Magic Realm- It's the start.

Magic Realm

I should have known something was wrong when the message on the screen came up. Who in their right mind would click yes to a message like that. Oh that's right, me. I swear sometimes I'm so stupid I surprise myself. But I still clicked yes, that's all there is to it. Its my fault and mine alone. But what happened after I clicked it was never my intention, ok? Sitting in my room logging on to my favorite game Magic Realm on my computer I thought it was going to be the same as any other Friday. I would stay online till ten, have dinner and go to sleep, God was I wrong. As I waited for it to load a message came up on the screen.

Would you like to live the life of your avatar? Take their place in Magic Realm? Would you like to go to Magic Realm for real? Be the hero for once in your life?

Yes                              No

I read it twice. What was that about? I figured if it was something bad I could just turn my computer off. So I clicked yes. I regretted it instantly. The screen froze. Suddenly it began to glow a piercing white. The light became bigger and brighter until I was covered in a blinding white light. I screamed as loud as I could as I was pulled into the computer. It all suddenly went black. When I next opened my eyes I wished I hadn't.

It was dusk I could already see a few stars in the clear sky. But there were two moons, a red one and a pale yellow one. I was laying on green grass. I sat up and saw I was at the edge of a forest and there was a village close. There was a lake to my right. I walked over and looked down at my reflection. My head was full of questions. Where was I? What had happened?

My brown hair was tied in a plait round the base of my head, a few strands hanged over my pale face and green eyes which seemed to be lit up. I was dressed in a pair of black leggings to my knees, a black top with sleeves to my elbows and dark brown lace up boots. My shins, left shoulder and chest were covered in plain silver armour black scabbard containing a silver sword. I had an ankle length blue cape on. I looked around once more and shivered, I knew where I was. I was in Magic Realm and I was my avatar Tigereye. The message had actually sent me there. But that was impossible. 

I couldn't understand how it had happened. I remembered clicking on the message, the light and black nothingness. Was I dead? Maybe it made more sense then being sucked into a video game. I could feel my heart beating uncontrollably as fear built up inside of me. I screamed shaking. I walked towards the town. Maybe if I could figure out where I was, I could figure out what to do.

As I walked through the town full of wooden buildings I hardly saw anyone.I still never let my guard down. If I knew anything about the game it was that it attacked you when you least expected it. It was begging to worry me. This place normally had a waiting list to log on it was that popular. But there was no one around and definitely no one who looked like a player. As I turned a corner I felt something push me to the ground. I laid there for a moment dazed. I wasn't sure what that had been. I sat up and saw a boy about my age, fifteen crouching on the ground next to me. He had straight blonde hair, olive skin and pale blue eyes. He was dressed in a blue sleeveless top, loose brown trousers to hes knees and brown shoes. Tied round hes waist was thin black ribbon. He looked in a hurry but also scared.

"Sorry" He said standing up "Are you ok?"

"I'm ok" I said standing up shakily "But watch where your going"

"How comes you're outside? Curfews in five minutes" He asked looking around then saw my sword "Are you a knight or something?"

"I cant remember" I said, I thought I better not tell the truth so I decided to say I had amnesia 

"I don't know how I got here or why I'm here I woke up at the edge of the forest"

"Oh well come to my house and I'll tell you where you are and that but quick before they catch us" He said 

"Who?" I asked caustically. I still couldn't get my head around what was going on. 

"Just follow me and I'll explain it all" He said "Come on"

He lead me through a maze of streets until we stopped outside a blacksmiths. He opened the wooden door and gestured for me to enter. I walked inside and had to catch my breath. There were creates of beautifully crafted swords. There was a man sealing one of the crates. He looked up at us and looked back at the boy confused. He was middle aged with ash hair and the same blue eyes as the boy who I guessed was he son. He was wearing a blue shirt, brown trousers and shoes. Over the top was a dirty apron. I shifted uncomfortably as the boy went over and began to talk with him.

"Hi by the way" The boy said once they were done talking obviously about the strange girl who had just burst through the door with amnesia. "I'm Quints"

"I'm-" I paused. Which name did I use? "Tigereye. I remember that"

"Anything else?" Quints asked me

"No not really" I sighed "Um sorry about this"

" Don't worry" He said "Are you hurt at all?"
"No"
"So can you help us quick then I promise I'll tell you all I can"

"Sure" I said and began to help stack swords into creates.

Once we had finished Quints and his dad Brinx lead me through a door at the back of he's shop to there house. There was a fire place at the other end of the cramped room. There was a low wooden table close to it covered in cooking ingredients. On the left was a window with tatted cream curtains. There was pillows on the floor and a bed set up next to the door in the corner. On the right wall was a wooden door. Cutting up a carrot was a middle aged women with long straight blond hair tied back, olive skin and grey eyes. She was wearing a faded orange dress and dirty white apron. On her feet were plain brown flats. She looked up at us and looked at me, then to Brinx and then to Quintis. She smiled. I guess she didn't mind the company.
