The New World

Chapter 5

      I stand up and whip my head around, giving myself a good view of the place I have come to.
I walk over to a log crossing a stream, which swerves through the forest.

It bends over the horizon, and I see something. A very large tree. A Humongous tree. In fact, it would be impossible not to see anywhere!
It's larger than anything, even Mt. Everest!
Maybe even doubled the size!

The branches spiral, and lights are by it.
Is that a city? I wonder.
I look down and realize that I'm not wearing the same clothes that I had on in the cave.
In Fact... It doesn't look like clothes anyone would wear.
Where the crap am I?
I wonder. It's like a fantasy world!
Wait a minute... Is it?

I shake the thought away. Wherever the others are, they all probably saw the tree and the city. And maybe even aiming for it!

So I guess that's where I'm going. The the city.
Before I go, I decide to make sure that nothing else is different. I look at myself and see that I also have a sword.
Why do I need a sword? I wonder. Is it that dangerous here?

A wave my hands out, making sure nothing magical happens.
I hold out two fingers and swipe them down.
Sparkles group together, showing a map.
"Oh my god." I whisper. "This world really is magic. I am magic."

I swipe my two fingers down again and the map disappears. I swipe them sideways, and it sparkles form a square. Words form, and it ends up saying 'Inventory.'

"Inventory?" I wonder out loud. "Like... Storing stuff? How does that work?"
I see the word 'Sword' in the list. Next to it is a circle. I touch the circle, and my sword fades from the holster at my waist.
"WHAT." I exclaim. "This has to be a dream. I'm just going to wake up, and see that it was all a dream."

But when I look at the world around me, I know for a fact that it's all real.
