You found a door. It led you to a world that called out to your heart. You belonged here. You saved the world, or maybe you were destined to save the world. But something happened and you were sent home. Maybe you broke a law of the land or said you needed to say goodbye to your family before staying forever, or maybe you're a political exile, or there was some bad luck and you accidentally stumbled out past a light post. Any reason it is, you are stuck back in the world of your birth until you find your way back home, to your real home. In the meantime you are going to a school specially made just for children like you. The school is run by Elenor West, a woman who looks maybe 70 years old but supposedly is nearly 100 years old. She is just like you, she has a door and is waiting for a time when she can return home.
