Leo found himself standing on the edge of a massive jungle beneath a purple sky.
Strange birds circled overhead. Giant trees twisted like living towers. In the distance stood ruins shaped like broken crowns.
"Welcome," said a voice.
Leo turned to see a girl about his age, holding a silver spear.
"My name is Aria," she said. "You must be the next one."
"Next what?" Leo asked.
She studied him carefully.
"The next Adventure King."
Leo blinked.
"That's not a real thing."
Aria pointed toward the jungle.
"Tell that to the creatures waiting inside."
A roar echoed through the trees.
Leo smiled nervously.
Finally.
Adventure.
