Tumblr Academy reimagined

I watched both of them. "For someone who was born in a forest, I'm not very good with them. I was in a small village, so I always had a wooden roof over my head."

I thought back to my home. "I was born and raised in a small village, though I always preferred nature. When I became an apprentice ranger it was a great fit, lots of exploring, that kind of thing," I said. "You become good at things after doing them lots, and I've done lots of camping, though usually not leisurely camping. More of staying up half the night, watching your back because someone could find you and kill you, that kind of camping," I added casually.

"They're pretty big."

I nodded. "I've done stuff like that before."

"The tents, or forests?" I asked Olivia. She'd been pretty vague. I turned back to Alasitar. "I've done lots of it. It's a ranger's job. We track threats to the kingdom and take care of them, whether it be arresting thieves or stopping assassins."

I nodded. "I know a few queen, and several princes and princesses."

"Our worlds sound somewhat similar, though they are probably run quite differently."

"I'm divided by two worlds. One, which is more like yours, and one which is entirely different."

"Huh," I said slowly. I didn't understand what he'd meant, but decided to just accept it and move on.

I looked down at my hands. I thought of the two different lives I lead, both clashing in my head, sometimes confusing me.

I sighed quietly, thinking of my world. "Do you think time is passing by in our normal world, or would everything have just... stopped?" I asked slowly. If it was the first, than Caldwell and Bronze would be panicking. Just the thought made me feel bad, almost guilty. I didn't want to worry my horse and friend, or my mentor and father-figure, though I'd had no say in ending up here.

"Well, when I was ripped from my world the first time, then thrown back on accident, time was frozen, but that was because of a curse. However, the next time, it wasn't and time passed.

I paused. "So, is that a yes..?"

"Oh, definitely a yes."

((Staci, I'm 85% sure you have kakorrhaphiophobia.))

((The fear of failure?))
"Oh," I replied sadly. The thought of my mentor searching through the forest looking for me, then coming up to find Bronze without me riding him played in my mind. I lowered my head slowly, thinking about it. I didn't belong at this place. I needed to get back.

((Yep.))

I patted his back. "Don't worry, kid. You'll be fine." I looked at my pouch. "Hmm... I wonder." I reached into my bag for a book. I pulled out one called the Ranger's Apprentice. "Does this sound familiar to you?" I held it to him.

My eyes widened. "Yeah. How did you get something like this?"

"It's magic. I know a kid, Henry. He writes other people's stories. He wrote my story. Maybe someday, he'll write your true story. I just keep a bunch of books from a store with me at all times for events like this."

"Magic makes everything complicated and confusing," I muttered.

I laughed. "Don't I know it."

The more I thought about magic the more questions I came up with. "Would people with magical abilities be able to use them in worlds without magic?" I asked slowly.

"No. We need to enable magic, basically. I used to not be able to use magic here, then that was changed."

"How would you enable that? Wouldn't that be something that would require magic?"

"It's honestly a really long story, and not even I'm sure about how it all went down!"

"Huh." 
((I dunno how to have them continue talking or doing anything anymore... I'd like the plot to actually develop some... Blehhhh))
