“Alright, let’s light this candle.” Black Mage said enthusiastically, with his arms in the air.

“Multi-dimensional cube.” Fighter corrected him.

“Right… that.” Black Mage said begrudgingly, his patience growing dangerously thin. “Just throw it.”

Fighter then reared back and threw the cube sphere whatever, as hard as he could. The whatever collided with the trees at the edge of the forest, and as soon as it made contact with the trees, a big, shimmering portal appeared in its place.

The portal was spherical in appearance. It was a bit wavy around the edges as it shimmered in place. The portal was white, with small waves of all the colours of the rainbow within it, and was about five trees wide. It appeared on the borders of the forest with a ‘Poit’ sound.

“Poit?” Black Mage questioned. “What kind of sound effect is that?”

“Well we are in a fanfiction now, as opposed to a sprite comic, so there are going to be a few noticeable differences.” Fighter commented.

Black Mage turned around and immediately started brandishing his knives threateningly at his teammate stabbing dummy. “Fighter, what have I told you about breaking the fourth wall?”

“Don’t do it?”

“Atta boy.” Black Mage said, lowering his knives again. “Now, let’s go through that portal.” He then turned back around again and started running towards the portal.

“You certainly seem more into it now.” Fighter said as he ran alongside him.

“Well it occurred to me that if this thing really sends you to what you want most, and another dimension, then there’s a chance that it will lead to a dimension of hot, sexy, naked White Mages, who all want to get it on with me for some hot mage-on-mage action.” Black Mage said as he ran. “Of course, knowing our luck and your stupidity, it could also send us to a dimension of rabid bloatflies that will slowly eat us alive, whilst we are fully aware and conscious the whole time, condemning us to suffer for all eternity in the most agonizing way possible. Either way, it’s better than what I have now, so shut up and hurry up.”

“Right behind you, buddy.”

“Shut up.”

The two of them then leapt into the portal. They disappeared into it immediately, and the portal closed behind them.
