I thought carefully about what to put in my bag for my journey ahead, finally deciding on two walkie-talkies, snacks, duct tape, a climbing rope, a compass, my ipad, notebook paper, and three bottles of water (you never know when you might be in a dire situation). I sneaked out of the house while my parents were sleeping, and ran as fast as I could through the passageway to the forest. In the middle of the road, I stopped and looked around. I always forgot where north was. I took out my compass, and stared at it for a minute and remembered, the clubhouse was west! After turning around, I ran straight into a tree.

Darkness awaited from the unwelcoming door. It's just like from the beginning, starting from the darkness. Then, in a millisecond, the universe grabbed us both into their darkest black hole. “ALARA!” I cried, floating around in darkness. I’m probably in a dream, I thought, pinching and rubbing my eyes. Her voice called out towards me. I swam among the stars, looking for a kind of wall separating us. I carefully touched each star, feeling its heat and warmth.

I’d always enjoyed little yet unremarkable adventures with my friend, like swinging on branches of tall trees, but going through a door, into another world, and battling an evil turtle. No way! Believe it or not, that’s what we encountered. What really enlivened the adventure was the pronouncement that my best friend and I had become the rulers of the land and our discovery that you should never leave the meaning of home. Journey along with us as you read on, my friend!
