1 Throne Alternate

I wake up to a loud crack against my window. Glancing over slowly, I rub the sleep out of my eyes and go to the window. Down below is Thomas, my childhood friend, "Did he really just throw a rock at my window?", I whisper to myself as I give him a stern look. I lift up the window cautiously in fear that he might throw another rock. I call out too him, "Why are you here this late? We have school in the morning." Thomas looks up and shouts urgently, "Dylan, you need to come down here now, it's important."

Without hesitation, I rummage through my room grabbing my jacket, wallet, and other necessities. I've never known Thomas to joke about an important situation, so this must be something big. While working my way down the stairs there's a loud boom in the distance and the house starts violently shaking. "What the hell was that!", I shout as Thomas stumbles over to me and pulls out something that looks to be a piece of chalk. I watch him as he takes the chalk in a rushed manner and starts drawing a door on the wall, "I'll explain once we are in."

Slowly, once the door is complete, a glowing blue light starts to form in the center and spread out. "I really don't understand what this is, but I need to make sure the rest of my family is okay." Thomas shoves me into it, saying, "There's no time for that right now. We can return later, after all, we are the reason the world collapsed to begin with."
