"Now that you and your friends are ready, it is time to move on to the next step to defeat the darkness on the shadow isles."

After hearing this, I woke up. I noticed I was no longer in my room though. The scenery had completely changed. I slow rose from my bed and grabbed my glasses which were conveniently placed on an ornately decorated nightstand. I continued looking around the room, and I found a chest with a set of clothes for me to wear for today. The style was sort of a mixture of modern and medieval clothing, but at least they were pretty comfortable.

The sun shined brightly through the stained glass window, the bright colors were reflected upon the bedroom floor. I walked out of the bedroom only to find a hallway with a bunch of other rooms.

"I must be in some sort of inn," I told myself.

A door opened, and Hannah stepped out of the door and yawned.

"Good Morning, Hannah," I said.

"Waaaaaah, how did you..."she replied, startled by my sudden appearance.

"Get here," I completed her sentence, "I don't know."

"Totally unexpected."

"I figured. Seeing you here was pretty unexpected either."

"Well, what do we do now?"

"I honestly don't know."

Suddenly, Dan burst open from the door in between Hannah and I. His head was covered with his shirt, and he tripped and fell onto the wooden floor.

"Dang it, shirt why you no fit?!" He exclaimed.

"Dan, it's just a shirt, how hard is it to even put on." I replied.

"It can be very hard," he replied sarcastically, he finally managed to put his shirt on, "oh, and hi, Hannah."

"Let's try and go downstairs, maybe there might be more for us to do."

We waited for Hannah to get completely ready, and then we headed down the hallway. At the end of the hallway was a flight of stairs that led down to the lobby level. When we reached the lobby we were greeted by a host of unfamiliar faces. The man working at the front desk called the three of us over. He first asked for our names and some form of identification.

"Um let me see," I told him. I pulled out my wallet and showed him my driver's license, but he said that was not valid ID in this world. I thought for a second, and pulled out my Mercury Hammer keychain.

"That will do," the man replied. Hannah pulled out her fox bracelet and Dan pulled out the rifle keychain, and the man approved all of them. "Ok, now that I know who you are, I have some packages for the three of you." He pulled out three backpacks. In the three backpacks was enough supplies for one day's journey. "One of Soraka's apprentices came over today to drop a bunch of these off for you."

"Did you see anyone else today that had to be given one of these backpacks?" I asked.

"Um yes. He was taller, and presented boxing gloves as identification."

"Josh?"

"Yeah that's him."

"Do you know where he could be?"

"Probably on his way to Soraka's Mystic Hut, I was given instructions to send you guys there." He said. He immediately pulled out a map which denoted the location of Soraka's house in the middle of the countryside. It was roughly 20 miles outside the city of Piltover.

"I guess we'll be off then," I said.

Within an hour we were out of the city and onto the trail that lead towards Soraka's Shack. Off in the distance we saw another figure slowly treading along the trail. He lugged behind him a bunch of other useless objects stuffed in a huge mobile case.

"Hey! Do you need help," I called.

"No!" The voice said. We walked closer, and it appeared to be Josh.

"Wow dude, how much stuff did you buy at the market?" I asked.

"Too much I guess," he replied.

"I think you should probably drop some of that stuff, Mr. Moneybags, we are not going to carry that over the next 15 miles we have of this trip."

"Are you serious, its only been 5 miles, it seemed like 50 carrying all of this."

I put my palm to my face and said, "backpacking noob, why do you do this to yourself."

"Fine, sheesh." Josh then proceeded to open up the large case that he lugged with him, and then we sold most of the stuff to a couple of other travelers on the road. Along the way we even found a caravan, and exchanged more of Josh's souvenirs for horses for each of us.

"Holy crap, Josh, how much money did you have on you, we even bought four horses with the stuff you bought," Hannah said with a surprised look on her face. We all agreed that none of us knew how Josh always had so much money on him, but we continued to move on.

By nightfall, thanks to the horses having cut down half a day's worth of walking, We were only a couple of miles away from Soraka's hut. The skies of Valoran were marvelous and clear, in comparison to the mostly cloudy skies back at home. We all laid down on tall grass and watched the stars for a couple of hours.

"If only our home was like this," I said.

"Minus no plumbing and all sorts of old era problems like that," Daniel said.

"Yeah that would be nice," I replied, "Josh what do you think?" Then we turned to our left and saw Josh fast asleep already. "Um, never mind then. How about you, Hannah?

"I think it's wonderful too," she replied. A gust of wind gently blew across the field we all laid down in. Soon sleep overtook us like a thief, and then it was morning.

I woke up first, or at least I thought I woke up first. I was astonished to find Daniel laying on top of me, and then Josh decided to toss himself on top of me too.

"Ugh, you guys, why would you do this to me," I squeezed out with whatever breath I have left. While all this ruckus was happening, Hannah was still soundly asleep.

"Jeez, she's a heavy sleeper," Daniel stated, "Josh, you wake her up."

"Why do I have to wake her up," Josh asked furiously.

"Because you crushed me right after I body slammed Thomas."

"Also, I have to prep breakfast because, I know the rest of you can't cook," I said, "and she'll probably be super pissed if you were the one to wake her up." Daniel and I snickered, and then went on with our business.

Josh walked over to Hannah, and tapped her on the shoulder. She barely noticed anything. Then, Josh shook her a bit, she moaned, but then went back to sleep. Josh shook her more violently this time, and yelled, "Hannah! Wake up!" This time, Hannah jumped and shrieked. to her feet, surprised to see Josh, and then she threw her fist back and punched Josh right on the nose. Josh fell back from the unexpected power of her punch, he uncovered his nose and it was profusely bleeding.

"God, Hannah, what's up with you? I think you broke my nose," Josh said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Josh, I thought you were some stranger or something, that's just how my dream ended. I was being attacked by this weird stranger person."

"Ok," he said sarcastically, "Dan help me out here." Dan quickly ran over, and laughed at Josh.

"I knew something like this would happen," he said chuckling, "Hey, Thomas get over here." I quickly ran over there and laughed too, and then went back to cooking breakfast.

"You guys are so immature," Josh said. He was trying stop the bleeding by using his hand to cover up his nose. Daniel quickly got Josh's bag and pulled out a rag for him to cover up his nose and stop the bleeding. By then, I finished cooking breakfast, we quickly sat down, ate, and cleaned up camp, then moved on down to the trail.

Within a couple of hours, we had reached Soraka's Mystic Shack which was really no shack at all, but a very ostentatiously decorated house in the middle of the forest. The door opened and we were all welcomed into the house. When we walked in, the door closed behind us, and we finally got to see the Wish Granter herself, Soraka.

Soraka saw Josh's broken nose and quickly healed it with a flick of her staff.

"Thank you," Josh said.

"It's no problem, now we'll have to wait for the rest of your group to come over," Soraka said, "but here is why I called you here."
