Bright lights burn my eyes. "Gabriel get up! It's time for school!" Moaning I get out of bed and change my clothes. It's what I always wear the black gym shorts and red t-shirt. Breakfast is on the table as usual and my backpack is ready. Once I ate I grab my stuff and rush out the door trying to avoid my parents.

A cold gust of wind hits my face and I get a shiver down my spine. I pass through the path I go through in the woods but everything seems different today. The turns don't look the same, the forest critters aren't there... "Where is everything?" I shouted. Then a sparkle caught his eye. A necklace with two dragons coiling around each other in the shape of a circle.

All at once the landscape changed around me, the trees changing shape and color from brown, to green, to red. Then all of a sudden a giant elf approached me and slung me around his back. "Who are you? Where are you taking me?" "Your questions will be answered mortal, now shut your mouth".

As he drags me I notice eyes in the bushes. "Hey giant dude, something is watching us" "They are the Fae. They won't hurt you.... Unless you don't give them their gumba berries". The path is surrounded by lush forests with red, green, and yellow leaves. Then I saw shadows starting to dance around us. The elf's eyes had fear in them and he started sprinting toward the bridge a couple yards away from us. Then I blacked out.

Once I woke up I saw the most epic person ever. She was also an elf but she was beautiful. She had a crown on so I assumed she was the queen of these lands. Then she broke silence by saying "The Light Bringer has returned".
