A universe of dimensions, a cycle of exchange and a princess caught up in this cycle. On Avyanna's 18 birthday she knows her life's going to change. In fact, it's what she has prepared for her whole life. And one jump from the portal is all it takes. She used to wish for this moment, she used to pray it would come sooner, but when the time's finally here, she isn't so sure anymore. Is she really ready to leave everything she ever knew and loved behind and be taken to a foreign dimension. To be honest, she really doesn't know the answer to that and besides it's not like she has any say in any of this. But Avyanna does know one thing for sure. She's resilient and she will always stay that way. An entry to the 'stairway to another world' fictional writing competition. Enjoy.

When trust is broken it's often hard to gain back. When an rumor is made, it's hard to stop. When a love blossoms, it's not easy to be logical. And when heartbreak occurs, it's not easy to cope. One rumor is all it takes to make a whole kingdom hate you. One strange boy is all it takes to open up again and one heartbeat is all it takes to fall stupidly in love. But in the end, one person is all it takes to cause excruciating pain and sorrow. Some things might seem easy to assume, some things are easy to conclude and some theories just seem more likely. But do not fall so easily for things. Sometimes, the surface is not the core and a person is not what they seem to be. Sometimes a situation may seem simple enough to comprehend but remember that behind every step, every action there is a story, a reason, a cause. Secrets exist to protect people from the truth, but sometimes the truth is needed to see the light. Adventure, love, mystery and many more, all complicate things so much more than they could be. But isn't it fun to unravel the reasons and see what you can find in the mess? The possibilities are endless after all...
