the same. We are going to help fix this, and then we can finally get back to normal life."

"I hope so." I say back, "So how did we get here?"

"Well how far back do you remember?" Pete answers with a question.

"Last thing I remember was being in Clarissa's realm, and being told that I'm one of the keys to solving this."

"Well what happened after that, basically, is that Clarissa knocked us both out and teleported us back to our realm." Pete explained.

"Why here?" I wondered aloud.

"I don't know. She's weird." Pete answered.

Pete's POV
I decided not to tell him about her being taken in by Mianite. He feels bad about this whole war already. He doesn't need to know that we were involved in it in any way.

"What's that in the distance?" Spark asks, breaking the silence I forgot about.

"Uhh, Mr. Wizard People?" I yell in the direction of the building they usually hangout in.

"Hmm?" Matt calls back.

"There are a small group of people coming this way."
