I'm Kyie and I live in Elseland, you know, the place all the magic went after the Sundering. Now that I think of it, you probably don't know about Elseland because I didn't know about the Ordinary except that anything from there, from your world, is strictly banned. Not that I ever found anything Ordinary ever. Honestly, I didn't even believe in it.
That all changed when I found a book full of spells... er... recipes for something called cupcakes. The pictures looked so amazing that I had to try one! Of course, there was no way I was going to find all of those Ordinary ingredients without help from my friends. So we started a club - a secret club - to make Perfectly Ordinary cupcakes.
Everything was fine until we couldn't find chocolate. But we knew where to get some. That meant going to the Ordinary ourselves, but it turns out there was a good reason Elseland and the Ordinary were sundered and that a Perfectly Ordinary chocolate cupcake might mean the end of both our worlds.
