Hey everyone! This is my first real fanfic, and the first thing I've ever put up online. Hope you enjoy, and yes, I did take a lot of liberty in altering the plot. Reviews welcome, especially constructive ones. Enjoy!
Prologue
As I walked down the street one afternoon, something shiny caught my eye. There, sitting in the gutter, was a smooth glass-like orb. Curious, I picked it up. For a moment it looked innocent enough. Then it started to glow.
I stared at it in disbelief, but before I could even utter a cry there was a lurching feeling in my entire body and I was sucked through a portal that had not been there before.
