Mythsteries

Chapter One: The Change

My name is Zoey, Zoey Norton. I didn't have a bad life, or parents. In fact I had a pretty good life. I've just always been drawn to the unknown. Which leads me to where i'm at now. Standing at the edge of my backyard. And beginning of the forest. I feel like it is calling to me. I just have this urge to start running and never stop. I hear this sudden barking from the woods. Though it didn't sound like normal barking. I look back to my backyard where I see my husky, Nova staring at me, waiting for me to return. When I look back at her, she gives me a little wag of her tail. Then I hear the ghostly barking again. I walk a little further into the woods. About to turn the corner... when... BAM! Someone ran straight into my face

"Woah there!" someone basically cheered at me. I could already tell this guy had a "outgoing" personality. Given the fact he was grinning happily and had a goofy smirk on his face. He was wearing a slightly torn up gray shirt that almost looked medieval and very muddy jeans. I looked down at my own clothing, I wore a white cloth shirt with light red stripes and your average jeans.

"The names Wolf, what about you?" he chirped

"Ummm..."

"Well hello ummm, nice to meet ya!" He said while grabbing my hand and shaking it

 The barking started again. He saw my confused glace

"Ohhhh, you hear the spirit bark, don't you?" 

"How did you know, do you hear it to?" 

Oh no, but I did, a looong time ago, actually, what year is it" 

"2015?" I respond he just hummed as a response. Then all of a sudden, this weird jerboa/fox creature appeared over his shoulder. I looked at the weird creature with a shocked look.

"Wiz, what are you doing" He said as he playfully ruffled the creature's fur

"What is that?!" 

 Now don't get wrong, I love animals, but I have never seen anything like this before. And now that I mention it, he had a folded pair of cloth steampunk wings, where does he get these things?! Is he some weird cosplay?!

"That" he pointed at the creature

"Is my companion and best friend, his name is Wiz" I got him with one of my three wishes

"Three wishes?"

"Yup, genies are reeaal" 

"But they're soo mean! They are always trying to cheat your wishes! Their rude and obnoxious! Oh, and they try to kill you." He complained

"What else is real then" I asked

"Ohhhhh many many things" 

"Cyclops, Pegasus, manticores, dragons, unicorns, nasty creatures those unicorns, griffins, witches, wizards, harpies, mermaids, minotaurs, phoenix, and many many more"

"So everything mythological" I questioned

"Mythological and more" 

"Though I usually only stay in the mythological world"

"There's different worlds?!"

"Bunches and bunches of them" he seemed amused at my confusion

"I can show you them if you want" 

"Really?! You would take me with you?!"

"I don't see why not" he shrugged

"I have always wanted something more than an ordinary life" I cheered

"Yes it is then?"

"Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes"

"Woah, Zoey, calm down"
