As Horn Helmet moved closer to the fruit stand, wisps of mist poured around the front and into the back inching closer and closer to Max. Max's heart beat faster. That hollow sound began to get louder. Max could now hear some kind of eerie whispering. A skeleton hand inched over the edge of the counter. Slowly Helmet's helmet came into view as he peered over the edge. It was getting nearer and nearer. Soon he would see Max.

OK, so it's not a dream, at least that's what the talking magical wand says. And, oh joy, the wand tells Max that it is his destiny to stop the spell that is merging the modern world with a fantasy world. 

Sigh. Max is no hero. He knows that. He just wants to go home and finish the story he was working on. However, it looks like his only way home is to stop the spell. 

And as you might guess, The Wizard doesn't want Max to succeed. He sends a group of bounty hunters after the young hero. Fortunately for Max, one of those bounty hunters, Ryan, is from his world and believes Max is "The Chosen One." Unfortunately, Ryan quickly uncovers Max's insecure nature. How can such a wimp be The Chosen One?

But don't worry Ryan (and readers), Max will get his chance once they come across a village targeted for invasion. Surely, Max will overcome his fears and prove to the world (and himself) that he is the hero they are waiting for. Right? He's gonna do it. Maybe?
