Chapter 1
A forest full of cotton candy trees and mystical creatures fades from my vision as i wake up from my slumber. My eyes still glued shut hardly moving. I reach for my phone on the desk and grab it, pulling it twords me as i unplug it.“its already nine o’clock” I rip the blanket off of me; immediately regretting it. Echos off calming music fill the air as I finally stood up and walked to my closet to get changed.
Today was Frostlights 25th anniversary and I couldn’t miss it. Frostlight is were a work its a small company that gives gifts to kids in need. Sometimes we even get with Santa to make a big gift! I’m especially happy today because every year Lomi (the head manager) sends someone threw a portal to another world, he says its a way of expanding the company, and I got picked for this years portal!
I looked in the mirror doing a couple poses before adding a beanie.“sadly, Lomi said the world im going to doesn’t have demihumans so to fit in i have to hide” i said quietly, talking to myself. I turned around making sure my horns weren’t visible from the back before walking to the door.
I live in a dorm with little room but i somehow managed to have a roommate. His name is Nika, he had to wake up early today to help set up for my send off. I griped the door handle tightly, then opened it. Right in front of me stood Lomi.
His short silver hair swayed in the wind rhythmly and i stood there completely mesmerized by the sight. My gaze was stopped by Lomi’s hand “hey, dude are you alright?“. I gently swatted his hand out of the way, looking out the big window surrounding us.“its like we’re in a giant ice cube” I spoke quitely thinking nobody would hear me but to my surprise I heard Lomi whisper back “ya, i love it”.
