Chapter 1 BIG WEIRD BOOK!

Fortune is a modern girl with brown hair and beautiful scarlet color eyes. It was really rare to see someone with scarlet color eyes and so she was deemed special. She lost her parents when she was two years old and her grandpa took her in. She loved reading and had a pet cat, Sage. Sage followed her everywhere and she loved it.

Fortune wasn't the type that payed attention to cute and cool guys but her beauty got them lining up. Girls saw her as a competition but she didn't care. She had a great sense of humor and could joke with anything and get away with it. Her smile was her charm and she looked so innocent but she always has a ace up her sleeves. She'd never listen to gossip and isolate herself just to get away from trouble even if she was a trouble maker.

Fortune hoped to get all the books she could read and unlock each meaning. She always referred to books as cages that held secrets captive and it was her job set them free of their secrets and that was what motivated her to always read. The mysteries, she would say, needs to be unlocked in a quiet and balanced place of both ideology and comfort and so she chose a spot in the garden where all this was found and names it her special spot. Life went on that way for her and she lived up to each passing day to always solve a mystery in a book.

Fortune was cleaning up her grandfathers study room when she came across a big weird book. It had some ancient writings on the front cover that she couldn't understand. She looked at it as a kind of mystery that needed to be solved and the only place to do that was her special spot in the garden.

"Grandpa, I'll be heading out with Sage" She announced as she stuffed the book inside her bag pack.

"Take your phone with you." Her grandpa reminded and she did just that. She put in her usual stuff. Her camera, a pair of binoculars, a recorder and of course a few snacks. It all went in the bag smoothly and she flung it over her back.

"Bye grandpa." She said and made for the door.

"Fortune be careful. Where you're going is a very strange land, you better watch your back"he advised

"What are you talking about grandpa? Am only going to the garden, its not far from here" Fortune said feeling that her grandpa was mistaking her movement to the garden to somewhere else. Her grandpa smiled in response to what she said and nodded.

Fortune got to the garden and parked her bicycle by a tree. She found her way to her special spot and dropped her bagpack on the floor. Sage found its way out of the bag and rubbed its fur allover Fortune's leg.

"You came out early " Fortune said and Sage purred earning a chuckle from her. She sat on the grass and took out the book. "Now let's see what mysteries lie within this book" she said and opened the it. All of a sudden, the letters in the book sprang up in the air in golden colors and formed a magic circle around them.

"What the... " the magic circle surrounded them and they found themselves falling from the sky. "Ahhhhhh!" Fortune screamed as they fell and Sage clung on to her back as she braised herself to crash on the roof bellow. They crashed through the roof and fortunately, landed on something soft but couldn't see a thing, it was all dark.

"What just happened? And... Where are we? "
