Hey! Over 673 reads! This is actually one of my most proudest achievements. I've been struggling with stress, but these comments always cheer me up. The memories of this story. Even though it hasn't been around long, it makes me happy and means soooo much every time I see that someone likes something that I made. I just want to say...thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.

To The Ancient Lands

*Nilesy's POV*

"So what're you doin' around 'ere?" I would have offered her my coat to keep herself warm from the water, but I don't have one.

"Oh, I was attempting to...startapoolbusiness." My heart stopped again! She even loves pools! I must of been staring for awhile because she went red and stuttered. "I know it's weird, but it's something I've always wanted to do."

I gave her a hug, "it's not weird at all! I'm only a part-time bagpiper and I actually have a pool shack and business." Oh my gosh, she is perfect in every way; from looks to personality. She smiled at me and I swore her eyes sparkled as we gazed at each other. "Hey, want to come with me and my friends?" I ask as Honeydew finally caught up and tripped into the clearing. "Oh, there you are slowpoke."

"Oi! I'm only a dwarf! My legs weren't built for running!" He yelled at me.

"Well that's obvious." I replied with a giggle. His face went bright red and he turned around to leave.

"Ya, well have fun with your wet friend! Hope you catch a cold! I'm gonna look for lewis." He mumbled and stomped off.

"Come on Alphina! I want you to meet them!" I grasped her by the hand and we ran into the woods together laughing.

*Martyn's POV*

"What!" Did she just call me a Twilightborn? I felt different. I looked at my burning arms and saw that something glowing a dark green pulsed through my veins. My eyes started to glow as well. My body levitated off the ground and a portal sprouted out of the pool of water; I was sucked in.

*Lewis' POV*

I stood shocked as she called me a space man. How did she know! I've never told anyone before, not even Honeydew! "What!" I looked over at Martyn. Wait...what's a Twilightborn? After seeing what just happened, I looked at Rythian. "What the bloody hell just happened!"

"I don't know! I've never heard of Twilightborns, but the land of the Twilight is deadly. Everything tries to kill." He walked over to the portal and stared into the swirling purple of the water. "Well, only one thing to do." With that said, he jumped in.

"Oh bloody-ahhhh!" I screamed as I was pushed from behind. Before I fell, I saw Ridge with a wicked grin and someone else in a dark green coat with a frown. Falling through felt bizarre; like jumping through a hole, but landing on your back. I passed through like falling in water. All it took was a split second until I was in this ancient land. It looked as if nobody had been there for centuries.
