Welcome to Foreverland

A few days later,
Our class was going on a field trip to a old castle in London for a school project. I sat on the bus looking straight out the window as it crossed over the bridge. Other classmates were taking selfies and taking in the sites. Gloria a girl with long blonde hair stood up in her seat and pointed. "Hey guys look it's the castle of Bathalmeul!" Kids turned and looked out the window. I turned and my breath left me, it was like the castle in my brother's stories. It was massive with large gates guarding it. We got off the bus and I walked to the front and pushed the gates open.

"Stay with the class Sam". Mrs. Regina said and gave me a stern look.

The other kids stared and laughed. I gave them a glare as I walked back to the group. "You will walk in groups of three, make sure you stay together you can get lost." Mrs. Regina instructed.

We were paired in our groups I was paired off with Gloria and Christopher a scholar on old century castles. I lead the way as if I had been assigned before. "Where are we going?" Gloria asked annoyed and pushed cobwebs away.
"What's the matter no mirrors to adore yourself?" I replied.

Regina huffed and started walk off ahead of herself. Christopher looked at me "You told her."

We passed massive statues and paintings. I stopped in front of one that caught my eye. Two men were fighting with big swords. One of them had on a long black hooded cloak with beautiful blonde hair. Just like the wizard in Logan's story. Christopher came next to me and looked at the painting. "Surreal huh, it almost looks like their coming to life."

We began to walk off and I caught at the side of my eye a glowing light and in the same instance it vanished. "Strange..." I whispered then ran to catch up with Christopher and Gloria.
Gloria was already in a chamber sitting on a old bench rubbing her feet. Christopher
stood next to her checking the map of the castle on his handheld tablet. "There is a mess hall right ahead, that's where the other's will be meeting us."

I looked around and saw there were various doors leading out of the chamber. I looked at my handheld tablet and one entry stood out more than the others. It had two stone angels holding swords as if they were guarding it.
"Are you coming Sam?" Christopher looked back at me.
"Yeah I'm just taking a breather I'll be right behind you guys." I assured.

Christopher gave a look judging against it then helped Gloria up and they started walking. I walked towards the door with the statues and looked at the carvings. It had a picture of a wizard and what looked like a pathway. "Interesting." I put on the flashlight from my phone and traced a hand on it. Nothing happened at first but then a lock broke and the door started to creek open. "Oh man this is not good." I tried to pull the door close but then a strange pathway appeared. I looked back to see if anyone else was around. "No way." My eyes lit up as a magical garden appeared on the other side.

I opened the door wider and slowly started walking inside. Flowers sprouted from the ground and leaves started to intertwine around the end of the pathway. I was nervous and scared but my feet keep urging me to go. I continued walking until I reached the end I stepped through the opening. The view was captivating there was lush green meadows and what looked like fairy dust was floating around the plants. Far ahead was a river where birds flew around in a uniforms circle. I looked back at the entry where I came from and it was covered in leaves. It's just like in Logan's story.
