The first thing I had to do was to find the ancient portal that would take me to the other world. I didn't know where to start. I tried going to the village library. I looked for ancient legends that told of mystical portals that led to dimensions of darkness and gloom. My search was not in vain. For I discovered a book that seemed to be avoided by so many people for so long that the dust hidden cover was unreadable at first. I immediately wiped the dust off to see what the book revealed. To my surprise, it was an ancient encyclopedia full of mythical maps to places never visited by the average human.
But now I was faced with the problem of how I might sneak the book out. Since I was not a resident of the town I could not just walk out with it. And being a small village, the librarian would recognize me immediately. She was sitting beside the door and the only other thing that I could think of was to hide the book under my coat. But soon I discovered that doing so was extremely obvious, for the book was quite large and was not easily concealed. So I began to search my mind for another way of escape. As I looked around me, I saw a small, but opened window. I could have never fit but it occurred to me that I could slip the book through and go out and around with no suspense from the librarian. So I did so immediately.
When I got around to the back, I picked up the book and was on my way back to the forest to be alone and search the book when a large husky man yelled at me to stop. I was startled and the first thing that came to my mind was to run. The man must have seen what I had done, for now he had a league of horses after me. I had always been a fast runner, but the book, being quite heavy, slowed me down. I had to think of something to do fast. As I passed another house, I saw piles of straw every where. With the horses still being a ways back, I turned the corner and hid the book under one of the piles of straw. I would come back later when I was not being searched.
Now I had to search for a way to deliver myself to safety. I quickly lost him after turning a few corners, but I wasn't about to stick around so he could find me. I walked deep into the forest and camped myself into a tall tree. Should the man search the forest, I did not want to be found on the ground.
Before I knew it, I had fallen deep into sleep. When I woke there stood what looked like Princess Zelda. I couldn't believe my eyes. How could this be? But suddenly she began to transform into a fierce wild beast. The beast threw out fire from its mouth and was nearly as tall as the tree. I climbed down the tree and ran from it. I couldn't imagine where it had come from and how it had transformed. As I ran deeper into the forest, I stumbled upon a root and fell over a small cliff. I screamed but nothing was going to stop me from falling now. As I was about to hit the ground, I realized it was water, and held my breath.
I plunged into a large lake. When I came up, I saw before me a massive cave opening. I immediately swam as fast as I could toward it. When I was out of the water, I walked into the cave. The cave seemed to have a glow of its own. Then I realized that the glow was coming from a ledge about fifteen feet from the ground. I quickly searched for a way to get upon this ledge. Then I saw what seemed to be a fallen pillar lying on the ledge. I quickly shimmied my way up the pillar. When I got to the top I noticed one large opening and two smaller openings. One going to the left and one going to the right.
I tried to decide which one to go down. The large one had a glow and the one to the right had a glow also. It seemed to obvious to go down the large one, and slightly to obvious to go down the dimly lit one to my left. So I crawled down the tunnel to my right. I crawled for what seemed like hours when finally I was in another dimly lit room. I was on a ledge though, so I just jumped down. The fall being further than I thought, I broke something when I hit the ground. I didn't feel much pain, I just couldn't walk.
When I finally looked up in front of me, I was in a round room with shining portals on every side. I walked up to one to see what the sign next to each portal said, but it must have been in another language because I couldn't read it. I thought now as good a time to save the princess, so I tried my luck and stepped into the portal nearest to me. When I stepped in suddenly I was falling. I thought that I might be falling forever, but then I saw the ground. I couldn't believe that it was over after being so close.
