Prologue
By Amythest Stone
AN- After much bugging from Arianna san, and much deliberation among else things, I finally got two pages of this written. This is not a good sign folks. The plot is completely different and it is based around the Fantastic Four. For all of those who HAVE NOT re read the end of 'Know the Knikanna' it has been changed. Dameon is dead. Sorry.
^_^ Well, enjoy this. I know it seems rather plot less right now but it will get faster as I move on. Hopefully at least. I'm trying! *ducks a tomato* really!

April was fiddling with the silver mirror in her hands. Jalil was engrossed in the map before him, trying to make sense of it. David was ordering food. And as for me; I was asleep. Or mostly so.
"Wake up, Chris," April said, shaking my shoulder. "We're gonna be eating soon, and after that we've gotta leave."
"Weave me awone," I muttered into my arms. "'m tiwed." I heard her sigh with exasperation and her hand left my shoulder.
It was too damn early to be up. Only seven in the morning. I had a right to be exhausted. That and running from the police the night before. It all builds up.
"Be careful with that mirror, April," Jalil said. His voice was almost cheerful. How could Mr. Cynical be so cheerful this early in the morning! "We don't want to be stuck here. How would we manage to explain our reappearance to the police and our parents?" Something was wrong. He was happy. I was tired and not in a joking mood. Maybe we should let him get less sleep more often.
"Have you figured out anymore of the map?" I heard April place the mirror on the table as she asked the question.
"Yes, I know where we're going too! But I would like to say it when everyone's here. Physically and mentally, Chris." Jalil was too cheerful. Where is Galahad's Sword when you need it?

Everworld. That little place between the wall and your bed that you never clean but when you finally do you don't know what you are going to find. That is simply this fine little place in a nutshell.
We've seen everything. And when I say that, I mean it. From gods to goddesses to Vikings and Egytians. The old world just seems so boring after all we've been through. Though a McDonalds bathroom can give old Everworld a run for its money, I don't think anything's quite the same.
I'm not a search and rescue type of person. Unless it's a beautiful damsel in distress, that's something I can do. Anything else, once a lifetime thank you. But, I have been guilted into one and something just as dangerous in the past month. First, rescuing gods from a god, not one of my most intelligent endeavors. And of course what we are doing now. Destroying Ka Anor.
Athena will be the next one to die when I go on my death rampage with Galahad's Sword. She came up with the idea, that damned goddess of wisdom. She knew how to get rid of Ka Anor. Cut him out, she said. Take him out of the plans for Everworld she said. He had to have written himself in she said. If we cut him out, then he would simply disappear she said.
I don't care much for what she said. I care about getting at least ten hours of sleep a night. Currently, I'm seven short.
So the freaking goddess of freaking wisdom sent us to Real World with a freaking mirror with explicit instructions on what to do. Interestingly enough, we appeared right in the middle of the cafeteria at our old school. The police are very hard to run from even when you've got a magic mirror.
That's my life currently in a nutshell. Welcome to Everworld.

David nudged me, forcing me to sit up then placed the plate of fake eggs and sausage in front of me. Of course, there was pancakes and fake butter as well. Fake food. You don't get that in Everworld.
I fumbled with a fork and managed to get the right end into the food and the food into my mouth. One bite. Good job Chris.
"So, what do you know?" David asked Jalil, obviously wanting to get back to Everworld. He was nervous and fidgety. He didn't have his sword. Poor David.
"Well." Jalil chewed thoughtfully on his food. "We're only half way away from where we need to go."
"That's good!" April exclaimed, "How much further?"
Jalil grinned and shrugged. "Well, half way around the world? Japan? I'd say about a seventeen hour plane ride."
I dropped my fork half way up to my mouth. This day was really starting off on the wrong foot.

Yeah.Prologue...Chapter One will be up whenever I can manage. I was stupid enough to get four stories going at once. lol. This is one of my main projects however so be glad. I expect a week between chapters, between school and homework and everything! R/R
