*Chapter 1*
"And... they're off," yelled the announcer at the start of the Breeders Cup Classic.
Gabe, in her gold and blue racing silks, and Dreamer, as he was commonly called, were off to a great start. They were comfortably riding in 5th as they rounded the first bend. Then it happened. Kryptonite began to pass her on the outside when his stride faltered, causing him to crash into Dreamer's side! Dreamer then cashed through the rail. Gabe was sent soaring over Dreamer's head. She then hit the ground with a sickening thud, as the crowd gasped with shock as she disappeared into thin air.

"Come on Kel, the Stump is going to slaughter us if we don't get this area mapped," Neal called up to his best friend Keladry of Mindelan. Both were squires in their second year.
"Hold on, I think I see something. Yup, I do. It looks kind of like a person wearing... gold and blue something's."
"Well, let's go check it out," Neal said.
When they got there they saw that it was indeed a person. A girl, it looked like. She was wearing blue and gold silk breeches and a shirt of the same colors, she also had a strange looking hat on her head that looked quite hard indeed. Kel and Neal approached cautiously. When they were about ten feet away the girl groaned and shoved the helmet from her head. She then attempted to get up and almost succeeded, then collapsed to the ground.
"Excuse me," began Kel, ever polite," But who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, you startled me. I'm Gabrielle Brophy but, please, call me Gabe unless you have a death wish." Replied Gabe, she then smiled sweetly," But who are you?"
"My name is Keladry of Mindelan, and this is Nealean of Queenscove, but everyone calls us-"
"Kel and Neal," finished Gabe looking suddenly pale," but, I thought. This is SO not happening."
"yes, that's us- but how did you know?"
"There are books about you where I come from. You don't know anyone named, oh gosh, Alanna, Daine, Cleon, Jon, George, Numair, Raoul, Gary- Gareth of Naxen-, Thayet, or, Duke Baird, would you by any chance?"
"Who's Jon," questioned Kel.
"Jonathon of Conte," Gabe said as if it should be obvious.
"Yes, we know all of them," Neal cut in.
"This is too bizarre," said Gabe, almost to herself.
