Hello all. I'm really excited to publish this story and I hope you all enjoy reading it. I recently finished the whole series of the show and got the crazy idea for this story after it. Again, hope you all enjoy. I know exactly where I'm planning to take this but I don't know exactly how long I want to make it yet. Anyway, enjoy! :)

Adeline was a simple girl. Her schedule was the same every day. Wake up, watch an episode of anime, train, go to school, and then stretch while doing homework before bed. She never expected anything out of the ordinary to ever happen to her. Sure, she enjoyed the fantasies created by animators but she was a very realistic person all the same. That is until she woke up one day.

It began just as you would expect, on a normal Monday morning. She got up at 5 o'clock sharp, got dressed quickly, and sat down for the final episode of the current anime she was watching. Magi: The Kingdom of Magic. She was finally at the part where the "apocalypse" was averted last second and now everyone was relieved for the time being. After finishing the episode, she sat there. Soaking in the drama and overall magic of the show. She sighed got up, grabbed her sniper rifle, and started running toward the hills overlooking her house.

Ever since Adeline could remember she had been training. It might not have been with a real gun until she was about ten but her father wanted to prepare her for a life alone. A life without him. So, she trained. Every day before school she had gotten up early and was forced to run laps around the yard. Each day the circle got just a little larger. After a few laps her father would then instruct her in hand-to-hand combat. Drilling every sequence he could think of into her head. It was hard grueling work. Eventually, Adeline learned to love it all and found she was generally good at it as well. She could still hear her father tell her, "One more time, Adeline!".

She smiled thinking of the memory, as she jogged up the rest of the hillside. When she was finally allowed to handle a gun for the first time, Adeline almost immediately fell in love with her sniper rifle. The fun of stalking your prey and patiently waiting for just exactly the right moment made her blood start pumping. She sighed in bliss at the memory of the feeling she had each time she tracked down her target. Usually it was only birds or other game in the area for occasional meals but sometimes she had a large animal/predator in the area which needed to be put down. The reason being because it was sick or it was left behind by its herd. Whichever the reason, Adeline saw fit to put it out of its misery and train a little in the process. When she got a large cat in the area, that was when it got fun. Not only was she stalking her prey but it was stalking her. It exhilarated her every time.

She breathed in sharply and closed her eyes as she reached the top of the hill. Adeline looked out onto the beautiful landscape, soaking in the beautiful picture. Then, she bent down and set up. She took out her stand and then lowered herself to ground in front of her scope to sight for any game in the skies. It had been a while since she last had bird and she wanted to have some meat tonight. Then out of the corner of the scope she saw movement. There was a pheasant within range soaring through the sky.

"Aw," she said. "There you are." Then after marking its course in the air, taking into consideration the wind, and distance she lined herself up for her shot. The seconds almost ticked by at a standstill until finally she felt the need and pulled the trigger.

It was a direct hit. Adeline watched the directory of the pheasant's route to the ground and then estimated its approximation. After determining this, she started towards it rifle in hand.

After only about fifteen minutes she made it. The bullet had cut cleanly through the bird. It was an excellent shot. Adeline smiled delighted with her success and then looked down at her watch. It was only about 7:30. She still 2 hours before her first class. Just enough time to clean the bird and get cleaned up, she thought.

Just as she had collected her bird, suddenly she felt a strange sensation in her gut. Adeline clutched at her stomach in fear. The sensation was starting to become almost painful. Her head started to pound and she knelt back to the ground dropping the bird.

"What is going on!?" Adeline chocked out.

Then it stopped…The rest of the forest was silent all but for the thoughts in Adeline's head. All of which were telling and pulling her to walk deeper into the forest.

Almost without consent, she got up and started moving in the direction her body was being pulled. Slowly, she got deeper and deeper into the woods until finally she came to what seemed to be an old abandoned cave. It felt familiar somehow but she couldn't remember ever seeing it on her property. And she had been all over her property… But here it was. A cave which seemed almost sinister in nature.

Unexpectedly, a light began to glow in the back of the cavern. It was pulsating. Almost as if it was alive. Adeline was slowly being drawn closer and closer to the object by whatever force was in her mind. The further she crept into the cave, the farther and farther away the sunlight seemed. When it almost was as if there was no other light but the light from the object, she finally found it nestled between some rocks. It was none other than a decrepit, rusted old sword. It looked as if it was about to disintegrate if she touched it. The odd glowing was coming from a symbol on it shaped like a star with a circle around it. But wait? She thought. Doesn't that circle mean…

Slowly, Adeline knelt to touch it. The world around her started to turn hazier the closer she got to it. Her fingers touched the cold metal of the sword and for a moment nothing happened. Then she felt an enormous shove in her gut. She closed her eyes for fear of throwing up with how sick she felt.

For while she stayed like that, hugging herself, until she felt her stomach return to normal. Then she felt wind on her check. And suddenly heard…people…lots of people. Like a city full of people. Shocked she opened her eyes suddenly and stood up erect.

All around her was a multitude of people. In the thousands! There were stalls set up on the side of the street selling different goods and as she turned she saw a large palace to her left. A golden gate and guards standing out to guard the entrance. She spun around again. Not believing her eyes. Then….she screamed… She screamed until all the air left her lungs. Closed her eyes counted to ten and then opened them again. Only to find everyone… was staring at her… She started laughing.

"Ah ha," Adeline felt violated by everyone's stares. And they weren't just staring at her like a maniac. They were staring at her because she was dressed completely different compared to everyone else. "Hi," She waved. Then she ran out of sight into an alleyway before anyone could stop her.

"Where am I?" Adeline asked herself, when she was out of danger of the crowd. "Okay, think. Have you seen this place before? Where was the last place I remember being? Okay, breathe." She breathed in largely and thought.

"Okay," Adeline stated. "I remember walking into the cave and touching the glowing sword. Then I showed up here. Wherever here is… And either my imagination is running wild from that anime or I am in Balbadd. Which is insane, right? Right!?" She almost screamed.

"Breathe, breathe." She breathed deeply again. "Now, what is the best thing to do in this situation if I really am in the show?" It took her all of five seconds to consider and then she knew exactly where she wanted to be.
