Journey to...Xadia?

My name is Alex and there's one thing you need to know about me: I'm a big fantasy nerd. One day, my brother and I decided to play hide and seek and I made the dumb decision to hide in a chest in my houses' attic: a chest I'd never seen before because I've never really been in the attic and looked around. After what feels like me hiding forever, I decide to get out. But, something feels different, something I can't explain.. the attic looks dusty, like no one had been up there in years, but thats.. that's impossible! My parents make sure to clean it every couple of months, so whats happened? Just then, I hear the steps to the attic creak and then a low growl....
"I shouldn't have hid in that chest-"
