~This book is getting some major changes!~
There are many things your parents can teach you and things they need to teach you. So many things that you should know about.
But even my mother couldn't have prepared me for this.
There are gates on Earth- gates that lead to another world full of magic and wonder. But with that comes monsters and war.
But like all doorways, they work both ways.
And those monsters are coming through.
