Strange Things Were Happening

Strange things were happening. Well, not exactly strange, I suppose, but unusual. Abnormal maybe, but not exactly strange. No, definitely not strange. Different, odd, out of character? Perhaps. By now you may be wondering who I am, no? I am a voice, the voice that is to tell your story today.
Might I begin with a gooday? Well then, gooday.
Now, our story takes place in a small town called Rupellis. Yes, strange name-no not strange, odd perhaps. Anywho, Rupellis was the home of our Hero, a twelve year old girl called Ayla (A-luh). Sweet girl, petite, rather plump, not exactly pretty, very thin blonde hair. Now you have the general outline. Anyway, she will be the hero of our story soon to come.
What abnormal things had been happening? You have a right to wonder. The portals had been opening, you see. What portals? Goodness, you do not realize how difficult being an All Knowing Spirit can be! The portals to , as it is known in the ancient text. If your inferior minds (no offense) can not process this, in the human world (or as for you, the reader, who are most likely now the only living humans who know of this world), it will be called Quanlai (ca-win-lay).
Now, let us begin with Ayla’s past.

I love this, Falling Leaves! The title is what instantly grabbed my attention. How interesting! And how you begin your tale---very original. I like it because I can hear you talking. You write I imagine just how you speak, am I right? And you leave me on a cliffhanger, wandering who Ayla is, what it is like in the world of Quanlai.

I started writing at about your age. And like you I made up my own world called Noclemi. Isn't it fun making up your own little world? You can make it whatever you want, and it can take you wherever you want to go.

I like it already. Please keep writing it. I would love to read more.

Ha! I find it extremely amusing. I like the way you worded things. Makes me laugh and go hee hee and then ha ha.

Question: how did you get your picture so LARGE.

Hey Taylor! Where were you, on a desert island?

Thanks to both of you! I've been trying to make my own little world for a long time and finally this one came to me! I'm so glad y'all like it!!!!

You're the second person to ask me that, Hannah! I have no idea. It doesn't seem any bigger than yours to me.....

What I want to know is, portals from where?

The portals are to and from the same place, just different areas.
