Chosen. Again. by J. Emery

She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance. At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero.

It never forgot her either, and now thirteen years later, she's back. Drafted into the role of Champion once more, Ari discovers that magic doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

I wake up the next morning to the sounds a scuffling around me. Elves! There are elves rummaging through our things! This trip just keeps getting better and better. Heather and I both jump up ready to take on these elves. I've had enough of people stealing my things.

I pick up a book that somehow feels familiar? The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is clearly among my things, but I'm not sure where it's from. I flip it open to investigate and find myself immediately drawn into the story. I settle against a tree to continue reading. Heather won't mind finishing the clean up right? I glance up and see her mirroring my own position against another tree with her own open book in her lap, clearly enthralled. I smile and continue reading.
