Wisely the Owl took us around the castle. Emily and mine'e were right next to each other, a door in our rooms led to each other. We both loved them (Emily was so happy to live like a real person). Then he lead us to the back of the castle. The "back door" lead to an open field with woods at the very end. Places to practice with weapons, a garden, a little pond, and more could be seen. In the middle of it all stood a very large tree, which had a few swings hanging from the branches.

Wisely lead us under it and we all took a seat on a swing, even himself.

"Since you are very new to this world I shall tell you all about it. From the beginning, to the time we're in now." Wisely spoke.

Emily and I listened to each and every word he spoke next. He told us of how he became the creator, of every Queen beforehand, and of their stories.

"Every creature here, and the ones you supposedly see in fairytales, can speak. The people of the kingdom are very kind old souls. Actually each and every person you see are from your world.

When they lived in your world they were people who dreamed of other worlds, just like this. People who seemed to never grow up. When they died in your world they were asked if they shall come here and start new, or move on what lays beyond living life.

As you may see by the many people living here, most choose to come here" the owl chuckled.

"But there is also evil among this world. Some creatures and some of the people who turned greedy went to live in secret places in the woods!"

"Why would anyone want to turn on this place? Its awesome!" Emily burst out.

The owl looked at us very seriously, "I do not know, only as much as you do as ti why they turned. All I know is who the 'leader' is, and that they try to turn anyone who enters those very woods"

"I knew I had a bad feeling when I first saw them!" Emily said.

"And you didn't say anything?" I said back.

"I didn't know if I was right or not. So I didn't say." I laughed.

"But anyways, who is this 'leader' you were talking about?" I asked concerned.

"I've met him long ago, way before he tried to turn the whole kingdom. He's, what you call in your world, a jaguar. But bigger than any that has ever lived in the human world. His eyes are turned red with the evil inside them. He's fierce. And even though I hate to admit it, he is a very good warrior. And very good at persuading people sadly.

He was one of the first talking creatures we had here. He was very kind, but didn't seem to be afraid of anything. But as he got older he seemed greedy for power! This is when he tried to turn the whole of Verdona against me! He turned some, but luckily not all. He wanted the crown! He wanted to be the full ruler of this world, clearly he didn't claim the title, as I am still here.

But he did go into hiding still trying to turn every unlucky soul who walks into the woods. This is also when I decided I needed help. When I would every hundred years or so choose someone to help me rule and protect the kingdom! Which further proves the old saying; everything happens for a reason, even though the reason may not be always clear." The wise owl spoke.

"That sounds terrible! There seems never be peace in any world apparently! Well at least we're here, we can try to help." I said after.

"Ya I'll definitely try to help! I'm not gonna come to a new world and not have a little adventure!" Emily spoke joyfully.

We all laughed. Even though there is a little bad in this world, I think I'm going to like it here!
