Hey guys. This is my first attempt of writing a story, essentially ever. I hope you like it, and don't forget to review.
It was time.
Julley had been waiting for this moment for this moment, ever since they'd found the portal. It was the moment he was allowed go through the portal.
It's been months since the 'Reza' incident, and both the Humans and dragons were living in relative coexistence, despite the tension. Humanity continued to send ambassadors and knowledge to the Dragon world, while the Dragons sent technology and their own ambassadors to the Human's.
Humanity's ambassadors were people with skills in public relations, politics, diplomatic relations, with a hint of historian.
Julley was none of these.
He was your average 22 year old, finished with his schooling, and currently working at a hospital. Blue eyes nervously glanced over the portal, as his fingers drummed against his legs. The tension in the air was thick enough to be cut with a knife.
Why did they send him, you may be asking?
Humanity realised, eventually, that through all the political Jargon, diplomatic relations nonsense and outstanding technology, these ambassadors were still withholding information. They've only been telling half the story, what they wanted to hear, twisting and bending it to suit their needs.
What if they sent someone younger, someone not tainted by politics and the agenda of the government, someone different?
That's where our protagonist comes in, standing nervously in front of the portal, waiting for his chance. A commotion was heard behind him, before the large generators powering the portal started, producing a large whirring sound.
The louder the noise, the more wisps of a portal appeared. Soon, the wisps combined, creating an inky blackness, only rivalled by the sun.
"The portal has reached electrical requirements, and there is greens across the board. You may cross the threshold." Announced the director of the portal. Slowly, but surely, Julley stepped forward, before standing at the edge of the portal, waiting anxiously.
"You may cross the thre-" The voice was cut off as a large bang resounded through the area. Julley jolted, before turning around. He wheeled back, gasping in shock.
A large explosion, and subsequent fire, had consumed the entire control center. Charred, blackened pieces of debris littered the ground around Julley, before he turned towards the generators. One of them was missing, blown apart by the force of the explosion. The other was burning, flames cooking the highly explosive source of energy.
Julley recoiled back again, as another explosion tore through the area. The flames blocked off the areas around the portal now, forcing him back. Flames burned dangerously close to his feet. They would soon be able to reach him.
Julley turned around again, staring at the portal. It was slowly shutting down, the blackness getting smaller and smaller. He had to risk it, 'less he be wished to be burnt to a crisp. Without another moments hesitation, he ran towards the portal, diving through.
The area around the portal was savaged by a large explosion and fire last night, destroying the equipment necessary to run the portal and the portal itself. All bodies have been recovered except one. One 'Julley Swatzsky' was reported missing, himself the latest ambassador to the dragon's world. We can only hope he is safe, and not stuck in the dragon's world.
