I trudge home from school. Today was very meh. I am remembering the incident with the spelling bee question that I almost got wrong when a woman seems to appear in front of me.

"Hello, Mira. I am Eva." She's creepy but kind of in a good way. My mouth opens almost against my will.

"Who are you, how do you know my name, and how did you get here?"

"Well-" I get angry. She isn't answering my questions. Then she is.

"My name is Eva, I come from the Mythical Realm, and I have a weird habit of cutting spaghetti with a knife." She looks surprised. "You- you have words." 

Alliya~

I tumble out of bed in our small, three-room house. 

"Ouch..." I said to myself, standing up.

Today was the day I was going to go to the Mythical Realm, I remembered. No more evil step-parents or annoying sisters! I began packing hurriedly, shoving stuff in my small travel bag. Luckily, my step father hadn't woken up yet, so I could escape quickly. Quietly shutting the door of the house behind me, I ran into the woods. 

Reaching where Eva told me to wait, I looked around for any possible portals that would lead to the Mythical Realm.

"You actually came," Eva said. "I'm pretty surprised!"

I shrugged. "Ok, on to the Mythical Realm!"

“So, where do you want to go?” I ask Zelda. Zelda shrugs. 

“I don’t know. You’re the one who wanted to go out of the school.”

“How about the ice cream place? We’re the only town in Likminan that has that new invention!”

”But it costs twenty shillings, though. No way we can afford that!”

”How about the woods?”

”Sure, why not?”

With that settled, me and Zelda race for the woods. I get there first, crossing the plaza in leaps and bounds. Zelda rushes ahead of me and settles on a tall tree. She yells down to me,“Check this out! Bird eggs!” I jump up, higher then I ever have before. I grab onto a limb and admire the brown-speckled eggs- but then I hear a gasp. Startled, I let go of the tree and fall down, landing in a sprawled heap and skinning my knee. “Ow!” I complain. Remembering the gasp, I look around. A (is my description of Eva ok?This is just how I imagine her) tall woman with light brown skin and brown hair in a braid curled around the top of her head is standing staring at me. WTD? (Medieval swear- what the devil?) 

I wave awkwardly. “Hi, what’s up?”

”I don’t like this,” Zelda whispers. “There’s something off about them.” I back away. I find it best to trust Zelda’s instincts.

“Sky,” the woman says, “jump.”

I stare at her. “What?”

”Jump.” she repeats. “As high as you can.”

I shrug, and push off, aiming for the top of the tree. I make it, and do a inward cheer. This is the best I’ve ever jumped, going way beyond parkour skills.

“This confirms it,” she says. “You’re magic, Sky. Too magic for this world. You need to go to the mythical realm.”

”Can Zelda come?” I ask. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around magic and mythical realm, but I try not to show it. 

The woman shakes her head. “No, but you can visit each other. My name’s Eva, by the way.”

”VISIT?” I yell. “I’m going to LIVE in this realmical myth place? What about my mom? My dad? My sister?”

Eva sighs. “Sky, they aren’t your real family. Your real family turned on you when they figured out you had power. This family will turn on you too. Trust me.” A hint of an old anger glimmers in her eyes. “Magic cannot coexist with the real world. That’s just the way it is.”

”Does it have to be?” I ask.

Eva says forcefully, “Yes. Let’s go.” Before I can protest, she creates a golden ring out of thin air, leading to a different forest- a bright and beautiful one. She pushes me through. I land with a thud in a world humming with magic.

So, I was thinking that instead of an antagonist the goal could be to get the Mythical and regular realms to be at peace with each other. What do you think?
