Hidden behind a red cloth emblazoned with a fire symbol and across moving stepping stones in a large cavern with a lake lies a small rundown cottage. One can't enter the building through the front door however. Would just make things too simple, right? Thus the gaping hole in the wall that one must enter through. Stepping through the hole now, one would find the room that the normal resident of the place kept as neat and orderly as possible in absolute shambles.
Books were strewn every which way in the small one room house and the tables had been knocked over as if a mini tornado had ripped through the place. The wizard and the fairy godmother were nowhere to be seen at the moment, so the intruder in their home had been free to rather accidentally ruin it. The intruder didn't know that they were ruining someone's home however. They just thought it was some sort of abandoned library.
The intruder, a female of the age of 17, had been rather rudely chased into the wizard's humble cavern by a group of heartless. Simple shadows and soldier heartless, but they were scary little buggers! And there were a lot of them too! Her traveling companion wouldn't be able to handle them, would he? Thus she had grabbed her small companion and booked it, barely making it over the moving rocks without falling in. In her mad dash to get away from the heartless that had, by the time she made it across, pretty much given up on her, she ran right through the house and crashed into just about everything in there. One avalanche of books later, and the incompetent summoner was buried beneath books.
Dorothy, said failure of a summoner, had finally managed to pull most of her body out of what could have been her death by literature when she spotted an odd book lying on the ground in front of her. It wasn't odd because it gave her a strange feeling. It also wasn't odd that it looked like a children's novel amongst all kinds of adult books. Heck, it wasn't even odd that her pet dog and 'dangerous' summon Toto had escaped the books on his own and was chewing on the book.
Nah, it had to be the fact that the book was TALKING.
Amber eyes went open wide as the book, though muffled because the book was closed, began speaking. "Oooooh! Cooooool! I usually don't like books but...if it talks, maybe I don't even have to read!" the childish girl grinned before crawling forward and grabbing the book. However she found that as she opened it, instead of finding words to read or the speaker or even the talking voice continuing the story, she found herself extremely tiny and standing right on top of the book.
This new predicament received a tilt of the head from the pretty maiden. "Weird. I thought I was in front of the book and opening it. Not standing on it. Oh well. But...where's To-" Dorothy started before the dog in question promptly landed on her head from above. "OWWWWWW!" the girl whined in slightly pain as she stumbled backward toward one of the pictures in the book. It appeared to be a partially destroyed clearing type of area. Of course, Dorothy didn't notice as she stumbled right toward it. Ever the faithful dog, Toto tried to stop her from heading toward the strange picture by dashing toward her to bite her leg and attempt to drag her back, but he was too slow. Dorothy fell backwards into the picture and Toto, unable to stop his run, slid right in after her.
Another random worldly teleportation later and Dorothy was faced with quite the spectacle once she noticed her surroundings were no longer the confines of the book. A partially burned out forest, a guy with no features whatsoever, and a girl attempting to strangle the guy was what greeted the girl here. Hoping she had yet to be spotted, even though she wasn't really hidden at all, she turned her head to Toto and whispered to the dog as though he could talk back. "Iunno what's going on here Toto, but we gotta break this up before something gets hurt. You ready? I think I remember one of those magic phrases that the Wizard of Ox told me!" Dorothy whispered quietly as possible. The dog nodded and turned its head toward the strangling girl, ready and waiting for the word.
Standing, Dorothy pointed one finger at strangly girl and shouted one word: "THUNDERBOLT!" For a few seconds nothing happened and Dorothy almost second guessed herself about the word she said, but suddenly Toto opened his mouth wide and out shot a straight beam of electrical energy headed straight for strangly girl. Should it hit her, it was likely that some of the electrical discharge would shoot into outline man as well. Dorothy hoped the attack would stun them both into a state where they could talk to each other instead of strangling. I mean, come on? Who would take that attack and get right back up?
(Sorry if it's bad ><)
