Entry 1

Time to summarize the day. At least that's what other people, writing in personal journals, do. Maybe, since this is my first journal, I should start from the very beginning.

I was spending a day with my two friends: Gem and Jodi. The three of us were enjoying a game of Magic. Jodi and I had our usual 5-minute matches where I win the majority of the time. Gem, meanwhile was watching so that she can learn how to play. She did say that she was more of a visual learner. Once she got the basics down, we played free-for-all the rest of the time.

It was after our latest match; I won that one with my second rank black deck, when a blinding light appeared. I had to shield my eyes from it but I could feel strands of my hair whipping about. Cards were flying everywhere! The next thing I knew, I was in a new world.

It took an hour or two before I was fully convinced I was in another world. I mean come on! Anybody with a smart mind can see how ludicrous this all sounds. A girl who has suddenly been transported into a magical realm. A bunch of garbage is what it sounds like. Tell this to a psychologist or a psychiatrist and they'll probably give you a diagnosis of a mental illness. Being me, of course, I know for a fact I'm not insane yet!

My personal guardian spent even more time just explaining everything to me. How it happened and why. The first thing I did was compliment my unconscious mind for it's creativity and stubbornness to argue that this was all real. In the end I figured out it really was real. It only took a fiery cat beast to lunge at me from the thicket to convince me. No wait, it took it's claws digging into my skin to convince me this wasn't a dream. Oh, how dearly I wish it was.

Lucky for me, my specter handled that kitty right away with a swoop of his pale blade. He of course is my guardian and it is his duty to see no harm comes to me. I thanked him for doing what was expected and finally told him that I now believe him. Even though he did not have a face, just a pit of darkness in his hood, I could tell that he was relieved. If I were in his shoes' I would be too, at least I won't have to keep explaining the same thing over and over again.

All that happened 5 days ago. Funny, it seems a lot longer now. Within those 5 days, I learned how to defend myself by using my main black deck magic cards. I also learned how to use the spell book, which according to my guardian only came to exist because I came into this realm, to have access to my other cards and decks. Also, I managed to completely obliterate another mage who had the displeasure of challenging me to a duel. I felt so powerful! The puny mage had no right to wield black mana. I gracefully showed him the proper way to use it by utterly crumbling his defense and making sure he was just beyond death's door.

That was fun.

On an entirely different note, I've been wondering where Gem and Jodi are. I can only assume that they've also been sucked into this world and are probably with their guardians. Jodi can take care of herself since she knows magic but Gem on the other hand… That's it than! I'm going to search for Gem first. I can't believe I didn't decide to do this earlier! Idiot!

Hopefully, those two don't die. I swear by the gods above that if I find their mangled corpses, I shall hunt their guardians, burn them on a spike, reanimate them and then force them to be my slaves!
