Modern Sands

by ColoredFlame

Zachariah Price has heard stories, stories about a long dead prince, who traveled through worlds and defeated many enemies. He thought the stories were fake, told to amuse and to scare, but they cause stirrings in him nonetheless. One day on vacation, Zachariah finds a dagger buried in the sand, and thus begins an adventure beyond time.

1. The dagger

I hadn't really thought about the old stories in a while. The stories about the prince, the one who supposedly went through mystical adventures. Although I knew that that could never happen, I still wished and wondered.

So naturally, when I found it in the sand, I thought it wasn't real. You know, a figment of my imagination created by my endless wonderings and wishes. Until I willed it to transport me. Back, to the days when the prince of Persia still roamed, and when the world was still bathed in mystery.

Or something like that, anyways.
