Thread: Saviour of a world....sort of  (Maxy x SpellBinder)

Nate was nothing special, a typical, shy, 14 year old nerd. Nothing eventful ever happened in his life. He woke up, had a shower, ate his breakfast and went to school. There he was bullied, picked on, laughed at, as was normal for the nerds and geeks, though Nate didn't even assosciate much with any of the others either. And so he remained isolated, coming home, eating dinner as his parents either talked about work or argued. After that Nate would just go upstairs, spend a few hours on the internet, do his homework and go to bed. It had been that way as long as he could remember really, and he never expected it to be any different. All he expected was school to be replaced by college and then college to be replaced by work. He knew his life would never be anything special, that he would simply be yet another forgotten drone bumbling his way through life. Nate had long since accepted that, the thought didn't even depress him. If anything the plan brought some comfort to him...at least he knew what to expect from life. Tonight was a night just like any other. Nate had eaten dinner, his parents still downstairs discussing how their days at work had gone. They had briefly asked him about school, but as usual Nate had just smiled and said it had been fine. A lie of course, like every other day he had spent the day being bullied, but telling them would change nothing. They would be shocked, call the school, the school would give the bullies detention for a day or two then everything would start over again. It was pointless trying to change it, or getting angry or depressed about it. As usual, Nate was sat at his computer, browsing random internet sites. Varying between YouTube, computer game sites and the occasional porn website. Well, he was a teenage boy after all. It was getting late, Nate preparing to shut the computer down and retire to bed for the night at the usual time. However, just as he stood up and walked across his room, something strange happened. At first his computer seemed to turn back on, Nate blinking and turning around. Hm? But....I turned it off... The monitor was just showing a plain white, though when Nate took a single step towards it, the light suddenly became brighter, Nate raising an arm to shield his eyes from the light. Moments later, a wind started to kick up around the room. H-huh? Nate stepped back, but the wind kept getting stronger and stronger, seemingly swirling around him. Eventually, it became so strong that it knocked the boy off balance, then even lifted him up off the ground. His scream was cut short as he was suddenly sucked into the light, the wind suddenly stoppping and the light fading to nothing, leaving the room now empty, Nate having simply....vanished.... Nate groaned slightly as he started to wake. What happened...? He raised a hand to gently rub his head, his other hand going to the ground to push himself up, only to find....grass? He opened his eyes and blinked slightly, adjusting his glasses as he sat up. Grass....he was on grass....it was brightly lit too...daytime. What...? Nate looked around slowly, surrounded by trees....he seemed to be in a very small clearing in the middle of a forest. How...how did I get here...? Am I dreaming...? The boy slowly stood, biting his lip as he looked around. H-Hello?! He called out, hoping to try and attract attention to get help. Hello?! Can...can anyone hear me?!
