Chapter 2

There was a place, where magic and life came together. But over time things began to change for the better or worse. Nobody knew why, it just happened. The place became a doorway to some paradise but at the same time, it wasn't a paradise. As far as you can see, the place was of an otherworldly type, but not to the naked eye.

Note that it was special, so far special that the very first regular person, who found the place made it to a gateway for his family and family only.

It wasn’t until one of his children thought this rule was dumb and told his friends about it. One of the friends decided to hurt the child and wanted to take it for themselves, but suddenly the door immediately closed and turned red as thick as blood.

The first came and saw what happened and cursed the friend of his child that those who came after them would fall to the same fate as they would as they grew older in the years to come. The friend begged for their life to be spared and for those to come after him. The first was not pleased by this action, but he soon realized that this was an opportunity to hold a bit of control over those that bad intentions for him and his family. He told the friend that he would not lift the curse but to hold the friend as a servant to his family, and so would the friend's family as well.

The friend was deeply disappointed by this action by the first. But he knew he created a problem and unknowingly ruined his life and his family. So he agreed to become a servant, and so will his family as well.

After that finished, the child of the first was also punished for disobeying his father's words. As for the other friends, they, too, agreed to become servants to the first and his family. There is nothing left to do, for the gateway changed into a blue-hue color as if it was attended by the emotions of the first.

No one knew what happened next it was like everything was gone and how disappeared as if it never even existed in the first place. What do you think what happened, my dear readers? Hope can only be just one simple spec of imagination. Maybe next time things shouldn't be taken for granted.
