 Day had arrived, and a new portal had been created as well. When they woke up and saw it, they instantly knew what they had to do.

"This is the next step. Want me to guide you?" Eli asked.

"Oh, no I don't. I am guiding you!" Said Skye with a funny yet evil voice.

She pulled Eli's arm and they both rushed into the portal. Eli was scared, and everything Skye could do about it was laugh at his expression of fear. Before they even noticed, they had already entered the new world.

"What were you thinking!? You didn't even know if there was danger up ahead!"

"I told you I was going to get my revenge for what you did! And so I did as I said."

"Seems fair, but don't ever do that again!"

"Besides, why would there be danger in this place?"

"You don't know what you are sayi-"

When Eli turned around, he saw a giant and beautiful field. Everything about it seemed amazing, and it seemed that other people like them were there as well.

"I guess you are right, this place is gorgeous!"

They explored their surroundings and were astonished with every single thing they saw. And as they looked around, they bumped into another guy. He seemed to be different, since he didn't shine they way Skye and Eli did. However, Eli knew exactly what to do.

"I think I forgot to tell you about this."

"Tell me what? About other people being here?"

"Yeah, but there is more to that. A lot of chosen ones are called at the same time and normally sent to this island. The fact that you were sent to that other place is... interesting. Anyways, this means we can meet other people! We just have to lend them our light, and they will lend us theirs!"

"Sounds cool! Should we try it?"

"Oh, of course we should!"

Both Eli and Skye took their candles and approached them to the other guy. He took a candle like theirs and received their light. He slowly started to take color, making Skye happy and surprised.

"He- Hey there..." Said the guy. Eli immediately knew that this guy was really shy.

"Oh, try to relax a little! We're not your enemies, so feel free to be yourself!"

"Oh... Ok then."

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he did with a smile in his face.

"Sorry for that, I just have never seen anyone in all my time here, so it was a little shocking! Who are you guys?"

"I'm Eli, and this is my friend Skye!"

"Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one around here!"

They kept on talking for a really long time, and so they started meeting new people around the place. They were having a good time, but then Skye noticed something in the distance.

"Wait, what are those over there?"

"Oh, that? I know what they are, but we can check it out if you want to."

They took flight and got to the thing Skye saw in the distance. This thing was a tower with giant doors locking the way inside. She approached to the door and looked at it with determination. She felt like there was something inside calling for her, so she tried to find out what it was.

"Do you think I can open this?"

"Oh, what a big joke! No one has ever been able to-"

She placed her hand on one of the doors and they suddenly started shining. When she least expected it, the doors were slowly opening for her.
