I headed towards where Chase said he would make the portal. It was quiet out, as it usually was, but more eerie since I was alone. I hadn’t truly been alone since I was here, and not outside. It was a strange thought to realize, as in the real world I had been so used to being alone. Here, I wasn’t even able to sit down long enough to gather my thoughts. I didn’t know if I should be doing this, but Chase was right. I should see what I would have to face. Then maybe I could prepare.

As I came to the entrance to the kingdom, I saw four figures just beyond the gate. Quickly, I hid and watched as Chase created the portal. Each of them stepped through it and after they disappeared, I ran and jumped through it before it closed.

It felt like a jolt of electricity running through my body. It differed from the portal that lead between worlds; it wasn’t a feeling of falling. No, this felt a lot different, as if disobeying the laws of physics. It was over in an instant, but my heart kept racing. That was freaky.

I peered around at my new surroundings and gasped. Giant circus tents stood before me. I had never seen something so fantastic. The striped colors ranged from red to purple, swirling in a majestic rainbow. In addition to this, performers crowded outside the tents, juggling, dancing, eating fire, and even balancing knives. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Yet, this is the evil causing all the darkness?

Crowds of people hurried towards the entrance of the tent. I noticed how they all had the same darkness clouding their face, just like the people I met earlier. Something here was indeed causing it and even so, people still wanted to participate.

I caught a glimpse of Malcolm and the others ahead of me. Even though I knew they would be mad at me for coming, I knew it wouldn’t be smart to separate from them. I just hoped they would forgive me.

As I hurried towards them, I notice that they had stopped in front of a man and as soon I was close enough, I felt something strange. It was dark, almost like…

Fear.

Could he be Morpheus? I shuddered at the thought, but there was this lingering feeling in the air, the same one I got before an exam or before a performance. It was definitely the escalating feeling of fear.

The man was average height, with a two-tailed suit and bow tie. The bow tie slowly changed color and I was almost in awe with it. I really wanted one. White gloves covered his hands and he held a black cane in his right hand. He also had on a black top hat covered in rainbow flowers that covered part of his brown hair. He looked like a ring master and that’s when I knew he had to be Morpheus.

“Well, well, it looks like you have a tagalong.” Morpheus grinned as he saw me.
