Luke finely had gotten home from a typical day at school; class, recess, and soccer practice.  After taking off his cletes and socks he laid back into his bed.  He closed his eyes and thought if I could just escape this world for a bit and relax.  It was then that he remembered the mysterious piece of paper that was given to him by his friend, Isaiah, along with a compass, He went over to his backpack and opened the front pocket and pulled out the closed pocket compass. Luke then found the piece of folded piece of parchment paper. He opened it up and read it. "If you ever find yourself overwhelmed from this world there is another magical mystical world that you can visit, Be forwarded that there is real magic, danger and fun to be had in the realm of CHURNBRIDGE. To reach this world all you must do is 1) open the compass turn your body to the Nortrh, 2) close your eyes, 3) say Churnbridge Churnbridge Churnbridge I want to be there now! Be prepared for a few light strobes in your eyes. When you open them you will be standing on the oustskirt of the town Churnbridge,  You will cross over that bridge and entire the bustling town of Churnbridge, Let the adventure begin.  
Now knowing what must be done, Luke a few more deep sighs and did as the directions had indicated,

Luke felt a whirling  and falling motion and some strobe lights and then a sudden stop.  He opened his eyes and found himseolf standing on a gravel area. Just past the gravel was a large open meadow of tall grass and various flower blooms. He shuffled his feet to turn himself to the left and found that he was standing beside a rock bridge.  Under the bridge flowed beautiful blue and clear rushing water. The river seemed to go on forever. Looking past the bridge he could see a village, pretty large one. Just then he heard a splash. He looked back at the clear flowing river and only saw ripples in the water.  He assumed he had just missed witnessing a fish jump out of the water. He then took notice of the clothes he was wearing.

He no longer was in his white practice shorts and navy blue team "Badger" t shirt. He was wearing kacki pants with pockets and a green tunic. He had across his chest a brown strap that lead to a satchel bag with a buckle and a few outside pockets. On his feet where brown mocassin like boots but they did extend up to mid calf. He also notice that he had a knife attached to his right side. It was nearly the same color as the satchel bag. Still in his right hand was the brass compass, still pointing North, He put the compass into his right leg pocket.  Then he pulled out the knife to was shiny silver piece of craftsmanship for he could see that it had a very decorative middle section from top of knife to the hilt. The design was a bunch of squigglies in a single row. The hilt was thick and felt good in his hand. A closer look showed that the handle looked like two tree branches with short leaves extending past the blade and then slightly turning up. At the very end of the handle was a rounded segment and in the middle of that ornamental end was a well centered lizard looking creature.  After a few minutes of observing the knife Luke returned it to its sheath. 

Luke suddenly hear the loud clang of a bell. It chimed ten times and then ceased. Looking toward the village he could see a taller building that did look like it had a steeple at the bop of the tower. The building was a tan color with a dark looking roof, that was the most he make out from where he now stood. "Guess I better get moving and see exactly what this Churnbridge is all about.  He started to walk up over the slightly arched rock bridge. Every footstep he could hear the beige gravel crush and move under his step.  Luke moved across the bridge as easily, as could any young boy of 10. He reached the otherside and stepped into a gravel road the looked to lead him to the heart of the village.  

As Luke entered deeper into town he began to pass many buildings. They appeared to be made out of stucco and types of tile roofs.  He passed many buildings that were large and had various sizes of wood signs supported by metal hangers.
