I realize this is short for a first chapter, but it's more of a prologue.
Enjoy!

In the fast-paced world of today, many people cannot even begin to attempt looking beyond themselves. They forget the beauty of the world, the majesty of nature...the mysteries of magic. Now of course there are exceptions to this rule. There are those rare few who weave tales full of adventure and wonder, inspiring thousands to believe in the impossible. And 'impossible' is right where our story begins.

Now, when it is impossible to do the smallest of supernatural acts here on Earth, why believe in magic at all? Why entertain the possibility that there could be entire worlds out there, filled with magic? Far fetched as it seems, this is only the truth. In total, there are three worlds. Two of them, Earthland and Edolas, exist side by side. Their existence mirrors the other so closely that even similar versions of the same people exist. People have traveled back and forth between these wondrous places, though not often. And then, there is the third world.

Earth. It is so separate from Earthland and Edolas, not even the smallest scrap of information exists in the most obscure of legends. The people there have never had any type of magic to call their own. While Edolas had magic in the land years ago, and Earthland wizards use magic to this very day, citizens of Earth have always had naught to rely on but themselves and their own inventiveness.

So, what would happen if the most magical world and the most mundane world were to collide? How? Why?

Earth to Earthland...the story is about to begin.

Just...a little...higher... I had to move quickly, or the glue would cool. I reached as high as I could, the plastic flower millimeters from the perfect spot. I leaned forward a bit, and..."Perfect!"

I placed the hot glue gun on the table nearby and stepped back to admire my work. Looming before me was what was going to be the most amazing float in the homecoming parade. An eight foot brown tower, doused with glitter, adorned with flowers and fake branches. Glittering, intricate windows encircled the tower. There was an entire fairy village built around the base, and colorful frames on the front and back that acted as windows into the world of the fairies. No dinky pony cart for the drama club this year, thank you very much.

"Such majesty! I think I may die!" A voice echoed from the shop door.

"Shut the hell up, Cory." I replied without looking away. Instead of bantering with the idiot, I decided to be productive and clean up my supplies. I was done for the day, anyway. It wasn't like I was avoiding him or anything.

By now you may be wondering what is going on.

My name is Raven Mori, a senior at Saturn High school. I'm a fully active(obsessive) member of the drama club. The year has only just started, so of course the whole school is excited for Spirit Week and the Homecoming dance. It was Fairy Tales this year, by the way. The school also has a parade, with each class, club, and sports team getting the option of creating a parade float. That's what I had been working on, instead of goofing off with the other members of the club. And the idiot standing in the doorway was Cory Bell, another senior. I'd known him since we were freshmen. He annoyed me, I annoyed him, the relationship worked pretty well.

"Club is over, Ray. Everyone else is going home. Trying to escape into your fairy tale world?" Cory teased.

"It'd certainly be more interesting than hanging out with you." I shot back with a smirk. I walked over to where I'd left my backpack and threw a strap over my shoulder.

"That hurts!" He replied as we exited the shop through the drama classroom. "At leas I'm more fun than the rest of this school."

"I don't know about that. I mean, you're such an ass that -" I paused when I opened the door to the outside. "Shit."

"Don't suppose you have an umbrella?" Cory asked.

It was pouring rain. I really do mean pouring, the stuff was coming down in sheets. Though I saw nothing, there was a distant rumble of thunder. "Yeah...I'll walk you to your car." I fished around my backpack and pulled out a battered blue umbrella. When opened, it was barely enough to cover us both. So we had to walk closely. Very closely.

"Lovely day, eh?" I asked sarcastically.

"Just gorgeous." Cory opened his mouth to say something else, but was cut off as the sky lit up and thunder roared. "Woah! Too close!"

We really shouldn't be outside right now. I thought to myself. Especially with an umbrella that has a metal core. "We should hurry up." Puddles splashed as we hurried across the parking lot. We were just feet away from Cory's car when I felt something deep in the pit of my stomach, like I had just jumped off a cliff. Something bad is about to happen...

I didn't have time to ask Cory about it. Because then, the world went white.

I heard a roar, louder than anything I'd thought possible.

My body felt like it was on fire.

I was falling...

And then...

Nothing.

So yeah, there we go.
Next chapter will be much more exciting, I promise.
And a question. I've already decided to make Raven use water magic.
What do you think would be fun for Cory?
