Warning, Long story! It's a good one though :)
Inkheart, the book that captured me.
There is this book, at the edge of the world, it stands upon a pedestal alone, so mighty and fearsome, white as bone. It gleefully shines with a binding shimmering like an emerald in the pure sunset sky. It sits there, patiently, waiting for someone or something that it may bring into the unknown story and place of whence it came. Once, it found me. I was walking along a road by the forest and then I spotted a clearing, I never knew I was so close to the edge of the world. As I walked unto that clearing, I saw a temple; aged and withered, and then. I spotted it, the pedestal, shining very white in the sky, and on top of it, the very book I described, except, smaller. As if it could fit into my hand with ease. As I walked closer to the pillar, my bronze hair, waving about my head started shifting a little, as I felt a warm breeze rush through the air. I was enchanted, this whole place, nothing could be more exciting. The book, I came near it, so close I could almost touch it. Just as I was about to touch it. My stomach lurched, I was spinning, spinning really fast, and suddenly I fell on the floor, but this wasn't stone. Oh no, this wasn't stone, it was grass, I was in a forest of some sorts. I turned my back to the tree and I saw a pond, with strange shadows lurking at the bottom, and a nest, a kind of bee nest, but quite a lot more red. Instead of bees buzzing around this they were little figures, I couldn't make out what they looked like but they were devilish. As I walked past the nest I got a closer look at them, though I made sure not to stray too far, I realized that they were very human like creatures, in fact. They looked like very small people, with red skins and shining yellow hair, buzzing quietly and giggling mischievously. I walked on, noticed a well-trodden pathway and followed it, not long after, there came a clearing and I saw people, not usual people, it seemed like I landed in a medieval world where fairies and nymphs strolled the lands. As I looked further unto the horizon I saw an impressive city, it had a village and a stunning palace, I heard people talk about it, I thought it was called 'Ombra'
Tell me if you like part 1! :3 If so, I'll make more :)
