Aelesia Stories

Adrien's never felt a sense of belonging. He can't explain why the strange stuff happens around him. Why things seem to quite literally fall apart. It all changes the day he meets Sophie Foster, a strange girl with an even stranger ability: she appears to be able to read other people's minds. She soon admits that another world does in fact exist: Aelesia, a hidden realm that he somehow is a part of, having been born there but went missing four years later. Taking the opportunity, Adrien crosses into a world he never thought would be real. It's all a dream come true. Until the dream dies. Because rebels are crossing through the country, determined to take the power of ancient spirits. He has to enlist the help of two nobles, including Sophie, and a local fugitive to protect this world he's just returned to from its destruction. (kotlc/mlb crossover and fantasy au)

I'm busy rewriting "Beyond Another World" since the original plot wasn't working out for me, but I figured it would be fun to publish what the original first chapter was! There will be several differences between this and what the final version will be, but it might also help give you an idea of where the story will be going as I work out details.
