Lily woke up at 2.am to go to the restroom. She yawned and stretched while brushing away the last presence of sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, surprised to see a marvelous blue portal with a green outline floating around her. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. She instantly switched to thinking about what the Legends said: the portal leads to the Realm of Tirrebirthsa. Only one person will be chosen to get challenged to beat the three dragons of the mighty North Region in the legend.

She carefully peeked inside the portal to see what was inside. As soon as her head entered the portal, she got sucked in. She closed her eyes, frightened about what could happen. She was spinning round and round in the forbidden tunnel until…Thup. She crashed into a pile of big hard tree trunks. She opened her eyes only to find herself lying in the middle of a vast forest in the secret Realm of Tirrebirthsa.

It was a foggy place. She could barely breathe. She took a look around the mysterious area only to find trees beside her. By now she was very homesick. She jumped up and down trying to break out and forcing herself not to fall asleep. The only worry was how to get out and not fall back asleep. There is really nothing you can do when you are stuck in the forest with only tall trees. So, she decided to lie there and call for help the next day with her brand New iphone that she didn’t even figure out how to use yet. She fell back asleep in a second dreaming about home.
