CHAPTER 1

I was facing towards the sunset. I was looking at a girl about my age that was also looking at me. The wind was at my back so the almost see trough robes, silk I believe, were pressed against her skin. Her bleach-white wings were at full spread but the wind pushed them back so they were straight behind her. Her golden hair was fluttering about her face. Feathers from her wings were flying about us in the wind.

"Come Raydock, come to me, come to me my champion" she called as she held out her hand.

I held out my hand and reached for her.

"Raydock! Are you paying attention?" called Mr. Smith.

"I don't know, how much does it cost?" I asked, which got a snicker from the class.

"Never mind, what's the answer?"

"Could you please repeat the question?"

"Find the square root of one hundred divided by four?"

"Oh sorry, the answer is five"

"Now, when you…….."

My thoughts drifted back to my dream. I've been having this same dream for a week. What does it mean?  It's been driving me nuts!

The bell rang; I grabbed my things and headed for my locker. I put my stuff in and closed my locker to see Taylor and Christopher.

"Hey" I said.

We started to walk along the hall, talking about our lives. We kept walking until we came up to Brenna and Cora, who joined us. We left the school and walked through the small forest beside our school. Walked till we were at about the middle of the forest were their was an archway.

We all stopped and stared at the archway. Through the arch we saw what, to me, looked like the inside of a castle.

"A portal" said Taylor.

A group of kids walked past and went trough the arch. Not under the arc, through the arch.

"Raydock, help me!!"Yelled Cora.

We looked to see Cora being pulled into the arch.

"Cora!!" I yelled as I jumped in after her.

I saw a blur of color and I went black.
