It was a cold and windswept day, desolate and empty. None to comfort her but the one thing she had left. A cracked up photo of her once happy family, now only to be remembered in this perilous world.

Ellie thought of how her parents had saved her,( only just mind you ), from a terrible bomb, thrown down by the Russian plane as it soared by. She sat alone on all that was left of the whole city, everyone except her was dead, she was bruised and was in no condition to walk anywhere. So she sat down and tried to cry. But she had found she couldn't. So there she sat and waited until…

CRACK! A blue and purple swirling portal opened and she was dragged in!

Ellie found herself alive but bruised and headachy strewn on the wooden porch of a small cabin. Eight friendly faces stared down at her, the four of them who wore all green and grey had beards, one pepper and salt grey, another reddish and two more were brown with only a couple of grey hair here and there. Another man had a cheerful face, clean-shaven and with light brown hair that was pulled neatly back by a small golden circlet. The woman who was standing next to him had the same circle but had blonde hair and a dress of elegant purple. The two other girls were blonde too, but they wore a simple white and blue gown with daggers at their side.

"Wassa-happenin" Ellie slurred in a bleary voice. She was obviously tired and spent. The oldest blonde (and in Ellie's opinion the prettiest) picked her up and brought her inside the small cabin, she promptly laid her down on the couch and sat next to Ellie and crooned softly,

"There there, it's ok, just rest." and then she whispered to the younger copy of her,

"Alyss, could you get me a Wills healer's kit, I assume you know where it is?" the tall girl nodded and went to her bidding. Then Ellie Blacked-out and knew no more.
