When next I woke up, the morning sun was shining so brightly into my small bedchamber that it was hard for me to open my tired eyes. Once I managed that, I let out a big yawn and then turned over to my other side, my mind now back to what had happened last night. “Grandfather Kenjiro,” I said under my breath, smiling. My heart swelled with a sense of accomplishment. Finally, I had managed to get in contact with a family member, my grandfather, from the other side. After this, he’d be able to send a message to my parents to tell them that I was here in the Aurora Realm and doing just fine, which undoubtedly would both set them at ease as well as freak them out. I mean, their daughter had been magically transported to another realm, after all. What parents wouldn’t be freaked out by that?
