I woke up back in my home, in my bed. I was safe, or so I thought. I tried sitting up but I couldn't it was as if my dream wasn't a dream. I rolled over to the floor and grabbed the wall. I slowly picked my self up as the blood started pumping throughout my lower body. I fell to the ground over and over again, more times than I would like to admit actually. As I was getting up the wall a voice frightened me. I nearly lost balance as I rotated y head to see what it was. The women looked a lot younger now sitting in the unusable chair from my living room. I was more surprised than she was for she was using the chair. I was defenseless as she sat there. "I liked you better when you were asleep" she said with a chuckle "You were more productive sleeping than you are trying to walk." Confused and freaked out I mumbled "Who are you?" "Ah you speak, I thought living out here by yourself would have ruined your mind." She seemed amused. A noise came from my living room a loud crash. I stumbled out to see that it was a young boy stood at my now broken calendar looking down at it.


He looked up at me and the girl and uttered "oopsie" and grinned.


This kids was no older than 6 he couldn't be what were they doing out here? They both had heavy clothing on and seemed to be sweating. I felt bad for the kids,


"Where are you from" was my initial question. The girl answered "well where are we?" She asked. "Do you not know what this place is?" It was weird how they didn't know where they were they didn't seem like earthlings but they were different, different how it was beyond me. In my moment of daze I lost track of the boy he was on the couch jumping. I ran to stop the inevitable and I was barely to late made it before the couch imploded into 2 broken halves and the boy was trying to stop from crying but he couldn't help it, he was hurt and you could see it in his face as it turned red the tears rolled down his face as he wailed for a good 5 minutes. The boy had lungs I'd give that to him, his sister was looking around my home with disgust it was all I had and sine was judging it while her brother's tears were trickling down on my floor. "Who are you "I asked clearly not going to know where they were from. "In due time "the girl said picking the boy up like a mother would her child. I was shocked they had a bond so they be related but what was up with their clothes I had never seen anything like it the fabric was a scratchy kind and it was particularly heavy looking. "Where are you from" I asked again. The girl looked at me, her blue eyes pierced me like ice. She looked sad and hurt like she could cry any second. "We are from Gandrea" was her reply with a roar at the end of it. I was worried she was lying to me, I had never heard of the place. My father never spoke of it from his adventures he talked about the 4 continents on the planet and all of its countries this was a new one. "What continent is that country on?" I said looking at the broken calendar then back at her. She had a confused look and her eye twitched. "That is a continent "she replied. "Your lying there are only 4 continents on the planet." She sighed "do you have a map" she looked back at the boy. I ran to my room and opened my nightstand a map was sitting there folded up I turned back towards the door and the girl appears. Behind me I jumped out of fear. I opened the map on my bed and the girl laughed at me. "What?" I asked "where's the rest of it?" she said looking at me. "That's it isn't it? ". I questioned. She looked at the night stand and pulled open the drawer. "Neat drawer" she uttered. As she ripped the drawer out a bunch of junk flew with the drawer she got down on all 4s and looked into the bottom of the desktop. A rope was dangling done from the spot the drawer had been guarding. She gave it a tub and a role of paper fell from a compartment. She handed it to me and chuckled. The map had the continents I knew of but it was bigger than my map. It had more continents a total of 8. "What's that line there "I asked. She gave her confused look at me again. "Have you not been alive long?" "I'm 22..." I replied. "You have heard of the southern hemisphere haven't you?" "The what?" I asked "Yea the bottom half of the world, the place where we came from, that line blocks your part of the world from mine." "Then how did you get here? How long did it take you to travel to get here?" I stammered. "Well when you was standing around in the water doing who knows what we were running for our lives." I was speechless. She turned her head and looked at the boy rubbing his eyes from a short nap. "Running from what?" I asked still on the matter of their presence. "You can't be that ignorant" she proclaimed. I was taken back. "Of what? "Do you know about the legend?" I stood there thinking back to what my father had told me about his travels and the memory of a legend never came back to me. I sighed "No." "Sit down this may take a while." She said
