Kidnapped Kingdom

Sereese Aistar 2

I walk through the now bustling market place in the middle of town. I find it kind of fascinating, all the people coming from the four directions, with all the colour. I walked over to one of the booths that was run by a small Chinese woman. I looked up at the banner being shielded by an invisible force, it read 背包. I waved at the woman behind the counter. I had never seen this stal before in the marketplace. But then again, the shops here were always changing. "Hello."

"Hello." she said with a heavy Chinese accent

"Do you have bottomless bags here?"

"Yes. I do. You are the first to ask about these. Just a second please."

She seemed to disappear behind the counter. I started to lean over to see where she went but she popped back up before i could investigate her hiding place any further. She handed me floral backpack purse. "Here you go."

"Sooo.... How much is it?" I asked, pulling out the envelope from by jacket pocket.
I grabbed two twenties and tried to hand it to the woman behind the counter. She stopped my hand when i tried to give it to her.

"You are turning 16. Today is a very important day in your journey. Please. Take it for free." she nodded as I put the money back. I smiled real big and thanked her. I turned away and looked for a place to put my suitcase in my new present. I stopped for a second and felt around in the bag to see how deep it was, when i felt something touch my finger. "What the..." i pushed my arm deeper into the bag and felt around again. My shoulder was now in the bag looking desperately for the thing possibly non existent item in my bag. "AH!" i said as i grasped the object. I pulled it out and turned around to return it to the bag shop, but when I did, it was gone. I shrugged and threw the back pack on one shoulder and read the paper as I walked.

Help Wanted
Looking for young apprentices in Central, Ağac district

What kind of apprentice? A baker's apprentice? A wood worker's apprentice? There are a lot of apprentice jobs. I mean it can't possibly be a wizards apprentice, can it? I rushed over to an awning next to a donut shop and stood there shoving my suitcase into my bag. I walked towards the middle of the shopping district to get down the the trains. There were more people crowded around the train teleporter than usual. I pushed my way to the front of the crowd so I could get to the Tree district as soon as I could. But to my disay, another fake wizard was trying to show off by stopping all the commuters. "And now, I will pick a person from the audience for my next trick!" I could hear a chorus of 'Pick me!'s and "Oo Oo Oo! Me me me's as well. I shook my head and walked over to the teleportation pad. Right before i was about to leave I felt myself being puled by what i assumed was magic.

"I don't have time for this right now. I have some where to be." I said to the fake Wizard standing in front of the crowd.

"Oh c'mon. It will be quick. Its just a simple levitation spell." I stopped him from pulling me any closer because his magic was so weak i was abe to cut off its flow to me easily. I pointed at him,

"How long have you been doing magic?"

"Why 13 years! Any avid fan such as yourself should know that!"

"If you truly have been doing magic for 13 years, then why am i stronger than you?" i asked as a challenge. He looked very taken aback by my insult.

"Was this a challenge, little girl?" he sneered

"So what if it was? It's not like you're going to accept."

"Well..." he looked like he broke int a cold sweat "I accept." I smirked and Easily picked him up "What the?" he yelled. I threw him about halfway to the west arch. I walked over to the teleporting pad and disappeared out of the shocked crowd. The train station differed from place to place, the central one was covered in graffiti that moved and vanished when officers showed up. It changed a lot, but it was really beautiful and detailed. I waited near a small group of people eagerly awaiting the next train. When it finally arrived a larger group had formed around where the train would open. It's old metal doors creaked open and the people piled on. I searched for a seat that probably wouldnt be there, for there were way too many people on that train.

I ended up leaning on one of the walls of the train. The trip was pretty short, about 13 minutes to the outside of the north wall. The train didn't take us further than the walls of the four direction. I could have to find my way to the tree district myself. I stepped off the train out onto the sidewalk. I saw a twenty something year old guy standing next to girl with medium length wavy brown hair. She was wearing a green shirt and black shorts. The guy jogged over to me "Hey! Are you on of the peeps who got the apprentice letter?" I nodded and he motioned for me to follow, and I did. I waved at the girl next to him and she gave me a wave back.
