***“It’s not a black hole. It’s time travel, isn’t it! I traveled into the past.
And there really was magic in the past!” “It involves time, but not in the way you think.” He dropped his elbows onto the scarred wooden table.
“I assume we’re going to do this now?” “Yes. I can wait on the nap.
I need to know, Jack. Please tell me what’s happened to me and where I am. I’m ready to hear everything.”
“Are you certain?” “Absolutely.” He got straight to the point.
“You’re from Earth, a place called, what, Mary’s land?” “Vermont originally, but as of late, Maryland. I’m assuming you are not?”
“I’m from a kingdom called Alba.” “So you said. If it’s where I suspect it is, we now call it Scotland.”
“Perhaps. It’s far from here. Across the waters.”
“And where is here?” “We are currently in the southern part of the kingdom of Wandeer, in Elatyria.” “Elatyria?”
“Our name for this planet.” “So I was right, this isn’t Earth. I’ve been abducted by aliens.”
“I’m not an alien, lass, I’m as human as you. And you were not abducted. It appears you wandered here all on your own.”
He frowned. “I have an idea how that happened, and it’s not good news for the rest of the lands.” She ignored that part.
“I see. So, we’re on another planet populated by human beings who evolved just like Earthlings did.” He chuckled.
“No, same planet. I’m as much a part it as you are.” She shook her head and sighed heavily.
“I am trying so hard to understand this. You’re saying I did not leave Earth?” “No, you didn’t leave your Earth.”
“Then where’s Elatyria?” “This is the same planet.” “So what, then?
I went down a cavern, traveled through a trail of rock, and came up to another country altogether, one I’ve never heard of before? Is that what you’re telling me?” Offering her a gentle smile, he shook his head.
He kept his voice even, as if knowing the words he was about to say would shock her. “No, lass. You are very close to where you came from.
Some say we’re separated by only the tiniest sliver of space, so thin you can almost see through it.” “I don’t understand.” “Allie, I’m saying ye came up through that hole into another reality altogether.”
