Revelations are... revealed!!!

 *singing*-AND A SONG IS A STEPPIN' STONE/ KINDA LIKE THE WAY YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LET STARS SING YOU HOOOOOOOOOOOOME- Whaaat? It's on? Oh um, pretend you didn't see that last part, kay?  Anyway more to tell...

 As soon as I fell asleep, I felt the waterslide-like feeling only portals gave. More portals!!! If this kept up, I might start throwing up rainbow glitter! Trust me,that would not be pretty.
  It transported me back in the same world I was before. Did you really expect me to go somewhere else? This time I managed to land gracefully instead of falling in a heap. Well, at least I was getting better at portals...
  I felt a slight pressure on my shoulder, and I whipped my head around.
  "Oh, hi Elara." I was used to her appearing randomly. "Do you have any reason for being here? And no, you are not allowed to say you came here 'cause you're bored."
  The impish little fairy sighed "Oh well, caught again. But it wasn't my fault that the Flower Fairy Ninjas didn't have any missions for me. Honestly, you don't even know just how boring it can get over there!" She launched herself into the air, and started hovering in front of me.
  "Unfortunately, I'm on a serious mission for once. I have absolutely no time to play with you."
  "That's not the only reason I came here, you know. The other one was the glitter fairy comment. I mean, did you really think you were gonna get away with that? Besides," she said looking me over. "It's a major improvement."
   I looked down and groaned, well at least I pretended to. I was wearing the same dress as before!
   "What was wrong with what I was wearing before?!?! Wait, how did you find out about that comment? I know for a fact the FFN can't get on my blog!"
   She just smirked. "Well I planted a magical bug on your jewel."
   I felt a flare of heat at my wrist when she said the word jewel. I didn't have to look down to know thatI was wearing it. Usually, I'd be really ticked off at the person that got it on me, but I felt I might need it later...
   "Oh, look they're here!" I squealed, waving wildly at the people at the crest of the hill. "Come on, let's go see them!"
    "Ok, already!" Elara yelled as I tried to grab her. "I'm coming. Just be careful with those wings!!!"
    I wrinkled my nose when we came to the top. That smell... It was reeeeeeaaaaaally disgusting, and yet oddly familiar all at the same time. I couldn't place it though. And I was pretty sure that I'd remember the place I smelled that.
   Elli waved her hand in front of my face. "Hellooo, anyone in there?"
   I laughed. "Don't you know that line is so overused?"
   "And yet it never ever gets old, like the millions of other overused lines you keep helpfully pointing out to me."
   I snorted. "I'm glad you're so grateful for my help. Now, are you going to introduce me to the other Chosen or what?"
   "Well why don't we start now?"
   After a lot of introductions (and chocolate *grins*) I found myself sitting down with Elli at the edge of the group.
    "So... What do you do here?" I asked
    Her face lit up at the memories. "We have picnics, and dances, and parties," Elli flaid down on the grass, giggling." Fun stuff."
    I frowned. This all seemed connected somhow. Suddenly,it all came flooding back to me. The night of Elli's birthday ball. That icky smell was in the air, too. And when I found Elli she was laying on the floor, just like she was doing now. I stared at her, horrorstruck
    Until I felt a cold hand clamp down on my shoulder.  

Never mind, that last one was test prep. THIS is the real test

The hypocrite strikes again! But really, I am weird this way. Have story, will continue.

  The door swung open revealing... a pink panda party! Just kidding. I'd be so much more happier if that happened.
  It swung open revealing... a portal! In all it's rainbowy awesomeness of course.
  I gasped."Woah, cool! Where does it lead t-" The general cut me off and pushed me in. Before the office disappeared from my view, I saw the desperation on his face.
  My happy ending instincts kicked in. What was that about? I grinned evilly. Maybe a happy ending wasn't so hard after all. Then I closed my eyes and let the sparkles take me away...


  I hate to interrupt (Not really. Quit talking- You mean typing. Just stop!!!) *sigh* There are some things I'll never get and one of them is Rila. Anyway, time for a crash course on portals!
  Every single world has magic, but it tends to show in different ways. We kinda travel place to place using that world-magic. To open one, you have to give a certain spot an overload of magic. That's the easy part. The tricky part is getting where you want to go.
  If a path hasn't been mapped out for a portal, it'll usually drop you on the star road that connects all worlds. It's nice and all, but you tend to get lost after a while. The Realm Travelers have a different way to do it, 'cause they deal mostly with the book-worlds a.k.a. Realms. We deal with the imaginary/ dream ones. Anyway do you catch my drift?(wood. Sorry I couldn't resist!) Back to the story!


  I was dropped off literally, on a meadow with tall, green grass. Laughter came from afar. Everything was practically screaming at me to go investigate. I stood and brushed the portal dust a.k.a. GLITTER, off. Unfortunately, I still looked like a sparkle fairy (No, I didn't mean that in a bad way Elara!) Wait... Something was wrong with that picture. I looked down. I was wearing a dress! How did I end up in one?!?! Did the general know about my weakness for pretty dresses?!?!
   Someone was running towards me. "Lexi!"
   "Elli?" I asked, astonished "But what are you doing here? Where are we? Why-"
  "Before I answer those, you have to see this!" And with that she grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
  Soon we came across a... picnic? Everyone there was talking and giggling. They looked well, happy. I recognized some faces, and I frowned trying to place them. All of a sudden it hit me, these people were the Chosen!
  "Elli, Elli," I tugged on her sleeve urgently. "How did you get here?"
  "Um, I think I was..." Elli thought for a moment. "You know what, I really don't remember."
  I just gaped at her in horror as everything started to fade away.


A couple blackouts, rainbows, and fuzzy side effects later...


Back in the office, the general gave me an explanation. Apparently, he created another world when the jewels were stolen. Then, before the Chosen drifted off forever he somehow managed to get them in the world he created.
  "So, you're one of the world-maker people thingys!!!"
  "Um, yeah that's right." He looked embarrassed.
  "But that's awesome! Why didn't you tell me?!?!"
  He shrugged. "Can we get on another subject now?"
  "Ok then, who do you have a crush on?"
   "Whaaaat?"
   "Who do you have a crush on?' I smiled. It was just like old times.
   "No one! Why did you ask?"
   "So I could read your mind and figure out. You have a crush on Elli, don't you" And for the record, the general's about the same age as me.

 Anyway the general's not a suspect anymore. Which brings us back to square one. I'm starting to think I need some outside help on this *coughrealmtravelerscough*. Also I got a portal call from the rest of the gang. They said they had to go back to the missions they were on.  Oh I forgot to mention, the reason the posts are like this now is 'cause when I was in the GDK HQ, I found one of those headset things you can talk through and it will type what you said on the computer. I linked it to the blog, used a bit of magic and volia, instant blogger! Always random, ever changing,

P.S. Now I realize that tests have nothing to do with this!!! Oh well, too bad

A test... Well more of a pop quiz now that I think about it

I don't like homework and I don't like tests. The timed ones. Like this one was. To make it worse, it's a life or death thing. So yeah...

  I woke up, only to find that Sam was gone. Guess it all really was a hallucination, then. Now,what did the guards mean when they said I needed my beauty sleep? Maybe they injected some poison in me while I was asleep!!! That would be really bad. I could die at any moment now!But I should stop worrying about myself. Who knows what he did to the rest of them?!? The general, I mean. Not Sam.
   I heard the grating of a key turning in a lock. Now that was a rude awakening.
  "You're coming with us." The guard said. You'd think they would know that I'm not an impster. Guess that' what I get for keeping away from the public after the war.
  " 'Kay. I'll be there in a sec." I kicked the blankets together, trying to buy some time..
  "The general said he wants you now."
  "Fine," I walked to the open door. "Happy now?"
  I was forced to walk (more like stumble) down the hall, hands cuffed behind my back. Nine more guards joined us on the way. Ten highly dangerou guards against one girl? I must've become something of a legend when I was gone.
  "Hello, again." The general said
  I sighed "What do you want now?"
  "You haven't changed a bit since I last you."
  "Considering that the last time you saw me was, I dunno a couple of days ago, it's hardly a surprise. Anyway, enough with the chitchat. Why. Am. I. Here."
  "To listen to a proposal I have of course. But before I say anything you should see this." And with that the door at the end of the hall opened revealing...
  
Yeah right, like I'm going to tell you now. To be honest, I'm still freaking out over it. I'll talk more later when I've calmed down. Or stopped pacing around at least.
