Ascar woke up feeling hungry. He stretched his arms and yawned, then got out of bed and headed downstairs. His mom was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, sweetie," she said, smiling at him. "How are you feeling today?"
Ascar smiled back at her. "I'm feeling great, mom," he said. "Thanks for asking."
His mom nodded, then handed him a plate of pancakes and scrambled eggs. "Here, eat up," she said. "You must be starving."
Ascar took the plate and began to eat. His mom sat down across from him, sipping a cup of coffee.
"So, how was your day with Emily?" she asked, smiling. "I'm glad you took my advice and went to talk to her."
Ascar smiled, feeling happy. "It was great, mom," he said. "We played video games together, and she's really nice. We had a lot of fun."
His mom nodded, looking pleased. "I'm glad to hear that, sweetie," she said. "It's great that you're making new friends."
Ascar nodded, feeling happy. He finished his breakfast, then helped his mom clean up the kitchen.
After they finished, Ascar and his mom went to the living room, where they played video games together. Emily joined them later, and they spent the rest of the morning playing games and laughing together.
As they took a break from gaming, Ascar asked Emily if she believed that another world existed somewhere, like a parallel world.
Emily thought for a moment, then nodded. "I'd like to think so," she said. "I'd love to visit a world that's full of magic and wonder."
Ascar smiled, feeling excited. "That sounds amazing," he said. "I'd love to visit a world like that too."
The three of them had dinner together, laughing and chatting as they ate. After dinner, Emily said goodbye to Katherine, then turned to Ascar.
"I'll walk with you to school tomorrow, okay?" she said, smiling.
Ascar nodded, feeling happy. "That sounds great," he said.
Emily smiled, then turned to leave. "Goodnight, Ascar," she said. "I'll see you tomorrow."
Ascar watched her go, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to see her again tomorrow.
As he headed back to his bedroom, Ascar felt a sense of determination rising up within him. He was going to travel back to the city, no matter what it took. He was going to see Thorne again, and learn more about the magic of the amulet.
As he thought about it in his room, the amulet gave a bright glow, shining brightly in his room. Ascar felt a sense of excitement and wonder, knowing that the amulet was responding to his thoughts.
Meanwhile, Emily was walking back to her house, which was just a few doors down from Ascar's. As she walked, she noticed a bright light shining from Ascar's bedroom window.
She stopped in her tracks, wondering what the light was. She had never seen anything like it before.
As she stood there, frozen in wonder, the light grew brighter and brighter, filling the entire room with an otherworldly glow.
Emily's eyes were fixed on the light, her mind racing with questions and wonder. What was the light? Where was it coming from? And what did it have to do with Ascar?
As she stood there, trying to make sense of what she was seeing, Emily felt a shiver run down her spine. She had a feeling that something strange and wonderful was happening, and she was determined to find out what it was.
