Book Excerpts
Instantly, as they passed through the
opening, the air around them felt thick and humid. Killian could feel Mercedes'
body move closer into his as the matter around them seemed to threaten their
air supply. The unpleasant feeling was coming to a point that was hard to
bear. Coming from behind them they heard the powerful force of the portal
suctioning them back toward the opening.
Suddenly the world around them fell silent.
The powerful suction ceased and calm surrounded them. Killian and Mercedes
seemed to stay airborne for a small moment before falling; their feet crunching
onto a steel walkway. Killian groaned as his leg seared in pain. Mercedes cried
out when the shining steel splattered with her blood from landing on her
injured arm. The fall was only two feet at most, but Killian had been sure he
was plummeting to his death. Releasing the breath he had held in the entire
time through the portal, he looked around, trying to take in their surroundings.
The sky was different. It was full of
brilliant blues, dazzling reds, and radiant greens. All the colors swirled
together against a back drop of an ebony universe littered with stars. In the
center of the magnificent sky was a glowing orb. It shone brightly and warmed
their faces. The same hues of the sky swirled in beautiful patterns in the
large, gaseous sun emitting a soft lavender hue. All around them were plants
and bright foliage. The flowers that stood out amongst the green plants were
tall and brilliant with rainbow patterns along their petals. The plants didn't
seem to fit any botanical design he had ever imagined; they seemed to be a
cross between tropical and woodland shrubs.
The colorful sky reflected off an enormous
building directly in front of them. Killian marveled at the unbelievable
structure towering in the center of the magnificent garden. It was one of the
strangest buildings he had ever seen, made of glass and beautiful, smooth
steel. Huge beams jutted out at unique angles with enormous glass windows
randomly scattered between the steel. The building reminded Killian of a block
game he had played as a child with the objective to leave the tower standing as
long as possible while removing blocks and re-stacking them on top. The large
windows created translucent openings between the steel beams causing some
concern inside whether the building would topple as the blocks had.
