Lina Inverse held a thinned, yellowed sheet of paper in her hands. Lina and her two companions Gourry and Amilia had been looking for powerful spells to master. As luck would have it, they stumbled upon a bandit gang that just happend to have a very old spell that they had stollen from a sorcerers spell book. Lina had "negotiated" with the bandits (meaning she fireballed them into oblivion), then took the spell for her self. As the last rays of light slowly fade from the sky, Lina gives into the curiosity that had been eating away at her resolve. Sneaking away from the campfire, she quietly scurried to the nearest clearing. Here, she recited the spell:
"like a silver beacon,
on an endless night,
summon thee, travelers of time,
guid me through my journey,
and bridge the gap between our worlds!
TIME VORTEX!"
The sky darkened as a black tornado decended from the swirling darkness of the sky. As it touched down, there was a blinding flash of light. the last thing Lina remembered before closing here eyes was the soft thud of things landing around her and the pail white faces of the many strange people seemingly asleep around here.

Tohru Honda sat guiltily in her bed while Hatori tightly bandaged both of her ankles, her left hand, and here head. Since Shigure had been at a novelist convention, Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo had decided it would be the perfect time to have some friends over for dinner. They had asked Arisa and Saki to join them as well as Hatsuharu, Momiji, and Kisa. Hatori, who was watching Momiji at the time, decided he would take advantage of Shigures absence and came aswell. He was very glad he did. As soon as all of the guests arrived, Tohru thought it would be a good time to start making everyones dinner. However, when Tohru was walking down the stairs, there was a loud and unexpected clap of thunder that shook her to her very core. Tohru slipped and tumbled down the stairs landing face first on the ground. "I am so sorry!" cried Tohru for at least the sixth time, "I was supposed to make dinner for everyone!". "It is alright," soothed Hatori, "Everyone is just glad you are safe. everyone noded their heads in agreement. Tohru has had injuries before, but nun of them had ever been close to this bad before. "Sissy, we just want you to get better" Kisa said, trying very hard to comfort Tohru. Just then the lights flicker off and everyone jumps as another loud, defening clap of thunder shakes the dark, swirling sky. A few members of the group race to the window just as a raging, black tornado rips through the wall. And, with a bright flash of lightning, they are gone. With the wind from another world. Leaving only one of Tohrus yellow bunny slippers behind.
