The Causeway, Friday Morning
Dec. 30th, 2011 12:30 amOne moment all was fire, the next, Anna was falling again, then landing with a thump at the mouth of the causeway. She scrambled to her feet just in time to see the portal she'd just come through wink out of existence, and to hear a cheerful voice say, "Thank you for choosing Portalocity!"
"What?" she asked the air. "I didn't choose anything! Where am I?" And what was a Portalocity?
She took two steps onto the causeway before running smack into an invisible barrier. She couldn't go another step. She didn't know if it was a ward, or a curse, or what (Could you even ward a bridge? She had no idea.), but it was there, and it was keeping her in. So she turned and looked toward what appeared to be a castle. Maybe there were answers to be had there.
((And Anna is now on the island! Establishy, unless someone wants to notice Anna on her way to the picnic!))
