A small brown-haired boy is sitting inside of his family’s wagon. Pulled slowly by two strong horses, the rickety cart rolls along a dirt road. Restless from being kept in the cart for so long, the boy peeks his head out from under the cloth covering the wagon . “Irvin, be careful! I don’t want you to fall out of the cart.” The boy’s grandmother scolds. She is an older woman, resting in the back of the wagon and knitting a small tunic. “The Archmage won’t let us hear the end of it if his only son were to fall out a cart and break his neck!”
Irvin doesn’t reply, but instead just stares in awe at what lie ahead of the cart. Laid out before him was an enourmous Arch the like of which he had never seen before. The air underneath the massive arch shimmered with a navy blue light. “We’re almost there, now.” The scruffy old man driving the cart yells back. “Just through that gate and we’ll arrive… At The Nexus.”
The cart slowly rolls through the gate. The boy feels a slight tingling sensation as they pass through the mass of magical energy. Irvin blinks a few times and rubs his eyes. The landscape ahead of him had shifted.
The tall grass begins to curl up and die, and where there used to be rich life only desolation remained. The outline of a small city can be seen in the distance, with huge steam engines and large gears turning. Nearby the city rests the ruins of a toppled skyscraper. And darkening the sky rests a single gigantic alien flagship.
Irvin, still awestruck mutters to the old man driving the wagon “We’re not in Velonia anymore, are we Grandpa?” The old man remains silent for a moment before muttering “No, Irvin. We’re in a whole new world.”
