Julian's Point of View
I was making my way home, after a long and uneventful day. I shivered as I felt the cold wind blow, I looked up to the starry sky and sighed. Who knew at the age of 25, I would wish that something exciting would happen.
I was almost at my doorstep when suddenly a blinding white light appeared beneath my feet, making me close my eyes and yelp as I felt myself getting sucked by the light. I kept my eyes closed as I felt myself falling, "am I going to die?" I asked myself, after uttering a silent prayer. After a few minutes, the feeling of falling suddenly stopped, I slowly opened my eyes and gasped. I looked around and found myself in a dark room with four other people, they looked like they're still in high school and it seems like they were hanging out before this happened. There were two girls and two guys, the girls both started to panic while the guys were trying their best to calm them down.
I may look calm and collected but I am also starting to have my own panic attack. I started to look around trying to find a door or something in the dark room when suddenly someone spoke, "Welcome dear heroes!" The voice said, the voice sounds hoarse and deep, like an old man. I continued to look around to find the owner of that voice but to my dismay I couldn't find him. The room is too dark to walk around, the only thing we have is the light beneath our feet, which looks like a magic circle or some sort. The light was too dim to cover up our surroundings, which is making us more panicked and scared. I can hear scared whimpers behind me, I looked at the teenagers and made my way towards them, and stood in front of them in a protective stance, protecting them from whatever comes our way.
"No need to be wary… " said the voice, as I heard something snap, then suddenly lights illuminated the room, making me and the kids close our eyes because of the sudden brightness. After a few seconds of adjusting my eyes to the sudden light, I asked, "Who are you and where are we?" Nervousness and confusion can be heard in my voice.
A man in a white robe stood forward, "Welcome to Elisia, the world of swords and magic," he said. "I am Gustavus, the royal mage and I was the one who summoned you here." He stated, "may I ask for your names?" He said, as he looked at each one of us.
"My name is Julian Hussein." I said, my voice still shaking. I was still trying to put my thoughts together when suddenly someone grabbed my suit, I looked at the person and saw one of the girls. She looked at me with pleading eyes, it's as if asking me to let her hide behind me for protection. I felt the others move, the boys are now both beside me while the other girl is also hiding behind my back.
After everyone introduced themselves, the man spoke, "Before we begin, I would like you to follow me to the next room, your highness the king wants to meet the great heroes." Ha said, as he turned his back on us and started to walk.
"This is more f****d up than I thought." I heard the boy on my left said.
"More f****d up indeed…"
