Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
The day started like any other. I got up, took a shower, and got ready for work. But as I was getting ready, I felt a sudden tug at my heart. I couldn’t shake the feeling, so I decided to follow the feeling. I found myself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by nothing but trees and grass. I was about to walk off when I saw a small, green light in the distance. I approached it and found that it was a portal. I stepped through and found myself in a mystical world.
The first thing I saw was a castle. As I got closer, I saw that it was made out of light. I went up to the door and found that it was just ajar. I stepped inside and found myself in a large, circular room. In the center of the room was a throne made out of light. I walked up to it and found that it was just a hologram. I turned around and saw a statue of a woman. I walked up to it and found that it was made out of light as well. I looked around the room and found that everything was made out of light.
As I was looking around, I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw a woman in a white dress. She had long, white hair and blue eyes. She looked at me and smiled.
“Welcome to my world,” she said.
“My name is Ryan,” I said.
“I know,” she said. “You are the first person to ever visit my world.”
“What is this place?” I asked.
“It is called the Light Realm,” she said. “It is a place where magic is real. Here, you can find anything you desire.”
“Anything?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “Anything.”
“Can I stay here?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “This is your home now.”
I thanked her and left the Light Realm. I spent the rest of the day exploring the realm, finding everything I ever wanted. I even found a way to come back to the Light Realm whenever I wanted. I was happy in my new home, until one day…
I was sitting in my throne, enjoying my world, when I suddenly felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw a man in a white suit. He had long, brown hair and green eyes.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“My name is Morgan,” he said. “I am here to take you away from this paradise.”
“What do you want from me?” I asked.
“I want your power,” he said. “Your magic is the key to my victory.”
“I don’t have any magic,” I said.
“You are lying,” he said. “You are a liar and a cheat. You will give me your power or you will suffer.”
“I don’t have any magic,” I said again.
“You are lying,” he said. “You will give me your power or you will die.”
“I don’t have any magic,” I said for the last time.
Morgan pulled out a blade and attacked me. I tried to fight back, but I was no match for him. He stabbed me in the chest, killing me instantly. As I died, I realized that I was wrong. I did have magic. I just didn’t know it.
