Lora is just a high school teen, coming up on her seventeenth birthday. she is happy with her simple life with her two best friends and her art. Her only concern is a high school jock named Derek, who has his eyes on her, and makes her oddly angry when every time she's around him. Then, when a fight breaks out at school, Lora's entire world is flipped upside down. She suddenly finds herself in a beautiful magical world named Derina, the source of many folk lore and myths, elves, fay, centaurs, dwarves, and many more lost with time in human history. What happens when she realizes she was not only born in this world, but that she is the only one who can save it from the daemon that have sent the world into an endless winter? what happens when her love for an elf jeopardizes everything?

This story is a Continuation of the classic Edgar Allen Poe short story, The Cask of Amontillado. if you have ever wondered what happened after the ending of the classic tale, or why the story happened the way it did, this short addition is for you. why did Montresor leave Fortunato to die? what happened after Fortunato is left in his tomb? *disclaimer* this story is my interpretation of what happened after the original stories ends. this short story will not make sense if you have not read Edgar Allen Poe's original cask of amontillado story. i hope you enjoy the story!
