"The next morning, I wake up unusually energized. I sit up and see Her sitting across the room, in a rocking chair, writing in a book, and occasionally looking up at me. “Good morning, sleeping beauty,” She said in a somewhat sarcastic tone. “G-good morning,” I said, curious as to what She was writing about. She closed her book as soon as I got up. Ok, I thought, maybe She just doesn’t want me to know. She looked at me and smiled, “I’m so glad you’re here,” She said. “Why?” I asked her. “I’ve been waiting here for years, waiting for someone to enter this realm,” She said, her eyes sparkling. “Why?” I asked again. “There’s this legend. ‘In order to leave here, two must be here.’ When I was 12 years old, I discovered this glowing orb, and I followed it to a Portal. Being the dumb teen I was, I decided to enter. Haven’t left this place ever since. That was about 10 years ago. I managed to build a little hut here, and I’ve been waiting for someone to make the same mistake. Finally, after 10 long years, you showed up,” She explained. “So… how do we leave this place?” I asked. She got up, grabbed me by the hand, and took me to another room. In that room stood a small structure that looked exactly like the portal I went through. “This is The Portal,” She said, “I built it while I waited for someone to come to the Noisrevni.” “How do we turn it on?” I asked. “We have to kiss in order for the Portal to activate,” She said looking me straight in the eyes, smiling. There was an awkward pause, I looked down. She laughed and said, “Nah, I’m just playing with you! We both have to drink this at the same time in order to activate it.” She handed me a bottle that looked like it had Gatorade in it. “Are you ready?” She asked me, unscrewing the cap from Her bottle. I started to unscrew the cap on mine. “Ready as I’ll ever be, I suppose,” I said."
