I blame the sheep. If we didn't stop to see why a sheep was on the side of the road then we wouldn't have had to start our journey to save the world.
But you probably didn't want to hear me talk right? You want to hear about magic, exploding demons and the cakinator.
What's that? Well...you'll see.

The college student yawned as he reclined in his seat. He looked at the small digits representing his clock and tapped another key on his computer, trying to conjure up a thought about what to write for his paper.
After another minute passed he decided to give up and shut the laptop.
The room was slighty untidy, with scrunched up bedsheets and crumpled clothing strewn across the floor but the clost was neatly arranged and the nightstand had a simple lamp with a skirt. He had intended to take that down after his parents left but just wound up being too lazy to do it.
The student himself was tall and thin with bown hair and eyes. He was pale from late nights on the computer and dressed in simple jeans and a hoodie.
He was surprised as his phone vibradted across the nightstand and its screen lit up from the caller. The student pciked up the phone and opened it.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hey, Shawn." The voice at the other end said. "Just calling because, well, I don't how to say this but there's a sheep in the city."
"Ryan, are you sure you aren't just at the petting zoo, again?" Shawn asked, knowing his friend visited that place often.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Well it's just sheep, right?" Shawn walked over to the window and looked out.
"Yeah, I thought that to until I got closer." Ryan paused. "It's eyes are all messed up and it's...glowing."
"Okay...I believe you." Shawn not believing his friend. "Where are you?"
"By the Pharmasave."
"I'll be right over." Shawn ended the call then rummaged in his pocket for any spare change for the bus.

"You came!" Ryan exclaimed.
He was tall and thin like Shawn but seemed to have just a bit more muscle. He was dressed like Shawn with raven colored hair and sky blue eyes. Clutched in his hand was a Wonderbread package.
"So where is it?" Shawn asked.
"Over there." Ryan gestured to an alleyway surrounded by trash bins and what looked like a pile of newspapers. "I was getting some bread and saw it run into this alley."
"And you decided to follow it?" Shawn questioned.
"Well...yeah, I mean, glowing sheep and all. Why wouldn't I follow it?" Ryan stated.
"I don't know maybe because it's a glowing sheep?"
Ryan looked slightly taken back at this.
"Guess I never thought of that..."
Ryan thought. "Anyway, do you want to go see it?"
'Why not."
Ryan led the way into the alley and Shawn saw the faint glow at the back, where the chain link fence was.
When they got closer the sheep came into focus and Shawn saw what Ryan was talking about. The sheep's eyes were set at odd angles and it's coat did give off a faint glow, other than that it was a sheep.
"Isn't he cute?" Ryan asked.
"Sure. Waht I'm wondering is what's wrong with him. No normal sheep is like that."
"Can we keep him?" Ryan asked, oblivous to his friend's question.
"Keep a sheep?" Shanw stated.
"We'd never have to buy clothes again." Ryan suggested.
"But we don't know how to sew..."
"We could learn?" Ryan countered.
The sheep bleated.
"See? He agrees with me!"
Shawn however wasn't paying attention. "Is that sheep getting brighter?"
"What?" Ryan turned to the sheep.
It did seem to be getting brighter.
"Maybe we should get out of here..." Shawn suggested.
"I don't think that's possible..." Ryan said.
"Why? Do you still want it?"
"No. I can't move." To emthasize this he failed to lift his leg.
"Neither can I..." Shawn realized.
Toghter the duo grabbed thier legs and pulled, as the sheep burned brighter.
It bleated again, just as the light burned their eyes.
"Still want to keep this sheep!?" Shawn shouted.
"Yes!"
"What."
Just then the light engulfed them and when it subsided there was nothing but an empty alleyway.

Slowly consiouness returned and wiht a sudden sense of nausea. This proved to be too much for Shawn and bile quickly made its presence known across the grass he had been resting his head.
"Oh God..."
Shawn frowned.
"Hey, you okay?" Ryan asked.
He offered a hand and Shawn gratefully took it, shakily staning up.
"Where are we?" He looked around.
A small hill was beside them, a pond was on the other hand and growing aorund it were tall reeds. In the distance of the pond was a large pale moutain witha orange sphere hovering above it.
Ryan looked behing them and had to blink.
"Hey, Shawn?"
Shawn came over and looked down.
All that could be seen were clouds. That was it. A giagnatic white fluff-ball that covered the entire ground...or was it the sky?
"What the hell?"
There was a bleat ahead of them and the duo saw the sheep standing underneath a wooden arch.
"You!" Ryan exclaimed, marching up to the sheep. "You have some explaining to do!'
The sheep bleated and shook it's head sending tow small boxes falling to the ground.
"Uh...where did those boxes come from?" Shawn asked.
Ryan picked them up and opend the top. He raised an eyebrow.
"I think this is for you." Ryan tossed him the other box.
Shawn cuaght it and opend it to see something that resembled a bluetooth, except twice the normal size and colored grey with a black button right in the center.
"I don't know if I should be happy thta a sheep kidnapped us to give out free bluetooths." Shawn remarked.
The sheep bleated once more before an arrow sprouted from its neck. A shocked silence followed and then two figures stepped into view.
One was bulky, with green rotting skin and dressed in rags. A zombie. The other was a skeleton, with a inverted traingle painted on its skull. It held the bow that had killed the sheep.
The skelton aimed and Shawn was the first to react.
"Duck!" He cried.
Ryan dove as Shawn scanned the ground for anything to use as a weapon. He spotted a rock and scooped it up.
Ryan rolled just as a arrow sprouted from where he was laying. Shawn threw the rock and it sailed before connecting wiht the skeleton's ribcage and snapping off three ribs.
The skeleton simply nocked another arrow and fired it at Shawn. The zombie still continued moving at its slow pace trying to towards the target was moving. Shawn picked up another rock and threw it, this time hitting the zombie. It too didn't react.
"Oh crap!"
Shawn thought.
Ryan however was trying to find something to fight with and spotted the least likely weapon.
"Better than nothing.."
He thought.
Shawn meanwhile was backed into a corner at the mercy of the two undead monsters.
"Please, somebody help me.."
Shawn thought.
The skeleton nocked an arrow and was about to release the trigger when Wonderbread, wielded by Ryan, connected with the side of its head. The arrow whizzed harmfully over Shawn's head. The skeleton staggered and Shawn tackled it into the ground, while Ryan smacked the zombie with the Wonderbread. Shawn and the skeleton grappled for a moment before Shawn wildily grapped at a space a space beside and after finding what he needed, raised athe rock and caved in the skeleton's skull.
He exhaled and suddenly remebered Ryan. He looked over and saw his friend still smacking the zombie with the Wonderbread. Shawn picked up the fallen Skeleton's bow and arrow, aimed and released the string.
At such a clsoe distance the arrow impaled itself straight into the zombie's head. It let out a pitifull moan before keeling over.
Ryan looked at the body. "Thanks."
"Your welcome."
"So...what now?"
Shawn held up the device.
"Let's try this." He attached it to his ear and tapped the button a few times.
Ryan copied this and was startled as a beeping suddenly started. He tapped the button and a voice began speaking.
"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?" The voice was youthful, but also sounded slightly desperate.
"Yeah." There was a sgh of relief. "Who is this? Where are we?"
"Oh, thank Notch." There was silence for a bit. "Excuse me, where are my manners? I am King Decker, ruler of the Kingdom of the sky."
"Kingdom of the Sky? Where is that?" Ryan asked.
"Shouldn't it be obivous? We are in the sky." Decker stated as if was a basic fact of life, like what's your first name?
"What." Both said at the same moment.
