So I haven't been on in like over a week, and I'm sorry about that. I went to the Wilds Christian camp (which, by the way, was AMAZING) and also right now I'm in Maryland. So. You may have noticed that I changed the title of my blog. I thought that the other one was a little cheesy. Ehehe
Um, also, I'm having technical difficulties (we didn't bring OUR computer to Maryland so I'm trying to get the right dox on my mom's computer). I can't really find the current version of my book, so this may or may not be exactly what I have at home. I will correct anything that's wrong when I am able.
Okay, peeps, read on!

CHAPTER 6
Grace walked into the master bedroom of the suite. It was not very large, but decent
enough. She was puzzled. How could they get to Fantasia through a
bedroom?
Rob, who was in front of her, walked over to the bed and sat on it. “Okay, so traveling to Fantasia is very
strange.” he said. “Come look at
this.” He pointed to the post of the
bed, near the right edge.
Grace came over and looked where Rob pointed. A swirly eye adorned the bed post, around
the size of a human eye. “That,” Rob said,
“is how you get to Fantasia.” He looked
at Grace. She still was confused, and
her face must have shown it, because Rob explained further.
“No one knows how, but you just put your eye to that one, and, poof,
there you are! Somehow you
just...are in Fantasia. All of a
sudden.” Grace knew her face was blank. She was having a hard time
believing this new information. “All
right. I see you don’t believe me. So, unless you object, I’m going to send
Russell with you to Fantasia.” Rob said.
“Do I.....need anything?” Grace asked.
“Nah, whatever you need Russell will buy you.” said Rob.
“There’s money there?”
“Yep, and shops, businesses, restaurants, and houses. Pretty much anything on Earth, there’s a
reproduction in Fantasia. Somewhat.”
“Okay. I’m ready to go.” said
Grace. She was not really ready, but she
couldn’t wait to see if everything was really true.
“Let me go get Russell.” said Rob, and he walked out of the room. He returned a short time later with Russell.
“Ready to go?” he asked.
“More than I’ll ever be,” she said.
“Okay, so since this is your first time going, I’ll tell you what to
expect.” Russell said. “Traveling by
portal is really weird. It sort of
tickles, and sort of hurts, but it’s over soon and you’re there. We will end up in a meadow not far from the
capitol city of Fantasia, Noinim. There
might be some monsters arriving not far from us, so try not to freak out. There can be some scary things popping up
where you don’t expect them.
“Are you ready?” he said.
“Yep. Let’s go.” said Grace.
And so Russell placed his eye on the bedpost and disappeared.
Grace gasped. Seeing someone
disappear was very disturbing. “It’s
okay, he’s fine,” Rob said. “Now you
have to do the same. Better do it now,
before you start to freak out. You just
put your eye on the eye, and boom.
Hurry!”
Grace took a deep breath, held it, and placed her eye on the carving.
The first thing she thought was that her eyelids had changed colors.
She realized they were closed.
When she opened them, she gasped.
A rainbow of swirling lights whirled around her, tugging at her
clothes. She felt a whoosh of air, and
then—
She tumbled out of the portal into a grass-filled meadow bordered with
trees. Russell stood a few feet in front
of her, investigating a neon pink butterfly as large as her hand. He turned around.
“Oh, hello,” he said. “How was
your first journey through the portal?”
“Amazing,” Grace said. “It was just
wonderful.”
“Great! So, are you ready to
explore?”
“You bet I am!” Grace said. She
was surprised and happy that all Rob had told her was true.
“Okay, so I thought we could go to the library first so you could learn
more about werewolves and Fantasia.
Sound good to you?”
“Sure! So.....which way is the
city?”
“It is...” Russell pointed forward.
“that way.”
A loud poof sounded behind
them and they both turned. Grace
squealed. A strange creature had flown
from the portal. It was small, the size
of the large butterfly Grace had seen earlier.
It had wings which resembled that of the butterfly in shape, but the
creature’s were transparent and blue.
The wings were attached to the back of a small body which looked human. A strange glow surrounded the whole
creature. Grace knew enough about
mythology to realize that this creature was a fairy. She hoped that she didn't look strange.
“Hi Aunna!” said Russell. “What
are you up to?”
“Oh, nothing,” the fairy answered in a slightly tinkly voice. “Who’s your friend?”
“This is Grace,” said Russell.
“Grace, this is Aunna. I think
you’ve probably already figured out that she’s a fairy.”
“Hello Grace! How are you?” said
Aunna.
“Fine, thank you,” replied Grace.
She figured Fantasia would never stop surprising her.
“Excuse me for asking, but what type of creature are you?” said Aunna.
“I’m a werewolf,” said Grace awkwardly.
“This is my first time in Fantasia.”
“Cool! This must be so exiting
for you!” said Aunna.
“It really is,” said Grace, and she meant it.
“Well, we’d better be going,” said Russell. “I’ve got a lot to show Grace today. Wait....oh, today’s a double moon day. That means it’ll be a little longer than
normal.” he explained.
“Oh yippee!” Aunna exclaimed. “I
love double moon days. I think they are
lucky days for everyone. Anyway, I’ll go
so you can show Grace around. Maybe you
can stay at the Flabby Frog. Oh, Grace,
that’s my mom’s inn. And I am going to
go before I bore you guys to death with my talking. So, good bye!” She fluttered above their heads and toward
the city.
Grace looked at Russell and raised an eyebrow. “Is she always like that?“
“Mostly,” said Russell. “Almost
all fairies are talkative and very upbeat.”
“Well,” said Grace. “I’m ready to
go explore.”
“Cool. Then let’s go,” said
Russell. They walked toward the capital. Grace’s insides were fluttering. She was ready for the adventure of her life,
and it was beginning.
