“What am I doing here?” I asked.
“What is this place?”

The figure only smiled and beckoned, moving away. I followed it, having nowhere else to go. I continued my line of questioning.

“Who’s going to feed Fluffy while I’m gone?”
“I had a date with Marsha!”

The figure ignored me and continued moving towards the city gates. I, realizing my questions were not going to be answered, huffily followed.

When we reached the city gates, the figure melted through the gates and was gone, leaving me stranded, just outside of the city. I collapsed, sobbing, on the ground in fear and frustration. As I did so, another figure appeared in front of me. It was identical, but there was just something wrong about this one that was not in the other one.

A portal opened next to the figure, and it stepped through, beckoning as if to say “Come! This way to Avalon!”

I followed the figure through the portal. As I stepped through, my mouth opened in suprise.
