Something about it filled the heart with overwhelming joy. It was as if it could reach out and embrace you in a warm hug, and draw you closer and closer to it. It could draw you straight into the hearth of the oven, if only you had been given the chance to take its treasure.
The little lady hummed softly to herself like a joyous bird. Her hands reach out and withdraw the cookies from a tray on the rack, and safely place it on the range. They were a sight to behold, the soft, gleaming golden brown surface freckled with dots of chocolate in unordered, deliciously wild fashion. But, then something flashed.
It was in the corner of her eye, the dim, momentary glow of light from an amulet sat on the table nearby, where stacks upon stacks of books, journals and tomes lie. Their seams told different tales; in fact, some were fairy tales while others covered 'portals' and 'telekinesis' or 'telepathy.' She thought long about it for a moment, and then turned to take ahold of the amulet. Pocketing it, she used telekinesis to sort the cookies into an opened jar on the table and pack away her books and belongings into crates. She knew that the light's call was going to mean a long time spent elsewhere from this world, and she would need to prepare for it.
Finally, looking around the small den where she had gathered up her luggage, clothing, brushes, books and all, the small woman lets out a sigh and brushes a hand through her hair. Then, she reaches for her saber, which glowered with a mystical tint, and whipped it up and then down, channeling energy into the air which forced a portal to open unto another world. She began carefully tossing her crates through the portal, before pausing a moment.
Something was missing, she thought, as she looked around the quiet, picturesque room. She steps away from the portal, and kneels down to hold a large, gray cat close to her chest. She smiled, turned, holding her companion, and marched through the portal.
Joanna was headed home.
Hi, I'm Dan.
