New Steampunk Grounds - Law of Talos

by The New Cool

Two children in the 8th grade of middle school find a strange raven, only to be lead to a strange portal which takes them to a far away city, outside of the real world... I do NOT own anything of Law of Talos neither the idea of "spooper", who is a character from the game "Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion". I included Spooper here because its a character i connect with deeply.

Lonnie's perspective

I never thought anything like this could ever happen.

Introduction: im lonnie, i guess you could say i'm the "weird kid" of most classes. I'm not very liked, but I'm fortunate enough to have close friends, but enough about me!

It's time to explain how this all started. In 8th grade, I was able to choose my electives, since I wanted to be a marine biologist (and I've had 2 years of agriscience class already,) I decided to try it again. But things would be different, my friend Spooper would be here! Spooper was a supernatural creature that had just come into my life randomly since 3rd grade. Though we started to actually bond in 5th grade. Spooper looked like a kid in a poorly made beige ghost costume, having a beige cover over it. The cover was lengthened to half the calves of its legs. It had pale skin with dark gray shoes that didn't seem to have any specific brand to them. The only way Spooper could possibly communicate was with its eyeholes, which could make angry, neutral, or sad expressions.

Back to the story, it was a normal day and we were doing some boring old work before making a beeline to the back door for land lab time. I always bring my phone with me, incase of anything! The teacher started rambling about her expectations, which me and Spooper did NOT care for. We began to trail near the gates and tree beds, while the other kids did whatever. We walked around for sometime, until we spotted something. It was a raven.. But it had red eyes? ''A bit unusual for a raven to have red eyes.. Isn't it spooper?'' I softly nudged Spooper, getting their attention. Spooper looked at the raven as if it had some sort of familiarity, but the sight-seeing quickly stopped as the raven darted towards the section of the land lab where there was a small garden of flowers surrounding a nearly camouflaged portal at the end part of the path. The raven landed near it,me and Spooper chased after it, thinking it was showing us something, we were proven right. This portal nearly blended in with the ground, if it wasn't flowing wobbly.

Then, the teacher called for us to come inside to get ready for lunch. But we hid behind the garden until they all trailed back inside, leaving us to the portal. ''..i don't think we should do this.. I say we head back.'' I was nervous, most of the time I'd be suspicious around my surroundings. I was turned around and ready to head back, ''lets go spooper.. It's not-'' spooper did not hesitate to canon-ball head first into the portal. ''Ooh boy.. Looks like i've got no choice.. Class can wait!'' I then jumped into the portal.
