Prophecy (On Hold)

~14~A Whole New World~

Yes, I know...

'wow, author. An Aladdin refference?'

Yes, it is. It wasn't on purpose though.

Anyways...

"Welcome to the realm of death" I say as everyone looks at the new scenery.

As the portal closes I take in the nostalgia that came along with seeing this place again.

The realm is one of floating islands. Only one of the islands float higher than the others, and that's the one with the castle.
The islands are connected by fire beams, and bridges.

"Just before we move on, I just want to warn you. Whatever you do, do NOT fall off the islands."
I take a glance at the endless void below us. "Down there is where all the souls of the dead go. If you get too close, they will-"

I was cut of by a light crow I saw zooming downwards past us. Everyone's eyes followed the bird. A flock of light crows were hovering down there. The one that flew past us didn't realise that he flew too far down.

I saw a white ghostly hand reach up and grab it's talon. The crow struggled as more white hands emerged from the depths of the void. The crow screeched trying to get the flock to help him but it was no use for they, in fright, flew away.

By now all you could see of the crow was part of its beak. It was then completely out of sight, hidden by the hands.

We heard the crow's last cry before silence consumed our hearing, and the white hands disappeared back into the void.

"Uh... you get the idea," I continued.

"Anyways let's get to an inn and we'll go from there," Hunter said, I walked beside him leading the others to our destination.

We were walking for a few minutes before we reached a wooden looking building. You're probably thinking, doesn't wood catch on fire?

Well yes.

Yes it does.

And before you think anything else. It's not actually wood. The material that it's made of, is actually something we call Samlia. Samlia has the texture and appearance of wood but has properties of steel. It is magic infused so it doesn't melt.

"Ok before we go in, we have to sort out who is with who. There will be a mixture of both boys and girls, but I expect no funny business. There will be 6 people in each. The rooms have 6 single beds so one per person. I expect nothing less of perfect when it come to your behaviour during our stay here."

~~~~~~

"Hey, roomy!" I said elbowing Hunter.

Everyone went to group up with there respected roommates.

"Great, I'm stuck with you," Hunter teased, playfully rolling his eyes.

"I see how it is," I turn my back and started to walk away.

I turned back around to come face to face with Hunter.

We stood there for 2 seconds before he pulled the silliest face he could muster up.

We both ended up laughing our hearts out.

"Come on lovebirds," Lillian teased.

Hunter shook his head, while my face started to heat up. I kept it cool before he saw me though.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Hunter asked grabbing a hold of my hand and leading me inside.

After receiving our room keys. We went our separate ways.
