The Godly Gifts

Caleb gasped raggedly, slowly pushing himself to a sitting position. Smoke poured from the turrets of the once proud building. The smell of ash and blood filled the air. The smell of death he never should have known. They were doing it. They were doing it again.

He reached up, slowly gripping the medallion hanging at his neck. It was because of this. All of this was because of those stupid jewels he'd never meant to find.

////// When Caleb and Sonia, a couple teens from Earth, accidentally find two jewels buried in the forest of their home, they're transported to a strange world. Taking refuge in an old sanctuary, they quickly find out the true significance of the jewels. Old and powerful weapons, they were once owned by the protectors of this realm. The people are thrilled, thinking that these two strangers must have come to free their home from the powerful tyrant and oppressive regime. Only, Caleb and Sonia have no interest in playing hero.

That's when the sanctuary is attacked. Forced to flee for their lives, the two join with another teen who's determined to protect them, and the jewels, at all cost. Hunted on all sides, they must stay together, and stay sharp in order to stay alive in this new world. They must keep the weapons out of evil's hands and... maybe the best way to do that is finding a way to take the jewels with them back to earth.

But the dictator of this world will never stop until he possesses them. And the desperate people of this world won't let such powerful weapons just disappear.

How can this world be protected by couple of kids who just want to go home?
