Chapter I What in the Hell Is This?

“Judas Priest, Jordon. I told you, I’m just not ready for a relationship just yet. I haven’t found the right women just yet.”

“You see bro that’s precisely the reason why you can’t get yourself a girl. You keep visioning yourself surrounded by many women and being in bed with them like some type of harem.”

“And I told you that I just like women to begin with ok?”

“I know you love women Marshall, I do too. Really; I do!”

“Is that what you thought of when you proposed to Ali? You do realize that you’re now stuck with her right?”

“Are you saying that Ali is either; not good enough or just not enough for me?”

“I never said that. I mean, you’ve been in bed with more women then my sister has been with men. Don’t give me that look. Ok, maybe she’s been in bed with more men then you have with women. I’m not saying that I don’t like Ali because I do. She’s fun, outgoing, smart, clever, she has a beautiful smile and overall a beautiful girl. I’m just saying that I would like to be surrounded by beautiful ladies whom all wouldn’t mind sharing me but would also accept me for who I am. I mean, let’s be honest here bro and talk seriously here shall we as mono y mono or man to man ok? How many women that I have actually known whom if were still single and lived around here would actually go out with me?”

“That’s quite the question but you could always ask Carrie out. You did find her quite attractive back in high school.”

“News Flash, Jordon! I said women who still lived around here and were single and Carrie is with someone.”

“My bad bro! I suppose that takes that other girl out of the equation as well. What was her name?”

“Brittany, the one that got away.”

“Hah! I knew it, you did have a crush on her didn’t you? Why didn’t you ever pack-up the balls and ask her out?”

“Yes, alright! I admit it, I had a crush on her in high school that’s why I asked her to the prom that year and if she wasn’t dating Jake at the time I would have asked her out. Hell, after their breakup and if she hadn’t moved to the freaking western coast I would have asked her out then. I guess it is true what they say, “fate can be such a fickle thing can it?” However; things change bro, and so do people. I’ve changed! You’ve changed! Everybody changes and I’ve realized that one woman is not enough for me but be honest. Am I ever going to find more than one woman in this world who would be more than willing to not only share me but accept that aspect about me? Probably not, the chances of that happening in this world are slim to none bro. It just ain’t gonna happen. I’d have a better shot at that happening in a fantasy world or something.”

“I understand bro, but don’t trap yourself in a fantasy that you can’t crawl out of. Remember, you’re a warrior first then a lover.”

“How can I forget? It’s the path that I chose after all.”

“Hey, at least you showed that you had what it takes to become a warrior better then I or any of our other boys have, lol.”

“Ha, indeed! So true! Lol!”

“Lol! Well, I should probably be getting home man. I’ll catch you around ok?”

“No problem, bro and thanks for stopping by.”

“My pleasure! If you ever need anything you know where to reach me. Later bro!”

“Later!”

Jordon then closed the outside door and left. I sat there on my couch for a little bit flipping through the channels just to see if anything worth watching was on. Much to my dismay there was nothing worth watching. I turned the tv off and flipped open my laptop on my computer. It said 2:00 P.M., Thursday. My week was going by way too fast and the 4th of July was almost here. Furthermore; it was my vacation from work and I almost didn’t want to see it end so soon. I wanted some more excitement in life but knew that I would never get to apprehend it because of the life I chose. I was a warrior as Jordon put it so loosely despite me loving to fight though only when it was in tournaments and events like that.

Anyway; I went to Google and just decided for the hell of it to browse some hot pictures of beautifully drawn monster girls. I was a sucker for art, especially; Japanese art and monster girls were the epitome of my love for it. I always thought to myself, “would it be epic if such a world existed where these creatures existed and would I be accepted for who and what I was?” However; I always knew better than that. I could only dream of such things. I would often dream of being surrounded by many of their species and they were all clinging to me like I was their lord and almost like they worshipped me for pleasure.

I would see myself surrounded by creatures of the Succubi clan, beast tribe, humanoid, and pretty much anything that wanted to be around me. However; here lately I’d been dreaming of this one magnificent and beautiful creature that seems to be the center of my harem. Everything about her was just perfect. She had a magnificent body; slim, with ample breasts, and her eyes were just perfect. Every time I looked into them I would lose myself in them. It was as if I was being hypnotized and welcomed it. I had also been having a lot of lucid dreams here lately with her. So much so to the point that whenever I had a lucid dream with her. It felt so real as if I was actually there. Who knows, maybe I was but who was I to kid?

After browsing for a little bit I checked my Facebook and a few other sites just to check up on my accounts to make sure everything was in order. After that it was around time for me to do my workout. While most of my friends were more into cardio and running marathons. I was more into weight training. I loved cardio as well but never really saw the results that I wanted. So, I turned to dynamic weight training and sure enough was seeing better results than I ever had before. My body was getting toned faster and I was looking better than I ever had been. After taking my supplements and waiting for about 30 minutes to give them time to prepare my body I went and did my workout. Today, I was focusing on my back. I learned over the years and thanks to my health coach that it was always best to spend one day a week focusing on a specific group of the body. Today it was back and I went to work.

After an hour of working out and completing it for the day. I put my equipment away and took my recovery formula. I then hoped in the shower since I always liked smelling nice whenever I was done working out and not a pig. I used Men’s Dove Body Wash and Soap since it always kept my body nice and smooth and Axe Shampoo and Conditioner. I also had to be careful though with what I used on my body though because of my new tattoo that I just got. I decided to get my Zodiac which was Scorpio the Scorpion. Concealed in a circle with both; the scorpion and M symbol. Along with my birthdate and the name at the top of the circle. I got it because it was a part of my psyche and I thoroughly embraced it. Once I was done cleaning myself and hoped out of the shower. I put on my body spray and deodorant. I also realized that I needed to shave. So, I took several extra minutes to do a quick shave. Clean shaving my cheeks and under my chin. I then trimmed my mane that I had growing. It gave me a good style and made me look pretty cool. I then put some lotion on my tattoo to keep it moist since it needed to stay like that since it was still healing. Slipping into my boxers and shorts, and my Shield muscle shirt, (Shield from the WWE), I then went to the kitchen and put together my protein shake and a small chicken sandwich and sat down on my couch.

I turned the tv back on and flipped it to the CN channel and found some good old classic Tom and Jerry on. Yeah, I might be a man who prefers to work out and watch out for things but nothing could beat of me sitting down on the couch and watching some of the best slapstick and humor of all time and Tom and Jerry not only being my favorite duo but were the epitome of slapstick. As I sat there eating my food and watching and laughing at my favorite duo with Tom getting slapped with a frying pan by Jerry. My phone then took a ring and I found it to be an unknown caller. I usually; didn’t answer the phone and let it go to voicemail for that cause it could have been a telemarketer but went ahead and answered it anyway. So, I swallowed my food and answered the phone.

“Hello?”

“Hey Marshall, its Brittany. How’s it going?”

“Pretty good, but how did you get this number?”

“I got it from Jordon.”

“Of course!”

“So, what you doing?”

“Just replenishing myself after my workout.”

“Nice! Hey listen, I’m back in town for a while and was wondering that if you weren’t doing anything tonight. We could probably hang out for a little bit? You know, catch up since we never got to the last time I was back up here?”

“Wait, are you asking me out on a date?”

“Maybe!”

“Yeah sure, I’m up for that? Where did you want to meet?”

“Well, I was thinking maybe dinner in Jackson at Applebee’s?”

“Yeah, that’s fine with me. Would you like me to pick you up?”

“That’s fine if you want. I’ll be at my mom’s. Maybe around 5 o’clock?”

“That’s fine! I’ll see you then.”

“Alright! I’ll see you then. Bye!”

“Later!”

I hung up the phone and couldn’t believe what just happened as I was a little confused. [color=blue]“Did I just score myself an actual date with the girl that I had a crush on in high school?”[/color] It really did seem that way and I knew that I needed to look my best. After I finished eating I got out one of my nice dress shirts and pants. I carefully ironed them so that they would be nicely pressed and wouldn’t have any winkles in them. I then hung them up and shinned together my dress shoes. If this was indeed a date then I had to look my best. I always dressed to look impressive. It was my forte.

As the time went by I got dressed and gelled my hair and looked perfection. I grabbed my wallet, phone, and keys and went to my ’71 Convertible Cutlass. If we were going to go out then it would be in style. I also plucked a beautiful Lily from the garden and took it with me to give to her. I loved the inner beauty of many things, especially; flowers and new that a beautiful Lilly would be perfect for her. I then made my way in my Cutlass to her mother’s house and found her sitting in the swing that they had outside. She was dressed beautifully in a wonderful short white dress. Her hair was nicely done and she never looked so more wonderful then the last time I saw her. It had been nearly over 5 years since I last saw her and she was still the same fun filled Brittany. However; I saw her jaw nearly hit the ground when she saw me pull up in my Cutlass. She was quite astounded that I had such a magnificent ride. She then got up and came over to me as I pulled in the driveway.

“Where in the world did you get this?”

“I won it at the casino.”

I then got out of the car to let her in but not before presenting the Lily to her. “Here!”

“Oh Marshall, thank you!”

“Here, let’s do this.”

Since she was wearing a white dress and the Lily was white. It was more fitting for her to wear it. I carefully; placed the Lily in her hair. It brought out an even more beauty in her then I had ever seen before. She touched the flower in her hair and smiled and blushed at the same time. Then in quite an astonishing moment she kissed me on the cheek. I blushed soon afterword’s.

“You ready?”

“Yes!”

I opened the passenger door for her and escorted her in. After she got in and I shut the door I made my way to the other side of the car and got in. I put my seatbelt on and we drove off. Along the way we exchanged words of how everything has been since she moved out west and what I had been doing after all these years. She was the free spirit who loved to travel and explore what all nature had to offer while being a serious and caring nurse. I myself was the caring and protective type. Always there to make sure that everyone was safe and that no one got hurt. I was a lot like my step-great grandmother. Always making sure that no one did anything reckless and got themselves hurt. I informed Brittany along the way that I had made reservations for us so we wouldn’t have to wait. She seemed very excited about that. I was at times absent minded but did at times think ahead before going out.

After about an hour drive we finally made it to our destination. I pulled in a secure location though so that no one would try to scratch our ride. After parking I got out and opened the door for her. When it came to taking a lady out if ever presented the chance. I was always a gentlemen. It was how I was raised, to always be a gentlemen around a lady, especially; one as beautiful as her. After she got out and I shut the door. I cuffed my arm and she took it as I escorted her to the restaurant. There was an extremely large crowed outside and who could blame it was the holiday after all. Independence Day, though it didn’t feel that much anymore with the damn government playing politics and all that other shit. Anyway; the line was of no concern to us because I had reservations for us. We went inside and there was a couple arguing with the hostess. Demanding the seat that had a reservation label on it. They both then skulked out of the restaurant and we both got over but not before the guy rudely shoved Brittany but I was able to catch her before she fell over.

“You alright, Brittany?”

“I’m fine. Thanks Marshall!”

I lift her back on her feet and the hostess called to us. “Is the lady alright?”

“She’ll be fine.”

“Well that’s good. Just the two of you?”

“Yes, reservation for Burlew?”

“Ah, yes! So, you’re the two for that booth. That couple demanded that booth but it hadn’t been two hours yet and couldn’t give it up.”

“Thank you and sorry for the trouble.”

“Oh no, don’t worry about it sir. Please follow me and I’ll escort you to your seats.”

The hostess escorted us and we both sat down. We had the best booth in the house. Over in the corner where we could see the TV’s just perfect and where no one could actually disturb us. Brittany sat right next to me and I mean right next to me. No doubt she was a little shook up after that idiot tried to knock her down on purpose. He was lucky that I wasn’t one of those guys who would go right after him for dissing let alone trying to knock my girl down. I knew better because I was raised better than that. Our waiter came by and asked us for drinks. We took water and decided to share a bottle of wine together. We decided to go with a white wine, a BV Sauvignon Blanc. It had a very nice taste to it and we toasted to our reunion. We both ordered seafood and expressed of how much we both missed high school and all our friends from our class. However; one thing that I did notice that I noticed in myself. Was that Brittany clearly missed me and I missed her. Our food arrived about 20 minutes after we ordered and we ate.

After eating and exchanging small talk and me paying the bill and left a wonderful tip for the waiter. We decided to go for a walk. The night was still young and we still had some time before the fireworks went off for that night. We walked around the block of the mall where it was nice and dark so we wouldn’t be distracted by the cars and people walking by. Brittany then surprisingly took my hand in hers and I blushed. I couldn’t believe that we were holding hands. We made our way into a small ally where it was nice and dark and we both leaned up towards the wall and just continued to talk with one another. I never went into a deep conversation with anyone before, especially; a woman. I even told Brittany of how much I missed her and she blushed as well as informing myself of how much she missed me. She even blurted out something that I never would have dreamed of hearing from her.

“I’ve always had a crush on you. Oh!”

I blushed even harder as she covered her mouth thanks to her slipping tongue. There was no need to hold back as I mentioned mine to hers.

“That’s ok because I’ve had a crush on you for a long time to.”

I could tell that she was blushing as I was too. I couldn’t believe at what I just said and then much to my surprise. She placed her hands on my chest, leaned in, and kissed me. I had never been kissed by a woman before and couldn’t help but return the kiss. I placed my hands around her waist so she wouldn’t fall and returned it as the fireworks began to go off. Lighting up the ally as we kissed. We then separated and were both still blushing. I was about to say something but then we heard a noise. Footsteps were approaching us and we saw two goons coming towards us. One was short and the other was tall. I had a bad feeling as to what was going on. I backed Brittany behind me to keep her safe. However; it turned out to be a bad idea as it turned out that there were three as the third one from behind us grabbed Brittany and yanked her away from me. I turned around quickly to see the guy holding a gun against her and turned my attention towards the others as the short guy pulled a gun on me.

“Grab her purse bro. You! Give us your wallet and we’ll let her go.”

“Like hell you will. I know how you goons are. The second I give you my wallet and hand it to you you’ll dishonorably hit me over the head with the gun if not shoot me and do whatever to Brittany.”

“Smart guy! So, how ‘bout we make it even then?”

The small man placed the gun at my head to the point where it just touched and as soon as I felt it against my head. I struck just like I was taught. I quickly took both of my hands and pushed the gun above my ahead though it somehow caused the guy to get a shot off just above my head. I twisted the gun in his hand and ripped it out. The tall guy came after me but I gave him some sweet chin music of my own by first round housing his knee and then side kicking him under his chin. The guy who I disarmed came after me but I took him out with a reverse side kick and then turned my attention towards the guy that was holding Brittany hostage and pointed the gun in my hand towards him.

“Let her go! You don’t want any of this.”

“Put the gun down. Come on, I don’t want to have to hurt such a wonderful flower.”

He then much to my disgust licked her face and I wanted to go after her but knew if I did he would pull that trigger. However; much to my dismay I heard a shot get fired and thought it was the guy in front of me but then noticed that it came from behind as I felt something pierce my leg and yelled out in pain. I heard Brittany call out to me as I fell to the ground with the gun in my hand. Then I saw two other guys come out of the shadows both holding a gun. I pointed the gun at them but the other fired at my arm causing me to drop it. One of the guys rushed over and grabbed it and pointed at me. The other dude who was muscular kicked me hard in the stomach like three times causing me to lay on my stomach.

I then felt a gun on my head and knew that this was the end but then he removed it and I saw the other guy toss Brittany to the ground. With the fireworks going off and the light they were giving off I could see what they were going to do. They were going to rape Brittany and the left me there so that I would watch helplessly and unable to do anything. I heard Brittany screaming and begging them to stop but they wouldn’t let up as the beautiful flower that I gave her was torn from her along with her dress and destroyed. I grabbed the ground in rage as I couldn’t do anything but watch. I didn’t want to see Brittany become a rape victim. Then, something happened. Something that just came out of nowhere. I yelled something out loud. Something that only a fool would do.

“I WISH BRITTANY AND I WERE FAR AWAY FROM HERE AND FROM THESE CRIMINALS.” Then, in a flash of light from the fireworks. We were engulfed in the light and I blacked out from it.

will probably be able to FINALLY; finish a story for once. Also, I'll get a new chapter to my other story posted here soon. I've just been having a little difficulty on how I'm gonna write the next chapter.


I don't want to demotivate you or anything, but did you figured out what was wrong with your previous story in the first place? Because if you didn't, you are bound to repeat the mistake with yet another one. And there are 3 or 4 of them already.
Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world.

Hey guys; sorry that I haven't been around for that last few months but I hit a major burnout and had to take some major time off to recooperate. I think one of the reasons why I hit burnout was because I was just focusing on one too many stories at once. So, I'm going to focus on one at a time. Right now, as much as I want to focus on the other one. I've decided to focus on a main one right now. This one is gonna go back to the origins that you guys liked so much when I first started writing in this club. Yup, it's the actual return of the puzzles that you guys liked. Now, just a clear thing though. Not every chapter will have puzzles in them but when they do show up. I'll try to make them as clear and puzzling as possible. Also, every chapter is gonna be very long so that I can avoid the part type chapters unless it's absolutely necessary. Which means it might take a little longer for them to come out. I've also got a rant coming up in a couple of weeks that I have to take care of also. So, that might put me on a delay for a little bit. In the meantime, enjoy the new chapter that I've posted above.

Chapter II Myth into Reality!

I didn’t know for sure as to what happened or how it happened but the last thing that I remembered was that I was out on a date with my high school crush, Brittany and were in an ally. We had exchanged our very first kiss and were then ambushed by a group of thugs. I was then shot twice for trying to save Brittany and saw the thugs trying to rape her. Helpless and unable to bare the idea of that happening to her was too much for me. I then remembered that I made an out of left field wish that Brittany and I were far away from those thugs and safe. We were then covered in a blank of light which caused me to lose consciousness.

As I slowly opened my eyes I found it to be very dark. It had to be very late at night. Probably at least 2:00 o’clock in the morning. It took a bit for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. It was also a bit chilly which quite surprised me with it being about 70 degrees outside for the night. Though it was probably because I lost a good deal of blood from the bullet wounds. I tried crawling to where I last saw Brittany before I blacked out but ended up hitting a wall instead with my head. I thought that the thugs had moved me so in case if I woke up I wouldn’t be able to make it over to where Brittany was. I feared the worse for her but knew that I had to make my way to her somehow.

So, I felt around the wall and tried to see if I could stand up on my one foot since I wasn’t shot in both legs. It wasn’t easy and with the wall being my only support it took quite an effort to get to my feet. I slowly rose and was standing on my other leg that didn’t take a bullet. Unable to see with nothing in my sight since there was nothing but darkness. I was unsure of what to do as I stared the darkness straight in the face. Visions and possible fates of Brittany flooded my mind and nearly made tears run down my cheeks. I kept thinking about her and what had become of her. I then looked further into the darkness and noticed something. There was a small candle stick in a holder on a small desk that could possibly be my only salvation. The trick however was getting over there and I didn’t have time to feel around the wall to get there as I didn’t know how far the ally went.

So, I did the unthinkable. I raised my leg up that had taken the bullet and hoped over to the desk as best as I could. I got about halfway and then I hit what seemed to be a whole in the ground or floor that caused me to lose my balance. It forced me to use my wounded leg to catch myself even though I knew it would give out because of the wound and fall to the ground. However; much to my surprise I was actually able to catch my balance and stand completely on it. I didn’t have to let up on the pressure or anything. After catching myself, I put full pressure on it and it honestly and surprisingly didn’t hurt. Now that I thought about it, it didn’t hurt at all when I woke up and neither did my arm that took a bullet. I stood up on both of my legs and held my right arm up to my face but really couldn’t see anything just yet.

I then walked over but slowly just to make sure that my mind wasn’t playing any tricks on me. Sure enough and yet somehow it wasn’t. I was actually able to walk on both of my legs and they were both strong as ever before. I made my way to the desk and saw the candle but knew that it was useless to me if I didn’t have a way to light it. I then saw sitting right next to the candle was a few sticks of matches. They looked pretty warn though and I was unsure if they would light or not but I didn’t have a choice. I had to at least try.

I felt at least five matches meaning that I had a one out of five chance at getting the candle lit. I took one of the matches and scraped it against the desk hard which then caused the tip of the match to break off. [color=blue]“Oh great,”[/color] I thought. I would have to be even more careful. These matches were old indeed and I’d have to use less force to get a flame. I took the second match and scratched it against the desk with less force but more severe. It didn’t break off but didn’t light either. I tried again and still nothing. I tried for a third time and the match broke.

“Damn it!”

I decided this time to try something different. I took two of the last three matches together and try and light them together. I held them both together and scraped them against the desk. I did manage to get a spark but nevertheless; no light. I tried again and got a spark but still no light. I tried one more time and they both broke. I took my hand and padded it against my head like a simpleton who had just won the Best Half-Assed Prize. I looked down and saw the last match. This was my final chance to get that candle lit. I took the final match in my hand but this time also, picked up the candle stick with the candle in it and held it down near the desk where I was to strike the match to try and get it lit. I struck the match against the desk and a spark but no lit. I tried again but no lit.

[color=blue]“One strike! One more strike and it’s over.”[/color]

I took a deep breath and struck the match. It lit and there was a flame on the match. I lit the candle and I was able to breathe a little easier now. I then took the stick in my left hand and pulled the light towards my right shoulder. My jaw nearly hit the floor when I looked at my arm. There was shockingly no bullet wound. No blood, no scar, no bullet, nada. Same déjà vu with my leg. Nada!

“This has got to be a dream or something. I’m still unconscious and lord knows what’s happening to Brittany. Unless, I’M DEAD! No, I can’t be dead. I’m tougher than that.”

I started to panic but knew that, that would get me nowhere. I then thought about the wish that I made just before those bastards tried to rape her. [color=blue]“Did someone actually hear my wish and grant it? Was it supernatural or pure instinct?”[/color] Those two questions ringed heavily in my mind. I knew though that there wasn’t any time to actually stop and think about it. I needed answers but not before I found Brittany and I wasn’t going to find any by just simply standing around. With the candle in hand I walked around to pinpoint my location.

I started walking around the area to see where I was exactly. I started by examining the walls. They were made out of solid stone, almost marble. The floor looked pretty solid too a few holes in the ground not withstanding since it was a hole that caused me to trip earlier. I noticed as well as a small fireplace. With that discovery it was clear that I was now inside a small house as I then saw a few windows that were barricaded. Had I had the tools I would have lit the fireplace but right now this was my only light that I had. I found a door as well and tried to open it but to no avail. I tried forcing it open but it was barricaded just like the windows. I wasn’t about to give up though so I decided to try one more thing. With my leg healed I knew that I’d be able to do it. First, I tried a regular sidekick since it was my strongest kick. I got myself in a good position and focused my Ki into the kick and gave a good thrust to the door. Sadly it didn’t even budge. So, I went back to the wall and tried a double jump kick. Didn’t work either, all I did was end up on the floor.

“Dammit, how the hell am I going to get out of here?”

I sat on the floor pondering of how I was going to get out of this one with the candle sitting next to me. Then, I heard something. I heard a small cry coming from inside the house. My heart started beating like a racecar as I thought that it might be Brittany and so called out.

“Who’s there? Brittany, is that you?”

There was no response but the soft cry that I continued to hear. I called out again. “Is someone there? Please answer me?” There was then silence for a moment and then I heard a small whisper.

“Is…..is…..is someone…..there? Please…..don’t……don’t hurt me. I…..haven’t done…..anything to…..hurt you. Please!”

It was faint but the voice sounded like that of a little girl. I had to find her and know why such a little girl would be trapped in a place like this with me. I called out to her again.

“Don’t worry; I’m not going to hurt you. Please, tell me where you are so I can find you.”

“You’re…..you’re lying. You’ll…..you’ll…...you’ll try to hurt me just like…..just like you did to…..to my mother and sisters. Men…..are all the same.”

I could sense a great deal of pain coming from the voice. I had to do something to try and convince the child that I meant her no harm. “I’m not like other men who try and hurt woman because they think they’re superior to them. I’m a man of honor and I swear on that honor that I will not harm you. So please, come out child so we can talk. I promise, no harm shall come to you as long as I’m here.”

“You…..promise not to hurt me?”

“Scouts honor!”

“Well, ok! I’ll come out, just don’t try to swat me ok?”

“Why in the world would I do that?”

“Well, it’s because,” I then saw a flash of light come out of the corner of the room as it circled it. After circling for a while it then stopped in front of me and as the light dissipated. It then took a different form and eventually turned into a small being. After all the light dissipated and the form stood in front of me my jaw dropped and if it wasn’t for the bones it would have hit the floor hard cause I couldn’t believe what was standing before me.

“No way, just no way. It’s not possible.”

The child stared at me with a non-believable expression on her face. It was as if she actually expected me to know what she was and if I’d seen one of her kind before. “Why are you so surprised? Haven’t you seen a fairy before?”

She was very small, no bigger than your thumb like Thumbelina. She wore a small skirt that stretched down to her tiny legs with a forest green and lavender color. She had long hot pink hair and you could see the pointy ears stick out through it. She had what seem to be two pieces of a very small fruit in her hair, possibly a berry of some sorts. Her eyes were what seemed to be a deep orange color which was quite unusual for an eye color but this was indeed a fairy we were talking about after all. She had incredible large wings that almost resembled that of a butterfly with the mixture of rainbow colors. I couldn’t believe that there was an actual fairy floating in front of my eyes. I actually did almost consider the fact that I was either dead or in another dimension but was still not convinced just yet. I was about to ask her when her strong flapping wings all of a sudden gave out and she fell. I quickly reached out and put my hands under her and she fell into them. I then knelt on the hard floor and brought her close to my face to make sure that she was alright.

“Are you alright?”

She started breathing heavily as if she had just got done flying around the world and was starting to sweat. I put one of my fingers on her forehead and saw that she was burning up. She must have had a fever and needed treatment ASAP. She then caught her breath and looked at me blushing.

“I’m sorry; it’s just that my magic is fading. If I don’t return to my home soon I may cease to exist. As you can see though there is no way in getting out of here since all the windows and doors are barricaded.”

“How did you get stuck in here in the first place?”

I saw a bit of tears begin to form in her eyes as she explained. “My home became under attacked by human outsiders. They were starting to cut down our beautiful forests and burn it all to the ground. Saying that we fairies were evil and that there was no longer any place in this world for us. What has happened to them?” She then pressed her hands to her face and started crying. I reached into my pants pocket and found that I still had my tissue in it that I carried with me and gave it to her.

“Here, blow!”

She looked at the tissue and said, “Thank you!”

She blew her nose and made a funny noise when doing so. I couldn’t help but smirk as she blew her nose and dried her eyes. She then looked at me with this weird yet happy look in her eyes. “You’re the first kind human that I’ve met in a long time. You’re not like them at all.”

“I’ve never been the kind of guy who harms women let alone children. I was raised better than that. Now, can you tell me what all happened? You mentioned about something happening to the humans. Did they use to be friendly?”

“Yes, they were once our greatest allies along with the elves who are our only friends right now. We all use to live side-by-side together and care for the forest. Then, just one day everything changed. The humans became greedy, intolerable, and just didn’t care for us anymore. It was as if they were replaced with pure evil beings or something.”

“Hmm! Definitely something wicked this way comes.”

“Wicked? Where? Ah!”

She then ducked under the tissue and I started laughing and pulled up on the tissue. “Hey, you’re fine. There’s nothing wicked coming right here. It was just a metaphor that I used to describe your situation.”

“Oh!”

She then came out from under the tissue with a blushed look on her face again. As she sat in my hand. I then realized something that I had stupidly forgot to do. Introductions!

“Ah! How stupid of me, I asked you to explain your situation and I did it without introducing myself. My name is Marshall Burlew, but you can just call me Marshall.”

“Marshall? I’ve never heard of a name like that before. My name is Coral, one of the many daughters of the Fairy Queen, Fiorina. I’m nervous still but very glad that I’ve now met you.”

“Charmed! Now then, Coral. How did you get here and what did you mean that your magic was draining?”

“When our forest became under attack and we fled deeper into the heart of it into the kingdom. I was so scared that I got lost and didn’t know where to go. I then ended up coming face to face with one of the humans and he tried to harm me. I was so scared and thought that it was the end of me and screamed out loud and was covered in light. I then found myself here in this building and I’ve been lost, alone, and scared to death ever since then. Lying in the corner crying and sobbing, and worrying about my mother and sisters, and our beloved forest. It’s probably burnt to the ground by now. Furthermore; the longer I’m away from my forest the weaker I become because my magic begins to disappear. Our kingdom that resides within the heart of the forest is the source of our life force and magic. Without magic, we cease to exist and I don’t want to die. I haven’t even lived a hundred years yet and there’s still so much I want to see in life.”

She started to sob again as I could relate to her story. “I know how you feel, for I too am scared.”

“Really? But why would you be scared?”

“I’m scared for the woman that I’m trying to look for.”

“A woman? What kind of woman? Is she human like you?”

“Yes! She’s someone that I care for deeply and I need to find her but we must save your forest first.”

“Wait, you mean you’ll…..you’ll help me?”

“Of course I will. I can’t stand by and let a little fairy like you just sit here in the darkness and fade away into nothingness. We need to get you back somehow to your family.”

“Oh thank you big brother.”

She then flew right out of my hand and right into my face and hugged it. I couldn’t believe she called me big brother. I mean, yeah I had a sister but the fact that a fairy just called me that was kind of weird. All of a sudden she just became so energetic and started flying around the room like crazy. She then stopped in front of me with a big smile on her face.

“Alright big bro! How do we get out of here?”

“Your guess is as good as mine. Not even my skills can get the door open. Let’s look around maybe there’s a secret passage or something.”

“Right!”

I took the candle with its wax getting low and started looking for a possible hidden passage somewhere inside the building. Coral did the same as she searched every nick and cranny that I couldn’t get to. “How will we know if there’s a secret passage or not?”

“Usually; secret passages have a draft or sound coming from them that we should be able to either hear or feel. Listen carefully for any kind of sound in the corners that you can reach. I’ll look for levers and possible hidden buttons in areas that I could push in or pull.”

We must have spent nearly an hour trying to find at least some kind of lead that would be able to get us out of the house. I searched all the low areas while Coral searched all the high areas but to no avail as we could not find one single lead to getting us out of there. How cruel was fate to deal us with the hand we’d been dealt. I was about to actually give up even though I never gave up when I heard something coming from the fireplace. I put my ear towards it and heard a quiet yet very clear draft coming from it.

“Coral, come here.”

“What is it?”

“You hear that?”

“Yes, there’s something on the other side of this fireplace. How do we find out though?”

“There must be something…..”

As I felt around the fireplace one of my fingers pressed into the top of the arch and pushed a button in. A loud noise came from the fireplace and Coral and I moved back. The floor where the wood rent into the fireplace moved back and revealed a hidden staircase. However; the gust of wind that came out of the hidden passage caused the candle in my hand to blow out leaving us without any light. As the rumble subsided and everything was quite again a small light emitted from Coral.

“You can generate light?”

“Uh huh? All fairies can generate light. Mother always use to say that whenever a human was lost and couldn’t find their way home at night. We would emit a bright light and guide them home. Of course, that was before they became what they are now. I hope mother is alright and my sisters.”

“Don’t worry; Coral, I’m sure they’re alright. Now, let’s get a move on and get out of here ok?”

“You got it, big brother.”

“Why do you insist on calling me that?”

“Well, you’re strong, you’re big, you’re a male, and above all else you’re kind. That’s why I want to call you big brother. Is that alright?”

“It’s kind of weird at first but yeah. You can call me that if you want.”

“Yay! Then let’s go big brother. I’ll lead!”

“Alright; but just don’t get too far ahead of me now or I won’t be able to see.”

And so the two of us; a human and fairy of all things went down the hidden staircase and descended into pure darkness. Who knew what secrets or passages awaited us both down there but there was only one way to find out and that was to take that path itself. I only hoped that after I had gotten Coral home. I could find some clues as to Brittany’s location. No matter what, she was my top priority but I couldn’t just sit around and let someone as small and helpless as Coral alone to die. I had to get her back to her home and find out just what the hell was going on here and where exactly I was.

Chapter III Ancient Puzzles!

I’ll tell you one thing, I’ve never walked a staircase so long as I have for this one. I swear it felt like an hour before we got to the bottom of the stairs. Even Coral felt a little exhausted when we reached the end and she had it made with her wings. Then again with her magic retaliating and she was a smile child it would make sense with a hall as long as this for her to get tired. After I took the final step and stepped down on the solid ground I took in a very deep breath and out. However; Coral had a different reaction as she slowly fell to the ground and I caught her.

“Coral, are you alright?”

Her light then went out as she lay there in my hands. I was very worried about her as she lay there in my hand. You know, every time I looked at her she reminded me of my niece. She was just about the same size as her and Arya wasn’t even half a year old yet. Coral then slowly sat up in my hands and looked at me.

“I’m ok big bro, just exhausted.”

“Let’s take a break. I don’t want you overexerting yourself.”

“I’m fine bro! I can keep going.”

She then tried to relight herself and take flight but quickly fell back into my hands panting and breathing heavily. “See, you’re tired and you need to rest. If you push yourself too much you’ll end up making yourself sick as well as cause some serious damage. Come, listen to big brother ok and let’s take a rest.”

“Oh, alright!”

With Coral in my hand I sat down on the floor against the wall. She was able to give off a little light so we could both see. I stared down at Coral as she stretched herself out from all that flying. I then realized that I hadn’t asked her of where I was exactly and how my wounds that I had were all completely healed and needed to know.

“Hey Coral, where exactly am I?”

“Inside a cave with me silly.”

I let my neck drop in non-surprise that she was going to say that. So, I rephrased the question. “I meant, what planet am I on? What world am I in? And how the hell are my wounds healed as if they had never happened?”

Coral was kind of puzzled by my last question but was able to answer the others. “Our world is called; Yggdrasil. It’s the home of many different species, both; male and female of course. However; there are actually way more females then males. Most males go crazy to become attached to a female.”

I stared at Coral as if I had no idea what hell she was talking about and I didn’t. “You’re making no sense Coral.”

“Geez la weez big bro are you that dense. What I’m saying is that all the creatures say for some human settlements. Most of the creatures that inhabit this world are monsters or Mamono as the humans have come to call us.”

My jaw hit the ground when I heard that word come out of her mouth but it didn’t seem convincing enough for me as I closed my jaw. “Wait just one damn minute here. You’re telling me that this world is the home of Mamono? That’s impossible! I mean, I could understand with Fairies and stuff like that but come on Coral. Surely you’re pulling my leg.”

Coral looked at me with another puzzled look on her face. “Uh big bro, I’m not pulling on your leg nor am I kidding. There are many creatures that inhabit this world. Some of them even live among humans. There are succubi, beast tribes, us fairies, even the elements have forms and live in this world.”

“Ok, Coral! Succubi and beast tribes are the kind of insanity that I can get behind but elements? What do they have humanoid forms or something?”

“Now you’re starting to catch on. Yes, while being surrounded of their element they can take humanoid forms.”

“Coral, I was using that expression as a joke.”

Coral’s face turned frown as if she couldn’t believe that I was joking about something that she expected me to think was real. “Why don’t you believe me bro? Don’t such creatures live in your world?”

“Only such possibilities existed in the ancient times but now they’ve turned into mythos, mythology.”

“And what about me? Am I just some kind of mythos as well?”

“Well, you were at first but then when you appeared before me. Mythos suddenly became reality even though this is not my world. I admit, I was surprised at first but now it seems that there was indeed some truth to an existence like yours that may have thrived once on my world.”

“So, then you do believe me?”

“Sort of! I’d have to see with my own two eyes to know for certain. Perhaps your mother might be able to help shed further light on this world for me.”

“Oh she will, she will, for mother has lived here since the beginning of our world. She’s one of the very few that have been here since the beginning.”

“Good! Then she just might be able to help me find Brittany as well.”

“Who’s Brittany? Is she big sis?”

“Well, she’s someone very important to me. I think she’s somewhere here in this world too but we became separated when we came here or at least when I did. I don’t even know how I got here.”

“Can you tell me what happened? I want to know.”

“Well, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt.”

I told Carol of how I came into this world and where I was from. I told her that my world was known as Earth and what I did the night day before I came here. I told her about my date with Brittany, us sharing a romantic time together, what day it was, and what happened just before I made my wish.

“And that’s about it in a nut shell, Coral.”

“So, you and big sis were on a date? What’s a date exactly?”

I frowned as I couldn’t believe that she just asked me that. “You don’t know what a date is?”

“Well, I know there’s the date fruit but I didn’t know that it was a thing too.”

“Well, how should I put this? A date is when you take someone that you care for out. Take her out to dinner, to a romantic getaway, or to a special place.”

“Oh I see, big bro has a thing for big sis. That’s why he took her out.”

I blushed at her verbal explanation on the subject. “Well, I wouldn’t really say that.”

“Oh come on, I can see it all over your face. I would love to meet big sis one day. Anyway; so, you made a wish that the two of you were away from those meanies and landed in that house?”

“That’s how it appears to be, Coral.”

“Hmm! Maybe mother might know something once we get back.”

“If she can help me I’d be grateful.”

“Mother knows many things, ancient things.”

“Sounds interesting enough. Well, we should get going. There’s no telling how deep this path is.”

“Right, let’s go big bro.”

Coral then lit herself up again and led me down the path. The path was pretty long and there was nothing really in it say for a few rats and bats. Eventually; we treaded down the tunneled path until we reached another staircase. However; unlike the other staircase it was nowhere near as long as the other plus it was all made of marble as well as the hall that we walked into after we reached the end of the staircase.

“Now, where are we?”

“It almost looks like some kind of ancient temple or something.”

“I think you might be right, Coral. Look at these drawings and these pillars.”

With Coral’s light we were able to observe the carved in drawings that had been engraved into the pillars. There were also words carved in a language that I’d never seen before. The pictures and words in the pillars were clearly telling a story though but without knowing the words there was no way in telling what the story was. I had a knack for stories like these since they had always intrigued me.

“I wonder what its saying.”

“Me too, but alas. Coral doesn’t know how to speak the ancient language.”

“What ancient language is this?”

“Alas, Coral is unsure. It’s not Elven that’s for sure.”

“Hmm! Well, maybe I’ll discover it and learn it when I find Brittany. I am curious about this story that these pictures are trying to tell us. Anyway; let’s look for a way out of here Coral.”

“Right! Hey, what’s that?”

“Hmm?”

I looked to my left as Coral flew over to the farthest reach of the temple. There, we discovered an altar. Despite the rust that had grown on it over the times. There was nothing really conspicuous about it.

“Now what is there an altar doing here in this temple? Was this temple the home of an ancient cult or something Coral?”

“Your guess is as good as mine big bro. This is the first time that Coral has been outside her forest and has never seen anything like this before.”

“Hmm! I wonder!”

I took a closer look at the altar and examined it. I then realized that there was indeed something conspicuous about it.

“Ah ha!”

“What is it big bro?”

“There’s something off with this altar. Take a look at the surface of it. Look at these marks and how far they’re carved in. I think there’s more here than meets the eye.”

“What are you thinking bro?”

“I’m thinking that whoever built this altar didn’t put it here to offer prayers to whatever gods he, she, or they served but in a clever scenery of deceit. As a secret way out of this temple. Coral, focus your light on the center of the altar.”

Coral’s light grew brighter and directed it towards the altars center. My suspicion was correct as there was a very well hidden square shape hidden in the center of the altar. I pushed down on it but to no avail but I knew somehow that there was something hidden under it. I tried to drag it out with my fingernails but that had no effect. I then put my ear to it and tapped on it to see if there was any hollow shaft that could help me open it but nada. I then stood straight and put my hands on my hips with a puzzled look on my face.

“Hmm!”

“How do we open it bro?”

“Your guess is as good as mine. Let’s take a look around and examine the pictures engraved in the pillars again. Even though we can’t read the language but the pictures might be able to at least tell us something.”

“Right!”

There was no use in looking at the side that we observed when we entered the temple. So, we turned and focused our attention towards the other side of the temple. There were indeed some more carvings in the pillars just as the other side. This side I was able to understand despite not being able to read the text. It looked like it was describing the creation of this temple. It appeared to be a temple for what looked like some type of ancient brotherhood as there were hooded figures displayed in the engravings. In one of the pictures stood three monks. They were each standing in a certain area of the altar. One in the middle, one to the left of the altar, and one to its right. They were also each holding a certain item which seemed to represent the three stars of the universe. The sun, the moon, and the star itself which could represent anything from another sun, moon, a planet, galaxy, or hell even a whole new universe. Speaking from one who studied Astrology. I looked more closely though at the three stars and noticed something different about them. I then touched the sun and much to my shock it ended up pushing itself in and a loud rumbling occurred.

“Uh bro, what did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything.”

Then from out of the center of the temple hall rose another pillar. This one was different though as it was made out of a different texture then the other pillars were. After about two minutes the rumbling subsided and the pillar was done moving out of the floor. I then approached the pillar to observe it, carefully; making sure that no traps had been set after the pillars ascension. There wasn’t of course and I was able to observe it with Coral’s light. I then noticed that there was a similar square in the pillar just like the one I saw in the altar. However; this time as I pushed it in it actually went in. The plate then went down into the pillar and mounted behind the plate rested the sun that I saw in the pillar.

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Yeah, it’s the sun. Let’s see here.”

I took out the sun very carefully and found it not to be that heavy. It was actually pretty light. After removing the sun statue I saw a lever that was hidden behind it I had my suspicions of it yet I also had my theories as well with that lever and so turned my attention towards Coral.

“Coral, you think you can pull down that lever?”

“Are you sure? What if it’s linked to triggering a trap?”

“It won’t. I’ve seen this movie before.”

“Movie!?”

“I’ll explain later! Just trust me!”

“Ok!”

Coral placed both hands down on the lever. It took her some time and effort but eventually; she was able to press it down. After the lever was pulled down I then heard another noise. This one didn’t cause a tremor like the sun button did but instead much to my suspicion, caused the top plate of the altar to be pressed in as well. Coral and I approached the altar and noticed that in the opening that was now present before us was a slot that was shaped in that of the sun that I had just picked up.

“Just as I thought. This is a key.”

“A very funny looking key bro.”

“That’s because in ancient times. Secret organizations instead of using a normal key would craft them out of objects in order to try and outsiders give up very easily on their quest. Rather for treasure, gold, etc. This was very clever and still is today because no one would ever suspect it.”

I then placed the sun in the slot and then turned it. The altar then closed and then became one with the floor. Then from behind us opened up a new passage. A new passage that led outside as I could see light and a blast of air came into the temple as the path opened up. After the rumbling had subsided I looked at Coral and saw that she was dancing with joy.

“Yay, a way out. Let’s go bro!”

“Hmm!”

Coral led first and before I left. I looked back to the temple and my attention turned towards the pillars and their story. I didn’t know why but there was something about the story that those engravings and markings were trying to tell just felt kind of familiar to me but knew that I didn’t have time to study them as I had to get moving but vowed that I would return.

“I’ll be back.”

I then turned around and headed out the door and climbed the staircase and found Coral awaiting me at the top. As my eyes adjusted to the light and I was able to gaze out into the open my eyes just widened as I could not believe the scenery. I knew right then and there that what most of Coral had told me was true.

“Toto? I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”

Chapter IV FernGully!

The view that I had was just fascinating. Beautiful evergreen forests, flowing waterfalls with pure blue water as far as the eye could see, and not only that but the even the sky itself seemed to be the most cleared that I’d ever seen. It honestly didn’t look that much different from home, except for one noticeable factor as I inhaled in the outside air. The air felt very different from that back home. It felt not only good when the soft gentle wind blew it on me but just by inhaling it in. I felt as if I was actually breathing in fresh clear air unlike the toxins that filled our environment due to all the factories that let out all those harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. I let out a strong sigh and saw Coral looking out into the open. I walked up to her and saw what she was looking at. Within from what I could estimate at about 2 to 3 miles was a good size forest. I was willing to bet that, that was her home where the other fairies resided.

“Is that your home, Coral?”

“Yes, that’s FernGully; my home.”

I noticed that there was no smoke rising from the forest and yet Coral said that their home was under siege by humans. “Where’s the smoke?”

“Smoke?”

I was puzzled when she answered that with a question. Something suspicious was going on here and I had to find out before I went any further. “Yes, smoke! You said that your home was under siege by possessed humans or something. When I think of a forest under siege by humans. I imagine fires burning down the forest. Smoke rising from it, and trees being cut down and yet I see nothing of that. Is there something you’re not telling me because now would be a good time to do so. The last thing I’d be willing to do is to walk into a trap.”

Coral then turned away from me and spoke. “N…..No! I’ve told you everything. I’ve nothing to hide.”

“Coral!”

“I…..I swear! I’ve told you everything.”

“You’re lying! I’m very good at this and can tell when a person is lying. Come on, come clean now. You shouldn’t lie to your big brother because big brother can hold a huge grudge against those who he’s been lied to.”

“I swear!”

“Then look at me. Look at me and tell me that you’re telling the truth.”

Coral then turned back around and faced me. I noticed that she started to shake very bad and tears started to fall from her face. She was definitely lying but why I did not know. “Ok! You win! Yes, I haven’t been completely honest with you.”

She then started to fall and I caught her in my hands before she could hit the ground. I held her in front of my face as she wiped her eyes with the handkerchief that I’d given her earlier. “Blow!”

She did just that and wiped the tears from her eyes. I then asked her again. “What have you not told me cause now is the time to do so.”

“I’m sorry; bro, but I had to. It was the only way.”

“You brought me here to lure me into a trap didn’t you?”

“Yes!”

“Why?”

“Because…..”

Before she could finish explaining I noticed a different smell in the atmosphere. It smelled sweet and almost of honeysuckle but there was something else to it. Something that was causing me to become drowsy as I started to fall to the ground and I heard Coral.

“Oh no! Marshall, don’t breath in that in or you’ll…..”

It was too late as both Coral and I collapsed and fell to the ground. My eyes became heavy and I closed them. Just before I blacked out I whispered, “Brittany,” and then everything went black.

(Meanwhile; somewhere far away!)

“Get the hell off of me you filthy squids.”

“Not until we find out where the hell we are and when we find that boyfriend of yours. We’ll be ripping him a new one. If he isn’t dead already which he probably is.”

“Marshall’s alive and when he finds you. It’ll be you who will get ripped a new one.”

“Strong words from one who’s about to get the fuck of her life.”

“Boss!”

“Anything boys?”

“Nothing, no sign of him and we have no idea where the hell we are.”

“Damn! Whatever that bastard did, he’s going to pay. Until then, let’s have some fun with this little flower and deflower her.”

“Now you’re talking!”

“No, don’t you dare!”

“Oh come on, you know you want it.”

“No, let me go!”

“Release the lady immediately?”

“What the hell?”

“Huh?”

“Boss, look up there.”

“What in the hell?”

“I said release her immediately or I will slice you like a knife cutting through butter.”

“What the hell is going on here? Why is that bastard dressed like a centaur?”

“I’ve no idea boss but let’s get out of here.”

“Consider yourself lucky for now bitch.”

“Hmm! Cowards! Ugh! Are you alright my lady?”

“Yes, but who are you and what are you?”

“Apologies my lady. I am Sir Greyhem Longinus; Captain of the Centurion Knights and as you can see. I am indeed a Centaur.”

“But, Centaurs are just legend and yet one stands before me.”

“Hmm! Judging from your clothing and the expression on your face. You must never have seen a Centaur before. So, you must be from the other world aren’t you? I believe it is a place called; Earth?”

“Wait, I’m not on Earth anymore? You’re saying I’m on a totally different planet?”

“Correct my lady! You are within the domain of Yggdrasil. Tell me my lady, those men that ran away with their tails between their legs. Were they also from Earth?”

“Yes, and had you not come. They probably would have raped me again for the second time.”

“Such deplorable acts that man will stoop too just to satisfy their carnal desires. Tell me my lady, how did you come to be here?”

“I don’t know! Last thing I remember is…..wait. Where’s Marshall?”

“Marshall, my lady?”

“Yes! He’s my friend! I think it was him that I somehow ended up here.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, before those goons were about to force themselves on me. I heard Marshall yell out some kind of wish or something. Next thing I know is that I find myself here in this open field with two of the four goons.”

“A wish? Could it be? Hmm!”

“I have to find Marshall. I’m worried that if he’s here that he may be in grave danger. Before we were brought here the goons greatly injured him.”

“I see! Then my lady as the Captain of the Knights of Centurion it is my job to assist you.”

“You’ll help me?”

“But of course! My knighthood was created to help those who are in need. Besides, you’ll need an escort as from one who’s been nearly all over Yggdrasil. First, let us return to my village and get you settled. It’ll be dark soon and it’s not very wise to wonder at night. Many dark creatures roam these lands at night.”

“Thank you Sir Greyham. My name is Brittany by the way.”

“Very well then, Lady Brittany. I shall do everything in my power to help you find your friend. Come, let us return to Steedsville.”

(Meanwhile back in no man’s land)

“Ugh! Where am I? Coral? What the hell?”

I woke up to find myself in a cage that was hanging high in the trees. I found myself to be inside a giant dark forest. I wasn’t too sure if I was in FernGully; Coral’s home, or if I was totally inside another forest. It was hard to tell since I was hanging in a cage and there was barely any light shining through the forest. I also discovered that there were other cages hanging in the other trees as well. There were also a few hanging near me with people inside them. Most of them being male humans. I looked to see if any of them were still alive let alone awake but didn’t seem like it until.

“Well, well, well. What do we have here?”

I turned around and noticed that in one of the cages were two of the four goons that attacked me and Brittany. I gripped the cage in rage and anger and wanted to pummel the living shit out of them. “You!”

“Yes, us and it seems that you’re in the same situation boy.”

“Where is Brittany? What the hell have you done with her because I swear by the dark mother if you’ve harmed her in any way, hell will be far more merciful then my wrath.”

The two goons just smirked and just lay back in their cages like they were enjoying this. “You might as well as just save your energy boy cause you’re gonna need it. In case you didn’t notice we’re not exactly in Kansas anymore Toto. As far as your girlfriend we haven’t the damnest idea where she is for as you can see we’re missing two of our own as well.”

“Yup! We got captured pretty much the same way you did. Though I would never had expected for you to be captured by a fairy of all things.”

The two goons just started laughing and pondering of how I lead myself to being captured by a fairy. In truth be told, I had been tricked from the beginning. Coral deceived me into bringing me here. I don’t know why but I wasn’t very well pleased.

“You know, technically; this is all your guys fault. If you hadn’t come after me and Brittany none of this would have happened. Furthermore; how the hell did you guys end up here with us in the first place? The wish I made was for Brittany and I to be far away from you goons.”

“I guess that’s what we’d call a setback. Who knows, maybe she’s having the time of her life right now with our buddies.”

“Too bad we’re not there to join in on the action.”

As they started laughing again I began to get an even tighter grip on the bars and just wanted to choke the living hell out of them until I heard another voice. This one came from above me in another cage. I saw that it was another male but this one wasn’t human. In fact, the male seemed to be almost like an elf.

“Such vulgar language in disgracing the beauty of the opposite gender. You, my friend shouldn’t allow them to tangle with your emotions like that. As they said, “you’ll need your energy and strength to survive in this forest.”

“Who are you and where am I?”

“I’m Ku’Lovarn Ketavarn of the elves and you are in FernGully the ancient home of the fairies, or it used to be until she moved in.”

“So I am in the right place. Lovarn have you seen a small fairy that goes by the name of Coral?”

“I have! She was called in to the deepest part of the forest by the new mistress just shortly after you were brought here.”

“I see! What’s happened here? I can tell that something is wrong here. Coral said that her forest was under attack by humans and that she wished me to help her but when we got out of the cave that we were trapped in. I found it to not be burning or anything. She was about to tell me something when all of a sudden I lost consciousness.”

“You must have been knocked out by a sleeping gas cause you were carried in by human hunters.”

“Who are they?”

“They’re a small band of mercenaries who hunt down male humans for a certain individual and bring them to that individual for the right price unspoiled.”

“When you say individual. Do mean of someone like yourself?”

“In a way; though I can tell you right now that you’re going to have to prepare yourself. Coral was originally sent by the new mistress of this forest to find her a suitable male and I believe that person is you my friend.”

“The name is Marshall, sir and if what you say is true then Coral lied to me from the beginning. Though, I think she was starting to have a change of heart when I found her out earlier. I just need to know why?”

“No doubt, to free her mother and fellow kinsman. The new mistress promised to leave the forest and release her family if Coral did this one thing for her.”

“And who exactly is this new mistress?”

“You’ll see for yourself for they come for you.”

I then saw as it started to get darker inside the forest with night ascending upon us. Two torches and a few of what I deemed to be the hunters that brought me here came near the tree. They then took the rope that kept my cage hung in the tree and lowered it to the ground. After it hit the ground they opened it and yanked me out like I was some kind of lifeless doll. They both; appeared to be like giant pigs on two feet. Some type of Orc probably. Anyway; they both warned me to not try anything as they put a collar around my neck with a rope attached to it and started pulling me in their direction.

After walking through the forest for nearly ten minutes we came to the center of the forest. The trees were even more huge then the ones that surrounded the cages. The thick luscious greens at the top of the trees made it nearly impossible for light to penetrate it. It was as if I was in a rainforest despite it being so cool inside the forest. After taking me deeper into the forest we finally reached a small pathway and the orcs forced my knees on the ground and removed the collar and ordered me not to move. I then saw in front of me a glow of light come down to me and knew who it was.

“Coral!”

I reached out and she landed in my hands crying. “Oh big bro, I’m so sorry about this but I had no choice.”

“I know, the elf told me everything. So, stop crying ok. Did they release your family?”

“No, and she said she would if I did what she asked.”

“And I shall Coral. I gave you my word and I’ll live by it, but first we must see how this lovely morsel shall provide me.”

I then saw descending from the trees was this great winged creature. When she landed a couple of torches ignited themselves and I saw her. Fear for the first time in a while swept across me as I stared at what could only be described as one thing.

“A Dark Angel!”

She smiled as if she seemed pleased that I knew what she was. “A human that actually knows of my kind? That makes you even more valuable. I will see though just how valuable you truly are.”

A very nice story, not difficult, well written. It didn't had the chance to reach as far as the others did, yet it doesn't fall behind those in any way except the obvious length.

There is a just one thing. Story labelled as MSGF doesn't have to follow "transported to another world" plot, does it? Why you picked this over virtually anything else?

I don't know, I guess it's because I wanted to go back to the origins of when I wrote my first story which dealt with puzzles and tension even though I never got that far but everyone did seem to like it. Furthermore; free stories are mainly for those who want to create their own universe and I didn't want to go the same route as I have for my other free story. I like to experiment with different worlds and universes because I'm always thinking about how can I write this? What can I do to make it more creative and fresh? I'm always thinking of ideas that I can include in this type of story. Sure, I could have chosen a better solution maybe but I just felt the need to have it occur in another world through the transportation thing again.

Furthermore; I've become a lot smarter and wiser in writing my stories hence why each chapter is so long now. I don't plan to write and short chapters anymore unless if it's like a small mini part of a certain chapter or something but would have to play a certain role in the story though if I do.
