He is holding his hands tight in fists. He is in a really tight stance. He is frustrated.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" Lucas says in a way that really scares me.
I am too scared to answer.
"How did you get here?" Lucas says again in a much harsher tone and practically yelling.
"I-I don't know." I say quietly.
"How can you not know?" Lucas says yelling at me.
"Y-your scaring me." I say.
Lucas relaxes his hands and he is no longer tight. But one of his hands is still in a fist.
"Sorry." He says. It is still harsh but at least he apologized.
There is a long pause.
"I found the opening in the wall." I say.
Lucas looks surprised.
"How?"
"I found the right brick to push. And I was curious." I say. I force a smile on my face to try to lighten the mood.
"How did you open the portal?"
"I don't know. My flashlight's light just seemed to leave and make a circle with a spiral in it. I just walked through it and I'm here." I say.
"Let me see it." Lucas says.
I hand him the flashlight.
He looks over it very carefully.
"Where did you get this?" Lucas says.
"I don't know. One of my relatives gave it to me when I was very young." I say.
He hands me back the flashlight. I hook the chain back onto my pants.
"What is this flame?" I say looking at my burnt hand.
"Did you get burned?" Lucas says.
"I guess. I didn't feel anything but my hand looks burned." I say.
Lucas grabs my hand.
I get startled at this. He is looking over it studying the burns.
He lets go.
"I need to work on my flame." Lucas says to himself. I manage to hear it.
"You made this?" I say.
Lucas looks down again.
"Yes." Lucas says.
"Sit down. I'm going to take the wall down." He says.
I sit down. Lucas holds up his fist and he opens up his hand. The flame disappears into it. The wind blows on me again. I get pushed a little but Lucas isn't affected at all.
Lucas holds up both hands and I see another blue flame come out of his hands.
The flame surrounds me and it becomes clear. I can't feel the wind anymore.
I look around. I still see a small breeze in the field but the wind isn't so bad anymore.
I stand up.
"That was amazing. Now where is here?" I say.
"It is hard to explain." Lucas says.
"Well then what is the name of this place?" I say.
