"You're going to have to focus " Liam said for the first time since their arrival at the valley. "I'm trying." He cleared his mind again, like Miss. Eloise had instructed and the fire stayed after a few trials. "Good. That's progress. Now try to grow the fire. It doesn't require much... just focus again, and tell the fire what you desire it to do, and it'll obey you" Lance closed his eyes and tried again to focus. And for a moment, he wondered what was going on back at his place, if anyone still remembered him? His colleagues at work and the manager who had sacked him. That was just about everyone he knew in his life, after his parents left the world. Perhaps his parents had only transmigrated to another world? Like he had done... and he could find them? Maybe he only had to search for the world they were in and he'd find them. There was no need. A deep part of him knew they were gone forever. He tried to focus back on the task at hand, only he couldn't feel anything again."L

"The Article at the Library " Jodge said, looking excited at having gotten the class and Mr.Knap's attention on him. "Do you think you can show me this piece of article?" "Actually it was taken from me by the librarian, and she told me not to meddle with it again, as it was part of the restricted materials there and was not for use""She's right. You shouldn't read it, or be curious about it. The Eskern language was abolished for a reason. But to douse your curiosities and not leave you wandering about wanting to find out more about what is supposedly restricted... The meaning of this symbol was recovered sooner after the Great Battle. The leader of the Eskern Army revealed this when he was captured and tortured, and asked why they decided to resort to evil. It means *to behold and become the revelation.*... I bet your article must have been talking about the Great Battle. " Jodge nodded even though it wasn't a question. Mr.Knap reviewed him, as if actually looking at him for the

The enormous beast was a dinosaur and it roared so mightily that the ground shook with it. The atmosphere had gone into hysteria, the students screaming and scampering left and right. "Everybody take cover!!!..get behind me everyone" Mr. Chaney shouted, taking out his wand. Lance was a bit dazed at the magnanimity of the the dinosaur. In his world these creatures had just been myths, fiction stories from novels. Never in the world could he have believed they existed and were this huge. It was easy to believe their necks reached the sky. What in the world was the boy thinking to have thought to the world of dinosaurs? Lance made a mental note to ask him, if at all they even survived this. Mr. Chaney was creating Portals upon portals in every direction the beast aimlessly went,--stumping it's mighty foot and rumbling, it's voice like many thunders-- but it proved futile because the archaic beast seemed to know what he was up to and swerved away from each and every portal. Lance

“Let’s get going then” Glenda said. And they all went off towards the rear end of Fort A, where Mr. Chaney's office was located. Lance knocked on the metal door. “Come in” Said a familiar voice from inside. Lance thought it was funny he had associated that voice with dinosaurs and what not. He pushed the door open and they all walked inside. Inside was surprisingly well kept and lushly furnished. Unlike most lecturers offices that were left over to tardiness and dampness. “Good-afternoon Mr. Chaney” Lance said. The man looked up from his oak table filled with books. There were wooden ball-like globes rotating on a pivot stand. A full library of shelved books were to the right of the room. “Well, if it’s not the currently trending student.. and to what do I owe the pleasure?” “We wanted to take permission to go into Fort B valley”“And for? Another Jurassic adventure I presume?”“Nothing of the sort, Sir” He replied. We just wanted to practise the Nummix potion we were

"Strange? How.. sir?" He stuttered, anxiously. "I talked to your buddy last time, and he says he doesn't know anything about what's going on... neither had he seen any strange occurence" Professor Trevor closed the scroll he was writing on and tapped his steel pen lightly on a finger. "You see I believe there has been an incident as a result of the time continuum changing, that I'm not aware of... because something doesn't fit the equation. Something that ought to explain the current occurrences. "Lance's heart began it's rapid thudding again. His mouth had gone dry. "What...what doesn't fit the equation Sir? What has been happening?" Professor Trevor stared at him, his face grim but gentle and soft. His face was only hard due to age and the burden he had carried for years as head of institution. "It's nothing.. you should get back to your Fort." "But..but I'd like to know Sir...I'd like to know what's going on pls?" Lance said, wondering where exactly his boldness was coming from
