Falling to a New World
He looked around from the place he had fallen. He was in the middle of a wood, trees surrounding him all going upwards. There were thorny bushes all around and he had scratches all over his arms and face from the fall. There was no way out, he couldn't see a clear opening to escape the place he was in, unless he wanted to go through those bushes again. Why had he listened to his friends? They had asked him to go down the hill on a tube to see how far he'd go, they hadn't realized how far it went and that there was no way back up. He swore under his breath wishing he would have thought things through. He wondered if they would go find help, but until then he'd have to find a way out on his own. He began to search his surroundings and see if he could somehow get out. Suddenly his leg fell through a deep hole in the ground. "Great," he thought. "Now my leg is stuck." He pulled away from the whole as hard as he could and finally yanked it out. He staggered and fell back. He was about to swear again when he saw smoke rising out of the hole. He gaped in awe wondering what it was. Then he heard a voice. "Who dares to wake me in my slumber?" He shook with fear at the voice for it was full of power and enchantment, making him unable to move or speak. The voice then repeated, "Who are you to wake me? How did you come across my beloved home?" This time he answered but with a quievring voice. "I did not know you were here uh sir, I fell from the top of the hill and got stuck in your hole...er home." The voice did not speak for a few moments then suddenly he saw a claw stretch out of the hole and slowly climb out. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. It looked like a small dragon! "Y-you're a d-dragon!" "Yesss," He replied, "I am and you have woken me in my slumber. For that you must now repay for it is a sin to wake a dragon. You will have to repay me and forever be my servant." With that he grabbed the boy by his ankle and dragged him down to his hole, where a new world could be found.
