"Whoa," Ian said, "you mean to tell me that somehow, we went from our own world, which I was perfectly happy in, into some land from your favorite videogame? That's impossible. And how do you know we are in the same videogame your thinking of?"

'That road sign over there behind you. And if the other world were perfect for you, you wouldn't be standing here right now." Chase said, and pointed to a sign behind the entire group that read,

EAST- CYRIL 25 MILES

WEST- SPROHM 14 MILES

NORTHWEST- BAGUBA PORT 29 MILES

NORTHEAST- MUSCADET 31 MILES

"Oh…. Ok, but that's still kinda hard to believe." Josh spoke up. He was wearing archer's wrist guards, a loose brown shirt, and light pants. He had a quiver full of arrows slung over one shoulder, and a longbow in his hands.

"Well, he's the only one with some sort of idea of what to do and where we are, so I say go with it." Ange told the group. She had on a Robe similar to the one Lara had on, but hers was white with red hems, and she had a curved staff in her hands.

"Fine, fine, fine," Ian said hurriedly, "but how did we get here?" He was clad in a heavy suit of plate mail, which went from top to bottom, and a helmet that went down the bridge of his nose, and a long spear in his hand.

"My guess is this." Chase said and held up the book. "I opened it, passed out, and woke up here. Lara said she found it, where she found me"

"Let me get this straight, " Shorty said, "you opened an old crusty book, and you changed the world? That sounds cool."

"Not just me, but all of us. You're all here with me, unharmed, and undamaged. That means you had to want it just as much as I did. There's something here for all of you, we just have to find it." Chase said.

"So we have a magic book, new and improved clothes, pointy weapons, magic spells, and a foreign land that only you've heard of, all because you wanted it to happen?" Lara asked skeptically.

"Because WE wanted it to happen, and yes." Chase told them all.

"So tell me something Chase," Ange wanted to know, "What the hell are we?"

"Well, job wise, you look like a white mage, Josh appears to be an archer, Ian's a dragoon, Lara seems to be a black mage, Shorty's a thief, and I guess that leaves me with soldier. Chase told the group.

"Ahhh, now what does it all mean?" Ange asked.

"What I'm guessing, is it's what are souls are." Chase began, "You, Ange, are classified as a mage. That means, you have a strongermind than those of us who aren't mages. Since you're a white mage, you have a powerful soul, and a great distaste for swords right now. It'll be your job to heel any wounds we get in a battle. You're squeamish, so you'll want it done fast. That's a good thing. Am I right, or am I right?"

"That's all true, but I'm not sure how you knew all of that. How DID you know all of that?" She said.

"I'll explain later, but for now, who else wants a body and soul examination?" Chase asked the group.

'Oh! Oh! I do! I do!" Lara exclaimed, jumping up and down.

"You're the same as Ange, almost. You're a mage, but you're a black mage. This means your body is just as strong as ours, maybe even stronger, but your will is stronger than your body, and your emotions are more destructive than most peoples are. You'll have to learn to become more separate from your emotions so you don't blow us all to hell and back."

"Huh?" Lara asked, confused.

"Stay calm, stupid." Josh said.

"Oh hell no. You did not just call me stupid you little dumbshit." Lara raged as the air around her began to heat up and glow red with a crackling sound like a campfire.

"Lara!" Chase yelled. "Calm down or you'll burn him to a crisp."

"Huh?" She asked, "I didn't do anything though."

"You don't have to. Since you're a black mage, you have control over three basic elements, Fire, lightning and Ice. Those are all controlled by your feelings and when you feel a strong emotion, it'll set lose a mage spell on whomever you felt it towards." Chase explained.

"Oh, well, how can I do all of this?" She asked.

"You know those little weapons we all ended up with? Well, you see, those each have a special ability that you can do with those weapons. Eventually, none of us will need to have the weapons on hand to do what they allow us to do, but for now, we still do." Chase continued explaining.

"So what supernatural power do I get from this little piece of pointy metal?" Shorty wanted to know.

"Well, since that's only a basic weapon, you can steal cash. It's easier for you now." He said.

"Ah, ok. That sounds fun" She replied

"Question oh all-knowing teacher." Ian said

"Answer oh little-knowing child." Chase replied

"How the hell do you know any of this?" Ian asked.

"Because I am God." Chase said flatly. "No, not really, but I just wanted to see your reaction. It was funny. But seriously, The book made this world based on what I wanted, with whatever you guys wanted as well, so, if I'm the one whose wishes brought this world into existence, what I know about the game is true, and that's what I know about it. Your faces were priceless. I just wish I had a camera." And he started to laugh.

Finally, no more explanations for a while. They take up too much time. And this chapter took forever to type because my parents never left me alone. It was very frustrating
