Chapter 4

What's the problem?

What's The Manna?

"What do you mean 'Issue'?!" Sonia barked, narrowing her eyes. "You brought me here, you can send me back!"

"See, the thing is..." The Woman said awkwardly, letting out a sheepish chuckle. "This spell is really hard to master, and uses up a large amount of manna in order to pull someone from another universe. And I'm... Kinda the weakest magic user in Anucion's history, so my magic is drained completely."

"Fine! Whatever! I'll wait!" Sonia said in exasperation, shaking her head. "How long does it take for you to recharge?"

"How long does it take for me to 'What'?"

"Recharge! You know, get your manna back?!"

The Woman gulped nervously, letting out another sheepish chuckle as she looked down at her feet. "Well, with that spell requiring all the manna it did, it would take approximately..." The woman mumbled under her breath.

"'It would take approximately' how long?" Sonia asked, narrowing her eyes and arching an eyebrow.

"Approximately two to three..." The Woman said, muttering the rest under her breath.

"'Two to three' what? Hours? Days?!"

The Woman cleared her throat and smiled sheepishly as she said, "Weeks."

Sonia's eye began to twitch for a few seconds before a small chuckle escaped her lips. "I... I'm sorry." She said, shaking her head. "Did you just say that I'm stuck in this strange universe... FOR THREE WEEKS?!"

"Well, two to three, but -"

"I can not believe this!"

"Please, try to calm down."

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?!" Sonia exclaimed. "I am wet. I am naked. I am covered in soap suds. And now I'm stuck in some Dungeons and Dragons universe for three weeks because a talentless loser wanted to perform magic tricks for her geeky Hogwarts friends. And you're honestly telling me to calm the hell down, Ms. .... ?!"

"I am Elizabeth Winifred Excalibur XXV. Heiress to the powerful Excalibur lineage of sorcerers and sorceresses." The Woman said with a slight bow. After a few seconds, she added, "But my friends call me 'Lizzie'."

"Sonia." Sonia introduced herself grumpily.

"Okay, Ms. Sonia." Lizzie said, "Firstly, I can tell your stressed out, so I will overlook the 'talentless loser' comment for now. Second, I... Have no idea what you're even talking about with this 'Dungeons and Dragons' or 'Hogwarts' nonsense. Especially since I attend the prestige magic university, Aardvark Spleen."

"Yeah, because that sounds incredibly less stupid than 'Hogwarts'..." Sonia muttered sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She then sighed and asked, "Look, if I'm gonna be stuck here for two to three weeks, can I at least get, like, a towel or something to wear? I can't just prance around naked, you know?"

"Well, see, that's another issue..."

"Oh, what now?!"

Before Lizzie could explain, a loud, ear-piercing shriek rang out through the forest.

"What the hell was that?!" Sonia screamed.

"Crap! That's the bell!" Lizzie exclaimed as she grabbed Sonia's wrist and dragged her along. "I'll explain later!"

"Wait! Stop! What are - Where are you taking me?!"

Where is Lizzie taking Sonia?
