As Thenza awoke he Thought that today was going to be a normal day. But as he went downstairs he realized something was wrong as his mother was staring wide-eyed at the Television.

“What’s wrong?” Thenza inquired.

“4 people just disappeared this morning all at 8:42” she replied worriedly

“gee that’s creepy, does anyone know where they wound up?” he asked.

“no one knows it’s like they just vanished off the face of the earth. Reports have been saying that they started floating and then just disappeared” she said.

“Well anyway, I’m going to go to Rothan’s House!” He called to his mother.

“Be careful!” His mother called.

“Sure thing” Thenza called back.

As Thenza walked out of his house and on to Mythral avenue he thought about his friends, were they ok? what if one of them got hurt? He wouldn’t be able to take that, wanting to make sure that his friends were ok he started running as fast as he could be using his element.

“come on, Come On” he pleaded

He ran as fast as he could all the way until he made it to Rothan’s house

As he reached for the door handle it swung open and Thenza was greeted by a smirking face.

“Hi Thenza, In a rush?” Rothan asked.

“Oh thank Anthral you’re ok” Thenza answered in evident relief.

“Don’t worry I’m fine, let me guess it’s about the disappearances this morning?” Rothan Questioned.

“You got it, do you know whether or not the others are ok?” Thenza inquired.

“No need to worry their all fine. Now shall we do something?” Rothan asked.

“Yeah, wanna meet up with the rest of the group?” Thenza inquired.

“Yeah let’s go” Rothan finalized.

As they walked along the path They got a tingling feeling running up their arms and in a split second they were up, floating in the air. Panicking and not knowing what to do they both tried to break free. but to no avail. They were held fast in place and then possibly the scariest thing that ever happened to Thenza unfolded.

“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH” Thenza screamed as he imploded into simple black

“ok Thenza calm down, now where are you?” Thenza spoke to himself for reassurance.

He looked around, he observed… Nothing, only pitch black, he then figured out that he was weightless but yet held in place and unable to move

What felt like hours of silence passed.

“Am I dead?” he asked aloud to himself.

As he pondered what to do he was ripped out of that black void and was levitated onto a stone bed covered with light green vines and leaves it was comfortable.

Thenza looked around to observe his new surroundings, there was warm golden light bathing the room in a heavenly glow there were four other beds each containing…

“Lucia, Rothan! And someone we don’t know” Thenza yelled in surprise.

They all sat up with a surprised look on their face.

“Who are you?” Thenza directed a question at the unknown child.

“My name is Teflon, I’m nine and have an element of lightning, anything else you need to know?” Teflon replied

“Um ok, do you know where we are?” Thenza asked

“Of course, this was my former home,” Teflon answered

“The guy who owns this place is my father… he isn’t a nice man.” Teflon continued.

“What do you mean?” Lucia chimed in.

“Well I mean this place has the power to abduct 120 people from all the realms in this universe. Two teams of four people from all the 15 realms in-”

“Hang on, but are you part of one of those realms?” Lucia interrupted

“No, He just probably chucked me into this as a filler for a team and that team appears to be you.” Teflon explained

“Ah well.” Lucia ended the conversation

“At least we’re together” Thenza continued trying to put a positive spin on a bad situation

“Thenza, shut up and help us figure out where we are and what to do to get back” Lucia snapped from her stone bed

Before Thenza got a chance to reply to a misty image of a man appeared out of thin air

“Greetings” the unknown man calmly said

“Who… is that?” Thenza leaned over and whispered to Rothan.

“How am I supposed to know?” Rothan replied

Teflon looked at the unknown man in absolute horror

“That’s, my father!”

Rothan sprung up in front of the man.

“Why have you taken us here?” Rothan shouted at the man

“Ah well, per every thousand years, I am running a tournament to decide who the next successor to this house of control will be! Remember you might just win! now Shut Up!”

Rothan hastily backed away from the evidently furious man

“Father, why am I in this?” Teflon quickly stood up and asked.

“Ahh, Teflon it’s because I needed a bit of… A filler.” the man replied.

How cruel can you be? Throwing your own son into a tournament of inter-realm death!” Thenza stuck up for Teflon.

Ignoring Thenza the mysterious man turned his back on Thenza and started walking.

“Good luck!” he mockingly called as he dispersed into smoke.

“Ok Teflon, we're going to need some more information” Thenza turned to Teflon.

“Sure…his real name is Salvador… Salvador Diablo.” Teflon explained

“so is that your Last name too?” Thenza inquired.

“Look I’d prefer it if you just referred to me as Teflon” Teflon quietly said.

“Ahh, touchy subject” Thenza inferred.

And they all were lifted up into the air and teleported into the empty inky blackness once again.
