The Hall of the Chosen

Richard opened his eyes and saw he was longer in his bedroom back at his house, instead a room with ceilings so high Richard thought there could have been clouds in here. The entire place was lit with a slightly blue tinged light which, Richard noticed, was coming from blue balls of flames floating throughout the air above him. The room itself was short on the sides but long, lasting probably about the length of a football field. What wasn't made out of marble, was made out of gold that seemed to have a slight glow to it.

His eyes finally making there way back to what was in front of him he saw a beautiful girl. She was about 22 years old with long dark brown hair, so dark in fact that it could have been considered black, piercing silver eyes and a great big warm smile that instantly melted away any fear that was still inside of Richard. She stood as tall as Richard at six feet, meeting his eyes as she held out her arms.

"Welcome to The Hall of the Chosen" she said graciously. "Sorry about the rough ride here, I know it can be sickening the first time."

"I... I'm fine" Richard stammered. "What is this place? And who are you?"

"Both are great questions, I'm sure you wouldn't know about our history growing up surrounded by muggles." Before Richard had a chance to ask what in the world a muggle was she answered him "Non-magical people."

"But I'm not magical, I work as a developer and live paycheck to paycheck, don't you think if I had powers I would be able to make a better life for myself?"

"Your powers only just really started manifesting just a couple days ago, that's how the ring found you and we found you."

"What do you mean, the ring found me? I found it, it was in a local pawn shop I go to every week." Richard said, confused.

"Here walk with me and I'll answer all the questions you have, but we have somewhere to be." The lady said, as she turned towards the wall, waving her hand next to a column and a door appeared out of nowhere from the marble.

A.N. Sorry I wasn't able to write for a while guys, I'm going to be continuing the story line more now. Was swamped at work but should be good to go now!
