~*More Magic*~

Adriane, Emily, Kara and friends stood in the portal field. They were scheduled to go to Aldenmore to see Zach. "Kara!" "Call the dragonflies!" Adriane commanded. "No!" "We can open the portal ourselves!" Kara retorted. "C'mon Kara!" Emily pleaded. "We really need to get to Aldenmore!" "Zach might think that we got into the wrong portal!" Emily tried. "Oh fine!" Kara said glumly. "But next time we do it my way!" She said, grinning. "D-Flies!" "Come out, come-out wherever you are!" Kara called. 'Pop!' 'Pop!' 'Pop!' Little beautifully colored dragonflies popped out of the air, standing out against the grass of the meadow. "Ok!" "Now, Ke-ke needs you to open the portal for us!" "So! Start spinning!" The tiny dragons linked their tiny claws and started spinning at a rapid pace. A black hole started forming, first tiny, like a cereal bowl, then bigger, then finally it was big enough for them to get through. Adriane held her wolf stone up and drew a circle with it in the air. A bubble formed tight around Emily, Kara, and Adriane. "Bye! Ozzie!" Emily called. "See ya Lyra!" Kara yelled through the thin bubble. Emily and Adriane lifted the bubble off the ground and towards the portal.

Inside the portal was like being in space. Twinkling stars and dots and portals shone all over the walls and Unicorns stood at guard on some portals, obviously leading to off-limit areas. Adriane and Emily drove the bubble towards the nexus that held the portal to Aldenmore. "This way." Adriane said, directing the bubble to the right, towards an open nexus. "No!" Kara said. "I have a good memory!" "The nexus is that way!" Kara raged, pointing her wrist towards the left. Magically, her horn lifted off her chest and rose to where she was pointing. The bubble zoomed into the nexus that Kara pointed to. "So you can drive this!" "Or else it 'responds' to you." Adriane said sarcastically. "I didn't know!" Kara stormed. "Hey!" Emily said. "HEY! ADRIANE! KARA!" Emily yelled, louder than she had intended, "We're gonna..." They raced through the portal in front of them, due to the fact that Kara had been flapping her arms furiously and pointed in that direction.

"Now look what you've done!" Emily said. "We don't even know where we are!" Emily said, gesturing around. "It doesn't look that harmful." Adriane said. "Well, at least I didn't direct you into a dangerous place!" Kara said. "We don't know if this place is safe!" Adriane said. "She's right Kara, we have no clue what or where we are." Emily said. "It must be somewhat magical though." Emily said. "I know, I know," Kara said, "Magic attracts magic." She finished. "We wouldn't land here if there wasn't any magic." Emily said. "Our stones!" Adriane exclaimed. "They're glowing!" "Well, then that means that there is definitely magic around here." Adriane struck a fighting stance. "I think we're safe right now." "Nothing's bothering us." Emily commented. Kara, Adriane, and Emily all examined the grounds. A giant but old looking castle loomed above them. Greenhouses were located off a path a sign said, and flying lessons and care of magical creatures down other paths. Two extremely large double doors at the front looked harmless in the morning sunlight. A hut off to the side had smoke coming out of the chimney. Two figures were inside. Kara, Emily, and Adriane were in a world they would come to love, not want to leave, and they were just starting out on a great adventure, that could end at any given moment. They would find that here, they aren't so unordinary, or uncommon. They wouldn't blend in though either. They would stick out. Where were they?
