Chapter 10 - Chapter - 09

"History says that there once lived a boy called Luphius Eros, like 100 or 200 years ago. His family was super rich and kind to everyone. They were very kind to all living things and show respect towards every living things. They even had a phoenix that they loved and cared for, who could sense and predict great success. Everything was perfect, but one day they suddenly disappeared into thin air...he and his whole family, all gone overnight. Nobody heard from them any more after the disappearance incident, and everyone got tensed. If there was even their body, we'd be sure something happened, like murder or anything, but they just disappeared.

After a few days, Some Aekaruses started to disappear mysteriously. The area around that house became gloomy and dark, even though that place had a beautiful garden and less shadowing large trees. It just got worse as the time passed by and the number of disappeared Aekaruses only increased. Some believed it was related to the incident of the 'Luphius house', some believes that there's something dangerous lurking out in this forest and after the disappearance of some of our kinds, the royal family decided to leave this place. That's why our ancestors moved from that place and started to live here.''

''Wow... what a history!"

"Yeah right?! I desperately want to know the mystery behind history, like what's lurking out there in the forest." - Ellis exclaimed with pure joy.

"Luphius house? I think I have heard this name before. Oh right, The ancient ruined house, the name was written on the front door. Could it be that the place is a link to other dimensions or parallel worlds?''

"Uhmm... What's a parallel world?" - Ellis asked.

"Oh... Well, the Parallel world is a reality or world that exists simultaneously with ours, but is independent of it. Which means there's another world out there, going on just like us, we don't know anything about them, and they don't know about us. How to explain to you more thoroughly..." - I finished, but still I got a feeling that Ellis didn't quite understand.

"That's a bit hard to understand for me... never mind."

"Well, how much did you get!?"

"This place is going on like ours, that's all!"

"Let me give you an example, if you look inside a mirror, what do you see?"

"Myself...?"

"No, well technically yeah, but no, I'm not talking about you. What do you see except you?"

"My surroundings."

"Exactly. Think of a parallel world that way. If you could get inside that mirror you'd see there's a whole new different world, everything's right there as the way you see, but it's not your own world. The parallel world is Similar to yours, only!"

"Oh I got it... not fully but got it. So, you're saying that the house might be a link, like a door to the parallel world?"

"Yeah. That ancient ruined house might be the case for those Aekarus to suddenly disappear, they might have crossed the door and stuck on the other side. I've read many books about parallel worlds, that's why I thought about it!"

"I don't know... but why do you keep calling the Luphius house ruined ancient house? As far as I know, it's not ruined nor ancient!"
