Chapter   1

I walked towards Micoha's office; I wonder what he wants? I thought. Once i reached his door i knocked. "Come in!" yelled micoha. I walked in silently. "Please, sit down." I sat down. why's he in such a good mood? "Hello, Jay" he said. "Hi, why did you bring me here?" I asked. "Because I have got something to tell you,"

"Ok," I answered. "Me and Mikiya are getting married. "He said slowly. My mouth dropped open. I stared wide eyed. After a while i said. "Ni-I-ice" trying to sound normal.

" You may be dismissed." Said micoha.so i walked out, all the way to my room, and shut the door. This is crazy. I thought.

"Levitate," i took a deep breath. And was flying. I hovered over to the jungle. Lately everything has been pretty boring without Felix, but he is supposed to be back in a couple days. While i picked berries i resighted these words: "Pot, dot, sit, did, end, apple, Physico, Complete, and serious."  I picked up a couple berries as I passed the bushes. "Pot, P, O, T, Dot D, O, T, Sit, S, I T," I sat down near the waters end. " End, E, N, D," I jumped into the water. and put one am over the other, it's boring here, I want adventure, I want fun. It has been a while since Felix left.

I had a weird feeling, almost as if something was pulling me, Then i heard a voice, go to illusion Felix needs you, the orange planet towards the right GO QUICKLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THERE YOU WILL MEET SOMEONE NAMED JONAS AND SOMEONE NAMED LIA. QUICK! The deep voice said. Suddenly i felt ill, and a dizziness consumed me I fell to the ground.  I walked towards the light, the thing is, this light isn't light, its dark, but just as powerful and blinding as any light, I walked towards it something was tugging at me to go forward, in the midst of it all i saw i shadow, millions of whispers and voices came from inside of the shadow. The shadow said only one word, " Come here, Jay."

Its words felt like thunder.

I opened one eye and looked around: Early afternoon stars, Trees, creatures, Me on the ground. Once i finally remembered what had happened i replaced my confused look, with a determined one. I stashed the berries i had picked in my right pocket, and i bottle full of water in my left next to my dagger. I whistled. " Yes? What may i do for you today, Julieta? "Asked Pluto. "Take me too Illusion"

Pluto nodded slowly, he knew why.

                    CHAPTER 2

I sat on Pluto's back, Pluto, I could tell, was not comfortable with this idea, for he had I worried esspression across his face.  Am I doing the right thing? I must be! I sighed.

                .  .   .

A couple of hours later i saw a small planet in the distance. I feel like everything is happening too fast. I reached into my pocket and drank a bit of water, my water was already almost gone from  the trip. But i was asumming there'd be an stream or some source of water at Ilussion.

                           CHAPTER 3

I stepped off of Pluto onto the soft moss on the ground." Green, what an odd color for grass, " I thought aloud. Almost instantly i felt a bug bite my arm. "OUCH!" I screamed; it was such a small bug that bit me but it felt like it had chopped of my arm! Another came bussing aroud and bit my in the same spot, I bit my Tongue and tried not to scream out in pain. "Pluto we got to get out of this place!" i yelled andi climbed atop him and he started flying deeper into the forest but high enough so no bugs could bite me.I Looked at the two bite on my  arm they both exeploded and blood poured out.I tried to hold back the tears in eyes,

"Pluto-I think we should try to stop the bleeding on my arm, I'm losing blood very fast. "I said worriedly. " Alright I think we're out of range of those pests, I'll land, and we'll try to find something to cover it up, " said Pluto. I nodded as we slowly lowered, then landed. I tried to ignore the pain as Pluto looked around for somthing to stop the bleeding. I sat down on the mossy floor, Maybe Felix was right,i had already gotten hurt. "Will this work? " Pluto said Holding a big green leaf and a thick peice of grass. i nodded He put it around my arm an the leaf quickly turned red. "Let's keep walking,"I said, We started walking strait at a good pace.

    .    .    .

I took huge breaths as i tried to walk on in the unbearable heat. I have no idea how long we have been walking at least three hours, i guess. I stopped and took of my Cloke, an put it in Pluto's baskets. "Pluto i don't know how much longer i can walk, "I said tiredly. "I can fly a bit," said Pluto i nodded and before you know it we were up in the sky. I leaned on Pluto's big dragon neck and slowly closed my eyes and drifted off.

Into a troubled sleep.

"Julieta! Julieta? JULIETA? "Pluto said in a booming voice that made me wake up in an instant. 'Huh W-what's wrong Plu?I asked. "Your Cloke! Its your Cloke! It must've fell off when i was flying!" Pluto said in an ashamed voice. my eyes widened, "WHAT!?" I screamed and stood up. I wasn't thinking about the food, The water, my weapon, "That was the only thing i had left from my parents!" I spoke. "Yes, Ma'am I'll go look for it Right now. "Pluto said very quietly.I sat down. Now i have nothing, No food, no water, no lucky dagger no warm Cloke, I'm dead.

Hour's past, And Pluto doesn't come back.I tried looking around for him, but he was nowhere. Once i was back to the place i had started i was so annoyed so hot so sweaty, so hopeless. "WHY!?WHY ME?!!!"I screamed as loud as i could. Suddenly A girl a bit younger than me fell out of a tree right next to me, she had Mid length dark brown hair she was wearing clothing made of plants and holding a bow. She looked up at me and screamed, jumped up ready to attack. I was frozen in complete shock. We stared at each other for a long time. "Who are you? What do you want!?"The girl demanded in a thick accent.

"Um I-I-I want to find a uhm Person named F-Felix, and i uh don't mean any harm, also do you have any, Er Thing to eat or drink?" I asked Shakely. The girl slowly lowered her bow and quickly walked around me examining everything. I stood as straight as i could. ," Conn-Firmm,"The girl said like she had said that many times before. I blinked. "What's your name? "She asked keeping a straight face. "Julieta, you can call me Eta though, if you want. "I said. "All righty Eta follow me, "she said. I followed her, "Soo, do you know anybody with the name of Felix?" I asked. "Hmm I'm not aware, But Master T.H. might know," I felt like laughing out loud. Master T.H. what a stupid name! But i said nothing of it. "Whose master T.H?'I asked trying not to crack a smile. 'You'll see."

"Call me Lia" The girl said. I nodded

Lia gasped. 'Your arm! OH no! This is not good, not good at all. "She said. "We go to get you to the hospital! I looked confused. 'You got bitten! It a very dangerous bug its poisonous 'I gulped; the girl whistled. And two brown horses with horns and a odd tail came. "Let's ride it'll get us their faster, "Lia said. "R-ride? But-" I started. "Come on!" she cut me off. So, i relucent Ly sat down on the beast. "Um Move "I said. It Sprange into action and started running really fast. "AHH"I said. 'Wow you really good at this! "Lia said catching up to me.

Soon enough we arrived at a big town.

 "Seetleburg Village. "I read.

                                CHAPTER FOUR.

                          Seetleburg Village.

"How is this a village? Its huge!" I cried. as we rode our horses into the village. Lia shrugged the village had several small-town houses and then a bunch of bigger buildings in a circle and a big tower at the end. "The hospital is this way." Lia said. I trotted toward where she had pointed. After a bit we arrived at a big orange building. "Alright let hurry before your bites get infected. 'said Lia. I nodded. and we walked into the building. I sat down on a bench while Lia explained to the Docter where she found me and what I needed. The man walked toward

 me and looked at my bites.

"Mmm these are pretty bad, we'll have you right away, Miss. "The man said. "O-ok" I said. "Follow me" The doctor said. I followed him into a small white room with a lamp and a strange bed. "Lay down" I layed down on the strange bed. The doctor handed me a cup full of water. I Drank it thankfully. "Thank you," I said. The man nodded. "Now, this might sting a bit, but it will numb the pain." Docter said. i nodded and he spreaded cream over my cuts, and he was right it did sting, but it wasn't too bad. Once the stinging stopped, he wrapped a big bandage around my arm. "Your good to go" The man said. "Thank you, Sir "I said.

The man humbly bowed. I walked out with Lia. "Now, we must tell master T.H. about you, follow me>," Said Lia. "Ok" i answered.

Once we reached the big tower, Lia said this to the knights guarding the door, "Please bring Master T.H. we have a special visitor," and bowed. "MASTER T.H. YOU HAVE A VISITOR PLEASE COME DOWN. "Yelled one of the knights.

A small boy in good clothes stepped out.

Mouth full of disbelief, I star at a mirror image of my mother,

I see hiss past through his bright green eyes, Flashbacks started and they brought tears of joy to my eyes, "Baby Thor," I whispered. "How dare you call me a baby! And how do you know my name-"He stopped short. And his eyes widened. "Y-Y-ou look a lot like someone "He stammered. Suddenly he remembered. "Thor!" I cried, cradling him in my arms. Tears came down like waterfalls on Thor's face. "W-what's happening? Lia said. Thor released himself from my grasp. "She is my sister!!!" Thor said. "Whattt? cool! "Said lia."I don't even know your name!" Gasped Thor. 

"I'm Julieta," I said to Thor,,who was just a baby when horror struck.  "COOL!" said Thor excited.

Later that day i told Thor everything that had happened. "Wow that's a ton!" Thor remarked. I nodded. "Now it's my turn, my story is kind of mixed up and jumbly, but when i first arrived here i couldn't remember anything. Not even how i got here, but these people found me a raised me up, And now I'm there king! Er well president manager, whatever you want to call it." He finished. "Thats odd,' I exclaimed. "I almost forgot; I have a question. Did a guy bout little older than me pass through here? "I asked. "What's his name? Thor said. "Felix, "I held my breath. "Oh yes, just the other day in fact he passed by and said he was

going to the Gate to Fate. "He shivered. 'Felix is my friend an i came here looking for him, if he went to the gate of fate i must go to! "I said in a confident voice." woah, woah! you can't go there! it's dangerous! Thor blurted out. "I'm going! I spoke.  "M-me to-o." Thor stammered. "What? I gasped. "N-o-o!"I said "Its way to dangerous!" Thor rolled his eyes. "OH, Please Julieta I have been running i whole kingdom! Erm-I-I mean Village, how dangerous can it be? "said Thor. "But your only seven." I said Holding my breath.  "Age is just a number, "Thor said. I looked into his eyes. "Ok," I sighed. I had just met him i didn't want to lose him, not yet. "Let's go eat." Said Thor.

Thor:

I stared across the large table. My face landed on Samantha. And I quickly looked back at my plate. I really don't want to go to the gate of fate. But i have too, For Julieta.

                        CHAPTER five

"Ooh, What's this? Shiny! SOO PRETTY! Is what I woke up too. "ARGH DON'T TOUCH THAT!"I cried. Thor startled dropped Felix's locket to the ground. I rushed out of bed and grabbed the locket.  "No, No no! I gasped. the lockets glass had a small but noticeable crack. "I-I-I'm so sorry! I was only looking! Cried Thor. I cursed under my breath. "It's fine" i mumbled. I Shubbed the locket in my pocket. And looked around we were both sleeping in the top room of the tower sun beamed through the windows.

On the side of the wall, I saw two bags stuffed with stuff. "What's this?" I asked walking towards the bags. "I was packing for going to the gate of fate." Thor said sheepishly. I smiled. "Good thi-"I stopped short, As something caught my eyes. Resting peacefully around Thor's neck was a small caterpillar Necklace dotted with diamonds looking very much like My butterfly necklace. "Where'd you get that?" I gasped. "Oh this, the people found it on my Neck when i came here. "He said simply. "I-I have one just like it. Mother gave it to me before she-she Went away." I stuttered. "Oh" A moment of silence passed by.     Thor petted his necklace, "Shiny. "He whispered. "I'm Hungry. "said Thor. And he started downstairs.

"Ok<"I said slowly. And walked downstairs after him. "Thor I have a question." I said. "What? "He asked curiously. "Um-Do you feel anything when you Touch your caterpillar?"mI asked slowly. "No, not really, "Thor said. "Ok" I answered. "Wanna come to the Stables To help feed the monster?" Thor asked me. "Um sure," I followed him,"Whats the monster?" I asked. "Something i found in the jungle, It was odd, It had something shiny round his neck but wouldn't let me take it. "Thor said.

Once we reached the stables. I gasped at the sight. "PLUTO!" I screamed running towards him. I tried to climb the fence bit Thor grabbed my sleeve. "Stop he is dangerous! "Yelled Thor.. "Thor he is My Dragon! "Thor let go. And i climbed the fence. "Oh Pluto! I'm so sorry! I was so so mean to you its not your fault!"I said petting his neck. "Get the chains off! I yelled Thor tossed the key to me. I unlocked all the chains and they fell to the ground. The spots where the chains were left a red spots on his wings. "Aw.Does it hurt Plu?I asked. "Justtt a bittt," said Pluto. "I gottt ttthis for you, I thoughttt you mighttt need ittt."he said holding out a blue butterfly necklace dotted with diamonds in his mouth. 'You ent all the way back t steal this for me?" I asked. Pluto nodded.

I hugged his big neck. "Thank you," I said. "My pleasure. "He said. "I also found something else. "Pluto said Pulling out a big cloak wrapped around a perfect dagger. I gasped. "Thank you! I pulled the cloak Around myself and sniffed the scent of home the dagger was perfectly untouched. "Where'd you get that cool cloak?" Asked Thor. "From Fathers closet a long time ago." I spoke. And i put the necklace on my neck. "AHHHH!" Thor screamed. Light glowed from his necklace. Once it stopped, He said, "I feel weird," I marveled the scene in his hand. It was a glowing red ball. "Y-you How?" I asked. "Energize," I whispered. And a blue ball appeared in my hand.

"OOOO shiny! "Said Thor "Be careful thor," I said. I reached out for his ball His was tiny and it felt cold in my hand. I tossed them both into the weeds. and through a fire ball at them. "Hey Thats, mine!" Cried Thor Running towards the fire. "S-stop!" I said. "It's too dangerous." I said in a scared voice. "But why?" He started. "No buts!  Go eat breakfast1'I snapped. I felt a pang of guilt as he ran upstairs. "Whattt was that all abouttt?" Asked Pluto "I-I read in the ancestry book that if you unlock your magic to early at age it could be...Dangerous "I said. "I'm going to go eat breakfast" I said a ran inside.

                                CHAPTER SIX

"Look, Thor I'm sorry i was being so rude to you, but please just don't try anything." I said as i stuffed My dagger into the bag. 'Ok" Thor sighed. A moment of awkward silence passed by. "Eta A-are you Scared? He asked after a long while.  I raised an eyebrow. "Of what?" I asked. "The gate of fate," said Thor. "A bit, But If you don't take some risks, you'll be too afraid to face the real dangers in life." I held my breath. "I guess," Thor said. "But you do know that where leaving tonight?" he said. 

"What!?" I gasped "So soon?" 

 "Afraid so. The Gate of Fate opens only at nine O'clock This date every year. And Pluto said that he'll stay here a watch the village." Said Thor. "Wow, you really got everything figured everything out." I said stuffing some food inside of my bag. "Well, it's not like we're just going to the market or anything. We're going to the gate of fate. And the only people who went inside there never came out again, no one knows why," A shiver ran up my spine as he said the words.

I woke up in the middle of the night to Thor shaking me vigorously. "Wake up! we have to get going it opens in two hours an it a good hour walk!Shouted Thor. "Ok, quiet down." I said and slipped on my warm cloak tucking it in extra good to stay warm. I grabbed my bag and made sure i had everything. "Lets go," The said. "Ok,' I held my breath. "Lead the way."

we walked through the forest. I followed a good bit behind Thor.  Once i caught up to Thor he said: "Well, who is Felix and how do you know him?" I thought hard an strong on how to say this. "Well I met him a couple years ago, An we became really good friends, and we've been friends ever since." I don't know why,but i cringed as i said those words. suddenly Lia jumped out of a tree. I screamed. "What are you doign?" I gasped. 'I'm coming with you of course."Lia said. "What?!" I marvled. "Its fine." Thor slowed me down." O-o-ok" I stuttered. 

                 CHAPTER  SEVEN

"So this is it?" I stared up at the large gate. "Yep "Said Lia With a huge smile. Thor made a sound that sounded quit like this, Mmm. In a quit uncomfortable tone. He cowered behind my back.I found his hand an Grabbed it. "Well, lets go." I said. I gulped. And i opened the large gate an inch. I stared into the darkness. Lia lit a candle. and we all slowly walked into to the silence dark. We heard a loud sound and than we all looked at each other. Thor looked like he was about to cry.

I heard another sound, this time closer. I pulled my dagger out quickly just as a Hug blue ligght flashed and thunder boomed. Thor screamed In terror. 'Its storming! He yelped. Rain thundered down on us and lighting  strook the ground. 'I-Its ok" I stuttered."AHHH!" Lia screamed as a big gust of wind

 blew her across the floor . 'Help!!!!!!!!!!11" I yelled wind pulled me back and I reached for thors hand and i ran fighting aganst the wind lighting in struck a tree and it burn to death. "LIA!" i yelled. And grabbed her hand an pulled her away from  a bolt of lighting that almost hit her. I ran An ran. "ANOTHER GATE!" thor yelled. as we aproched a mini gate with fake spiders on it.I yanked it openand fell ont the ground of rock. "Phew,: I breathed.I felt thors hand turn to dust.

Then Lias. "Guys?" I said in a scared voice. everything around me was pitch black and cold. I heard faint whispers getting louder and louder i ran  an dran into the bottomless pit."HELLO!?" I screamed. I was alone.No please! no i don;t wanna be alone! I hate being alone! Its my biggest fear! Let me go! "Stop!!!!?" I yelled at the darkness. I ran an ran forever completly alone. Tears dripped down  me cheeks. I screamed  and screamed.I fell to the ground and looked at my reflection.  Images apeared in the air, In the images i saw mom and dad pointing at me an luaghing. "Faillur, Failur."The darkness whispered.

The images Turned into me as a little girl when i tried to attempted to kill the man with wings an he justt held me back with his hand an luaghed. An once again the dark whispered, "Failur,Failur,,Failur." The images changed again this time it was me getting punished by micoha it showed me suffering all the way until i became limp. The it whispered this time louder. 'FAILUR FALUR.'I sobbed on the ground. "Its not true! I screamed."Its not! It s not its  not!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.I fell down to the ground and whimpered. listening to the whispers saying the words."Failur,Failur."."Its true I whispered. "I'm a failur.If i can't even make it throught this,If I failed already. I'm a failur."I whispered. tears wet the ground.I lay in a wet puddle.for a long time,

"NO!" I screamed. I jumped up. "YOUR WRONG STUPID DARKNESS.!!!!!!!" i ran straight. "I'M COMIGN FELIX!" i yelled.I saw a light and i ran.

"JULIETA!"     screamed thor who was sitting at the gate waiting for me.I hugged him tight. 'I have waisted a whole hour of our time im so sorry thor." I siad. "Julieta it only been five minutes" Thor said. "What<" I blinked."Lets go." Lia said.we walked into the next gate slowly.A enourmas  Lake was inside and the gate was on the other side. "Looks like we'll have to swim." Said thor."No-o-o-o!"Sai Lia. "I hate water i-i-i can't I'm afrad of water I really can't." Siad lia. trying to sound cool

But her face was white as a sheet.And her eyes were very wide. "We have to Lia." I said touched her arm. She shrieked and pulled her arm away. "No." She shivvered.I gave her a moment to let her know we were going to do it."F-f-fine I-i'll try." Said Lia.I slipped into the cool water..And started swimmign, so did lia and she swam very good i have no idea why she didn't want to ennter the water.She grasped her hat with her dark brown hand and swam as fast as possible. A man apeared in front of us we all stoped. "Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees."It sang."Daddy??"Lia whispered 
...

Looking at the man on the boat.The man suddenly fell into the water and screamed trying to swim but the current was too strong his face was fearful and the cuurrent swempt him under and his eyes rolled to the bback of his head.and he sunk to the bottom.I looked over at Lia to see her crying."Whats wrong lia?" I asked. "We have to get out of here<" she sobbed with and urgent voice.We swam fast towards the light.Lia screamed.And the fisherman pulled her underBubbles apeared on the water and the fisher man poked his head um and smiled evily."I'm going under thor go to the gate and wait there. " I said and dived under.

My vision was blurry but i found lia lieing and the bottom of the pond.I grabebd her hand trying to shack her awake.she wouldn't budge.I grabbed her and pulled her over my shoulders. the tremedouse wieght kept me under like and anchor but i tried as hard as ic ould and reached the surface gasping for air i swam slowly towards the light black spots appeared in my fuzzy eyes.I reached the island surronding the gate.I colapsed onto the sand gasping.Lia gasped severala times for breath. And sat up slowly. water spilled out of her mouth freely and she coughed it out.Her face turned green and she puked onto the sand.

"We have to keep going guys," Coughed Lia. "Ok." We both answered and we heaved over to the gate. We all looked at each other, Trying to imagine what could be behind this gate, I slowly creaked it open.Inside there was a small jungle, And tousands of snakes creeped out."Not snakes!"Cried thor. Jumping.The snakes stood up on the tails and atcked us.'AHH!"screaed thor. "USE YOUR POWERS." i yelled "EBLITERATE!" i yelled useing my new power I took out about a corter of the snakes. I slashed my dagger at one. as we all ran towards light."LIA TO YOUR LEFT<" I screamed and lia chopped the head of one."EBLITERATE?!"Yelled thor then

He marvled at what he had just done.Then i rembebered."NO DON'T USE YOUR POWERS THOR!!" I screamed "Why?" He said slashing off a head of a snake."JUST DONT! i screaemd.I killed another snake. "Ebliterate!" I yelled.Lia knocked over about twenty snake gaining us soem time. I gasped. I know what to do."ENERGIZE." I said.I grabbed the hands and practicly flew towards the light."Fasttttt" said thor.

                                CHAPTER EIGHT!~

I said down Infront of the gate. And grabbed a piece of bread from my Satch. I split in in thirds and gave everyone some. "This Felix guy better be worth it." Said Thor gasping for breath in between bites. Maybe i shouldn't of done this. I dragged these two into this dangerous quest just to save my friend. I'm being selfish. I thought looking at Thor and Lias bruised an bloody, wet and muddy body. "It'll be worth it." I looked down at my feet.

I shivered even though I'm sweating. "We better go through the next gate." I said. The others nodded, And we slowly entered the next gate.

"Whats so scary about mirriors?"Asked thor. The next gate led to a huge maze of mirrors."Yeah. Mirrors arent scary."Said Lia. I dissagreed. I stood as sraight as ever trying no to blink and sweat trickled down my face."Um, Eta?" Asked Lia slowly tapping my shoulder."Get me out of here," I sqeaked. I felt like dissapearing.Like screaming. Thor laughed. "Guys look at this one!"Said thor pointing to a mirror that made him look fat.I glanced over at the mirror, screamed, and jumped backwards bumping into another and i screamed again.

I darted forwards and raced through the maze turnign this way and that. And trying not to look at any of the mirrors.I ran an ran forever. I hit a dead and an banged into a mirror i gasped runing back."Julieta! Hello?!" I heard Lia's vice ring out. It echoed through the halls, as well as my screams. I looked at aa mirror with a reflection on me, but angry and i hollerered and ran twice as fast as before.Voices rang out through the halls.But that wasn't why i was scared, I wasn't scared of voices or the reflections. The mirrors themself. Ever since i was born i have been 

Want to hear his voice. I just want to find out why hee came here.Why do i have to be so curious about everything?So curious, To the point of danger.I'll mke it out of hear eta its okay i will,i will, will.

I thought as i ran.     It'll be ok. I looked down at the ground then screamed. I forgot it had mirrors to. I bumped into Lia then fell over. "Julieta! where have you been?!Said Lia. I shooked my head "We found the exit and thor made a map for me he's waiting come on." Said lia.She took my hand and practically pulled me along. I scrunched my eyes up so everything was almost dark enough not to see the stupid mirrors.Lia led me for awhile but eventualy we reached the gate and mirrors were gone.I opened my eyes 

"Come on poeple!Let go I'm getting tired and this has wasted already At least seven hours!" Gasped thor wearly."Ok." We both said at the same time.

                 CHAPTER NINE!!!!!!!!!!!

We entered the next door slowly and it seemed normal,Almost.Untile a big spider came walking out. "EEEEK!"Sqealed Lia.Million of mini spiders came out too.I started fighting the fierce spiders but when i sliced them they turned into even more tiny  spiders! "Don't cut the spiders!"I gasped.Everyone stopped. what do we do!?!Yelled thor. Lia screamed in the corner motionless her body was getting consummed by spiders."Lia do somthing.!" I screamed but she seemed frozen.
