out of the box and filled the room.
    Cassy found herself trapped in the lights as
they wrapped around her in a swirling whirlwind of glowing fog. She
tried to step away but was unable
to move her feet.
    Aaron stood transfixed, watching the lights
danced around the room. Then when they moved toward Cassy, he was
amazed to watch them as they
surrounded her in a whirlwind of flashing colors and fog. He tried
to step back but found himself
caught up in the same whirlwind of lights.
    “Cassy, what’s happening?” Aaron cried
out.
    “I don’t know.” She looked down at the book
and noticed the Ruby glowed even
more of the bright colors shooting out of its center.
    Aaron was frightened as he watched the
lights wrap around Cassy and lift
her up into the air.
    When as their eyes met, Aaron suddenly found
himself trapped by the same lights as they lifted him into the air.
Each wanted to shout for help but
found themselves unable to speak. Panic filled their hearts as the
room spun around them, causing them to grow dizzy and disoriented.
They were about to give up all hope of escape when a bright flash
of light filled the room, and once it was gone it had taken Cassy
and Aaron with it.

Chapter 6
    Cassy felt horrible. She was dizzy and had a throbbing pain in her head.
    “Dang, I don’t feel so good,” she
moaned.
    “Cassy, where are we?” Aaron asked in a near
whisper.
    “Huh? What are you talking about, we’re in
the library,” Cassy groaned as she opened her eyes. Nevertheless,
what she saw made it entirely clear they were no longer in the library.
    “Abigail, you have returned to us,” a voice
exclaimed from behind a fallen tree.
    Cassy struggled to her feet then reached
down to help Aaron stand.
    “Cassy, who said that?” Aaron asked as he
stood next to Cassy.
    “I don’t know,” Cassy said, brushing a few
strands of hair from her face.
    “Who are you? Come out so we can see you,” Cassy pushed Aaron behind her in
a protective stance.
    “You are not Abigail? I do not understand.
You look like Abigail from the stories I grew up hearing,” the
voice was full of disappointment at hearing this news.
    Cassy squared her shoulders, trying to
summon courage to face this unknown person. “Show yourself,” she
demanded.
    Aaron gasped as he watched a creature step
from behind the log. It stood nearly five-foot-tall with dark scaly skin, and bright emerald
green eyes that seemed to look deep into his soul. He blinked his
eyes several times, not convinced he was truly seeing what was
there before him.
    “You’re a dragon,” the words escaped his
mouth before he realized what he had said.
    The creature stepped closer but stopped when Cassy held out her hand. “Stop,
dragons aren’t real. They are only make-believe; something out of
Fairy Tales.”
    The expression on the creature’s face changed from one of hope to one of
sadness.
    “I do not understand. There are whispers of
how Abigail, the chosen Champion fought the Evil Queen Alona, and
how someday she will return. It is
said that once she returns, she will defeat the Queen and restore
freedom to the Kingdom of Walandra. You promised that you would
return to help us, and here you are.”
    Cassy shook her head, trying to clear her
mind. “Stop calling me Abigail. My name is Cassy. I don’t know you,
and I never promised to return. Heck, I don’t even know where we
are, so how could I have promised anything?”
    “But you answered our plea. We called out to
you, and you returned to Walandra,” the creature smiled, trying to
put her at ease. “You must remember.”
    Cassy shook her head again then looked back
at Aaron. “Pinch me. I want to wake up from this strange
dream.”
    Aaron looked at Cassy and laughed. “Pinch
you, I’ve already been pinching myself, and it’s not working. I
don’t think we’re dreaming. This is real.”
    The words hit Cassy with such force that she
nearly collapsed to the ground.
    This is real, but how is that
possible? T he
