the secret realm book 1

the beginning

I was walking home after school, my name is Oliver. I was quite close with my dad, but I never met my mother. My father never said what happened to her so I assumed that she is either dead or she left us. I'm not the most popular guy in School, I'm more of your average 16 year old quiet kid who the bullies have their eyes on. I have no friends I mostly just go to school,  class, get bullied at lunch, and then go to class once again, and finally go home eat dinner and sleep. On my way to school I walked by an old man who looked weird, he looked like those wizards you see in fantasy movies and books. I assumed he was a fan. I walked towards my house, got the key and unlocked the door. Suddenly a truck was thrown at my house, Luckily, I wasn't in the way so I wasn't hurt.  I saw a large monster that threw the truck a few other monsters right by him, the old man who was right in front of him monster spoke, “damn I missed”.The old guy looked at the monster and said, “what do you want, you demon”. The big monster smiled, “we were sent by our boss to kill you and the boy”. The old man tighten his grip on his staff, the monsters we're going to attack old man said some weird words and some bright lights appeared. The monsters were injured but they didn't give up. Even though they kept attacking and more bright lights appeared. holes in the ground appeared and more monsters came, eventually it was the old man fighting a hundred monsters. I was running in the woods, I tried to call my dad on my cell phone but he wasn't answering.I tried texting him but he wasn't answering. The monsters started to come after me, but I just kept running and running in the woods, not looking behind me. But eventually I was cornered and surrounded by hundreds of monsters. I was prepared to die but a very large bright light came and I saw the wizard like old man. He seemed to be injured. the rest of the monsters came and surrounded us but this time there were thousands and thousands of monsters more than the few hundreds that surrounded me before. The old man muttered something and hit me with his staff in the stomach, I close my eyes for a seconds after the hit and open them back up.I was in a town surrounded by people, a woman near me asked if I was alright. I got up. “Yeah, but where am?” I the woman looked at me, “you're in the northern kingdom of ochotia.” I looked at her strange, “huh?”  I walked through the crowd, seeing half human, half animals, knights, and even elves. I couldn't believe what I saw, all I could think is WHERE THE HELL AM I.
