Jo sat on the balcony of her apartment and reread the letter once more. There was obviously some mistake here. There had to be. She had gone off her rocker. That could be the only explanation for a tiny green flying lizard flying through her open window and dropping the envelope into her lap. She shook her head and traced the neatly penned letter and the red wax seal that had closed it. There was an elegant "D" pressed into the wax. "Dispose of this letter or just let it sit...Do I want to see what happens?" She stopped herself. It was always bad luck to say 'what's the worst that could happen.'
She stood up and took the letter into the kitchen and flicked her lighter open. "Burn, baby, burn," She murmured and touched the flame to the corner of the parchment. It immediately went up in flames. Jo dropped the burning letter into the sink and let the ashes settle. Now to wait. She didn't have to wait long. A small orb of green/yellow light flashed across her vision. An orb of light rose from the drain in the sink and danced across the kitchen, sending swirling shadows all over the apartment. She took a step closer and impulsively reached for the orb of light.
A blinding white flash masked her sight for a brief moment. Disoriented, Jo fell to her knees in a desolate field. The dead grass crunched under her boots as she struggled to her feet. A voice out of nothing made her jump. "Hello, Miss. Glad you decided to join us." She looked around, confused. Her eyes landed on another flying lizard. This one was pink. "Miss? Are you alright?" The dragon cocked its head to the side and fluttered over to her, landing lightly on her shoulder. She fought the urge to shrug it off.
"y-yes. I'm fine. Where am I?" She asked the dragon and ran her fingers through her messy hair.
Not answering her, the dragon said, "please follow me to the waiting area. There you will be provided with further instructions." Jo nodded and followed the small pink dragon to a large waiting area full of plush sofas and chairs. There were a few people already sitting down. She sank down into the soft pillows of a large love seat. "holy crap," She muttered and looked around, trying to take everything in. This was too much.
