I turned around to look at everything, we were in a large clearing surrounded by huge, and obviously ancient trees. The sun was high in the sky, but it wasn't the color I was used to - it was - bluish, sort of.
As I looked at the spot I had been lying just moments before I noticed a bag ... My backpack? Even the word seemed strange to me now! Why?
I rushed over, picked my backpack up and unzipped it. I immediatel found three books - one was a little gold book that I remember - Lar ... (Was it Lar?) had given us. There was another one, with runes on it that just said DQueene, that I wanted to wait to open. For some reason, I felt that if I opened either of those two books I had taken steps that I could never take back.
The last book was just a journal with blank pages. "I must write down everything I remember of 'before'." My past life was assuming the feeling of a dream - and I knew if I didn't write it down I would forget it, and I didn't want to forget. I sat down by the girl Kiya and started scribbling frantically.
