The Dimensional Defenders : The Birth Of A Hero

Chapter 12

That night, 2.30 a.m.

Placing all of her pillows and organizing them, she placed a blanket on top of it and got down from her bed. Grabbing her bowstaff which was originally taken from one of the dumpster behind the school, she packed all of her things and was ready to go. She went out of her bedroom and peered into her mother's bedroom through the slit of her mother's bedroom door. The need to take one last look at her mother was overwhelming but she has to do it. "I'll see you soon, mom. I love you." She whispered to herself. Hoping she would hear but not wake up.

She then went to her brother's bedroom but her brother wasn't there. He's probably working the night shift again. I'll just leave this here. She placed a letter on his brother's desk. "I'll see you soon, Adrian." She said and went back to her room. Her foot was on hold of the rim of her bedroom window. She glanced one last look at her bedroom. The pictures of her favourite heroes as well as the picture of her family at the very centre. She has to leave with a heavy heart but she just can't wait any longer. She needs answers.

With one last look, she jumped from the window and started walking. But not without one last look at the house. "I'll come back...I have to come back...my family still needs me." She told herself, determined that once she knows all of this to be true, she will come back. She started heading towards the park. The moon was blocked a bit by the clouds so it is not as clear as day but clear enough for her to see what's in front of her. As she reached the end of the park, a deep forest with trees the size of a giant and a void of nothingness within the depths of it.

Gulp! She got a hold of herself and starts walking into the forest. The crunching of the leaves as she walked further and further in was the only thing that accompanied her through that madness of darkness. As the moon begins to shine brighter, its rays are piercing through the leaves of the trees. Sarah looked up and saw it all. "This has got to be the place. Where else would I find a place 'with withering starlights' around here?" That pattern of speech was exactly the same as Hiccup's and with that, revealed a huge glow of light.

The size of the glowing light in front of her was almost the same as her, maybe a bit bigger. She took one deep breath. "This is it. The moment of truth." She said to herself and started walking into the white glowing light. Getting to the other side wasn't as hard or as long as she thought. Instead, just as she set foot into that glowing light, she was already on the other side. Other side of where? Why am I doing this?

Hesitation and doubts swarmed her like locuses in the mating season. But she kept going because the real question is not whether or not what she's doing is good or bad. It's to prove that all the things that she imagined before were real and not just a part of her imagination. She wants to see whether if that world that she created in her head all this time was actually real or not and that if any of her admired characters ever knew her existence as well as if everything that happened was a real thing. As she set both feet onto the anonymous yet familiar piece of solid ground, she knew her questions were answered.

"Everyone, this is Sarah. My great granddaughter." That phrase somehow surprised her a bit. But that voice was familiar... she thought to herself. She looked at the old woman with astonishment. "Grandma?" She asked. "Yes, my chubby cheeks." She replied with a naughty smile. The other characters responded in disgust. "Grandma, not in front of the guys, seriously. I don't want to make a bad impression." She whispered and stand close to her left side.Having been disgusted out, they got a hold of themselves and Hiccup was the first to ask,"So, you're Sarah? The one who admire us the most?"

Sarah, keeping her breathing steady responded, "Yeah...". Sheila hit her shoulder. "Ah! What was that for?" Sarah said with a high voice. "Go on. Tell them what you know about them." Ali upon hearing that yelled,"yeah! Tell us." Looking at them, she thought for a second. This is almost exactly how I would imagine myself meeting 'them'. Although, this is for real this time. "Okay." She took a deep breath and told them everything she knew about them. Without even realizing, the portal behind her closes and her real adventure begins.
