Unexpected Encounters

Summary:

A knock on the door and just outside is an old man wearing a strangely pointed hat. Gandalf? It doesn't seem possible but sometimes the whole world is impossible so you just have to take a step forward and go on an adventure. When you step outside your door there is no way of knowing what will happen to you or what kind of adventure may just consume your life...and everything you thought you once knew.

Notes:

Sorry I know it is short but after this chapter they get longer.

Rubbing my eyes to get rid of the residual sleep, I glanced out the window to see a large black shadow. I felt a shiver of apprehension run down my back, my hairs stand on end. I went to the door and looked out and saw something I never expected to see… ever.
Standing there on the other side of my door was Gandalf.
I blinked in disbelief, pinched myself and looked again.
Yes, standing there was, Gandalf the White. I opened the door and that’s when the thought hit me. No wonder none of this makes sense, I’m dreaming. What a disappointment this was so exciting.
“Come with me my child.” Gandalf said right after I opened the door.
“What?!” was all I had time to say before I was pulled through the door into the light…
