It was a foggy September morning, it was the weekend and Landon had school all week. Landon lived in a small town in the middle of Nebraska. He lived in a big ranch house in the middle of the woods. When Landon was looking for something to do, he would stroll through the woods drawing pictures of the landscape. This morning Landon decided it would be a good morning to go for a walk in the woods. As he was searching for a good landscape to draw, he noticed a weird colorful wall in the distant trees.

As Landon approached the wall he connected to movies he had seen, realizing it was a portal of some sort. The portal was about 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide, about the side of a doorway. The portal portrayed a whirl of shades of green. Landon left his notebook at the foot of a nearby tree and walked into the portal. After a few brief moments of blackness, Landon appeared in the same forest, but everything was black and orange instead of brown and green. He noticed an odd looking creature, that appeared to be the mix of a dog and a dragon. To his avail the dog spoke to him, ” Who goes there?”

“My name is Landon… w-w-where am I?” asked Landon

“Why you are in Thalor, the land of the flying.” exclaimed the creature.

The creature took Landon through the land and introduced him to other creatures. Landon and the creature spent the entire day together and became really good friends, one of Landon’s only friends. While they were walking back toward the portal the dog told Landon that this was the last day the portal would be open. This forced Landon to make a huge decision… He would have to decide if he was going to stay in the alternate world or go back to his lonely lifestyle. To be continued…
