Chapter 42: Our Homecoming

The cyclonic whirlpool veered onto the shores of a lake and spat us out. I looked around a little dazed from the whirling vortex. But I was happy to be back, and with Narissa by my side.

*Where are we?*

It seemed quiet and isolated. I was thankful for that though, or we'd have people treating us like aliens. We walked around a little until we saw a group of people enjoying a picnic. I walked up to them and asked them where we were.

They looked at me like I was high on some hallucinogenic substance and laughed. We must have looked strange to be honest.

We were carrying boxes, unaware of where we were. Narissa was wearing clothes that looked like they belonged to another era. Fairy fashion wasn't quite in sync with modern day styles in our universe. To top it, it was cold, and we weren't wearing anything warm.

"This is the Prospect Park Lake," one girl finally answered.

I thanked her and we walked on. But I could hear them still jeering at us.
