As they approached the portal , she could feel its energy coursing through her veins . Yet she was both excited and terrified of stepping through the glowing light .
Ryker , Lyra and Kael stood beside her full of determination . They had risked everything to help her and she was grateful .
" Are you ready ?" Ryker asked his eyes fixed on the portal .
Avery nodded , taking a deep breath . " I am ready ."
Together they stepped forward and the portal is energy swallowed them .She felt a strange feeling as if her sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system were being rearranged .
As they emerged on the other side Avery stumbled and her vision was blurring . On looking around she saw that they were back in her own world .
The four stood in the middle of a busy street surrounded by skyscrapers and honking cars . She felt relief wash over her followed by wonder .
" How did we get here ?" She asked as she turned to Ryker and the others .
Ryker smiled as his eyes shone with amusement . " The portal is secret ," he said . " With the right key it can take you anywhere ."
Avery is eyes narrowed as her mind raced with questions . What did Ryker mean by the "right key ?" And what other secrets lay hidden in the portal is mysterious energy ?
As she looked at Ryker , Lyra , and Kael , she knew that she had only scratched the surface of their story and there was more to this , magical world than she could ever imagine.
As they stood there surrounded by the sights and sounds of her own world she knew that she would never forget this journey and the adventure through the portal .
On turning to leave she noticed a strange figure watching them from across the street with piercing eyes and a familiar smile .
Avery is heart skipped a beat as she realized that Julian had followed them through the portal . What did he want . And how would Avery stop him ?
