Now, both Meghan and Lucas are in this world called Vortex, as I covered in the very first chapter of this extraordinary story.

Lucas was heading down to the town shop so he could but a newspaper to see if the president was okay, while Meghan was watching it on her television. He's going to live, he'll just have huge burns all over his body. Right after that happened, Lucas and Meghan both went to their local park, arriving around the same time as each other, and wading in the water. Letting the coldness overcome them. And then that damn rock flew over and hit them. At the same time.

How they got there is rather interesting, actually. All that had to be done to get Lucas into Vortex was say his mother wanted to meet him at the Vortex portal and then throw him in. Simple, yes? Well, Meghan on the other hand, needed to be mind-controlled into going in the 'sketchy looking' portal. But, who cares how they got in, what matters is that they got there safely and can compete in The Dragon Cup.

After arriving in the small village by the portal, everyone that knew of them got excited to see the two. Both Meghan and Lucas got confused at their excitement, minutes ago they were at the park and now they're here with these mysterious beings. Meghan's mind control wore off and she started panicking, soon to be stopped when they saw the next building, the candy shop. They smelled the fragrant scent of chocolate filled the air as they walked passed the candy shop. Both being sure to look in at the candies and breath the amazing aroma in as they're walking by, too.

Completely forgetting about their old homes, they are led to a building, most likely a hotel but Meghan nor Lucas could tell. They are given a room, just one, with two beds. "I call this one." Meghan exclaims while pointing to the bed with a turquoise blanket.
Lucas sighs and takes the one with the emerald green blanket. Not like he cared anyway.

After they got settled in, the wizards who led Meghan and Lucas to this place picked them up again and took them out to look around the village. They decided to start with what they were doing here, as in, what was their purpose upon the land.

"So, Meghan, down here in Vortex things are different." says a short and chubby man with a beard covered in crumbs, enough to eat tomorrow at supper.

"How so?" she asks, kind of sarcastic because obviously it is different.

"Well, you see, down here we are all considered equals. There's no 'popular' and whatnot. There is only Vortex. Understand?"

"Yeah," Meghan says before turning away.

The man with Lucas was having the same, but different, discussion.

"Hey now, Lucas, errr uhhh, you have to keep your problems with your mum a secret. See 'ere now, if people of Vortex know they might question you about her. You mustn't have that. You'll understand soon enough." This time the man is tall and skinny, like a pop-tart with no frosting, or sprinkles.

"Why would I want to talk about her anyway?" Lucas asks.

"Jus' keep 'er to yer-self, yeah?"

"Okay," and with that the conversion concluded.
