I was running like a cheetah. How I got in this situation, I'm not quite sure. The last thing I remember is is some random man towering over me with this evil grin on his face. I stop dead in my tracks. I look back to make sure I'm safe but there's nothing chasing me. "Why was I running?" I say to nothing; but the empty air.
Now that I'm sure I'm safe I look at the scenery around me. There are trees everywhere, so I'd assume I'm in a forest of some sort. It's not like anything I've seen before though. It has a magical aura to it. As I stand there, animals start to come investigate. They're not your normal forest dwellers. There're things I didn't even know existed. Yet,, it still had some similarities between hhere and home. There's an awful lot of crows, which is kind of strange. While I was thinking a small platypus looking thing came up to me. I slowly drop to my knees so I can get a better look at it. and it can climb on me if it wants. It climbed right on to my legs and took an interest in my necklace. Wait a minute,, I've never seen this in my life and that says a lot because I'm a total nerd when it comes to all things animal related. I carefully get up, letting the platypus thing get comfy in my arms.
I start searching around but no one is around. After a bit of time I start to panic. Everywhere I go there's it'sjust more trees. In a panic I start screaming "Where are you? You know an even better question is, where am I?" Suddenly, I hear a huge pop and out of nowhere an elderly man in a cheap suit comes into my view. Before I could say anything in a scruffy voice he states, "I see you've met Willber. He's what yah call a Niffler." While he was saying this, he took a soft but firm grip on my arm. I heard another pop and we were in the city. He let go of my arm and acted like we didn't just disappear from a forest and reappear in the city. "Well Nifflers are attracted to anything shiny, so it gets 'em into a bit of trouble." He stops talking seeing the confused expression on my face. "Yer not from 'round here are yah?" I give him an even more confused "No Sir?" I stated confusedly, scratching the back of my head nervously.
"Oh, where are my manners, me names Belgarath Flagg. You can call me Garth if yah'd like. I work at Magical Misfits. It's a shelter 'fur magical creatures."
"Nice to meet you Garth, my name's Lessie Blois. Wait, did you say magical creatures?" This peaked my interest, did i jut hear him wrong or did he really say 'magical'?
"Um, yeah. 'Yer really not from anywhere around here are yah? 'Yer in the town square of Wacharl, from here you can get to the six different districts. Over there is the portal to soldier district, that's why it's red, the orange one is 'fer the peacekeepers, yellow's 'fer teachers,, green's 'fer all the farmers, bblue's 'fer the storekeepers, and finally the clear's fer gatekeepers. Questions?"
Still confused, all I get out is a "Huh?" Now I'm both really confused but also extremely curious.
Seemingly getting it, he states. "'yer new to magic in general, eh?"
"Yeah." I state getting fed up with him. He starts walking.
"Yah coming er not?", getting the hint I follow him. "Where we're going is the schoolhouse. Yah know, cause you gotta learn somehow. I'm sure yyah'd rather learn this way than not." After some walking, we're at the schoolhouse..
"Have fun.When yer done come back to Magical Misfits an' ask 'fer me." I started to go but he stops me "Willber kinda needs to come with me though." Carefully he grabs Willber, who protests a little until Garth shows him a shiny coin of some type, and leaves.
