(Unknow Place:The Mansion)
"Nope, not possible!" I exclaimed as I started to pace around. I looked around the stove and the kitchen even the other stoves were turned over by me and I did not find anything, no gas line, no hidden pipes, no gas cylinders. Except for a single red glowing sphere that was connecting the six burners that was in the place. "There is no way this thing is producing flame without gas." The two puppies watched Mr move back and forth for a while before I stopped.
My gaze went to the red sphere that was still glimmering.
"And what's with the sphere?" I muttered as I kept on looking at it.
The appearance of the sphere was weird at the same time, very mesmerizing. I turned the stove knob again and there was a lot of signs or were they letters, but the main thing was that the stove was on. It had a flame and I was freaked out.
"Where did they put me at?!" I screamed. "What is this place?!" I backed away from the stove top.
"This is Arăhařt." A monotonous came from somewhere spooking all three of us out. "It is located at near the border of the city of Teūrishia, it was under the rule of Reindrağek Family about five hundred years ago."
"Who was that?" I spoke out loud, and instantly thought that it was quite idiotic of me, beside me White and Gold let out a growl.
"I have no name." The voice was to distorted or it was made to sound like that, but anyway there was no emotion behind that voice. "I was created for the sole purpose for being a support for any of the people who might come to live in the mansion."
"And what is this mansion?" I asked again as Gold and White covered me from the sides as I turned around quickly to locate someone who was probably speaking like that.
"This mansion belongs to the proud ducal House of Uañluãn, A family of Wizards and Warriors."
"And where are they now?" I asked as I kept a close eye at the doors of the kitchen.
"They are not here anymore." The voice stated again in a monotone voice, no emotion, just a fact.
"And why is that?" White hissed from my left side.
"Five hundred and twenty years ago, the head of the family was using a large area rune magic system, once it was activated, the people from the family suddenly vanished." There was silence for the moment as I tried to understand what was actually told to me.
"Yeah, I am calling that bull shit." I spoke with out any fear, magic yeah right, while I do believe in the existence of God, telling me magic that made people vanish was stretching it, not mention most of the magic on Earth can be explained with the help of science. "So why not come out of wherever you are hiding and we can talk face to face."
"I cannot talk face to face." The voice spoke again.
"Oh yeah, and why is that?" Seeing me with such confidence Gold barked at the voice too.
"As I have no face." Came another statement. There was no emotion, nothing that I can take as sarcasm, but I was sure that whoever was behind that voice was having a blast at trying to make a fool out of me.
"All right than why don't you tell me what sort of being are you that have no face?"
"I am a simulation of human mind and intelligence. I am programmed to exhibit the abilities of human mind and to mimic and execute actions to a certain extent, once that extent is reached the rest is up to my owner or owners or my programmers to decide what's to be done to decide what's to be done." The voice said leaving me aghast.
"What?!" Came out of my mouth.
"I am a simulation of human mind and-------"
"No, I got that!" I stopped the voice from speaking again and took a a deep breath. "So what you are saying is that you are an AI."
"If by that you mean an Artificial Intelligence than you are correct." The voice made that statement again.
"And you were made five hundred years ago."
"Yes."
"Wow." I spoke as White and Gold sat on their hinds looking between me and the room. "I didn't knew there was such an advanced civilization on Earth that already created an A.I. five hundred years ago!"
"This place is not Earth." The monotonous voice spoke again.
"Yeah, I know the planet was destroyed and all!"
"The planet is still intact and has never came close to destruction."
'What?!' The thought rang through my mind. What does this mean. "Excuse me, can you tell me where am I?"
"You are in Arăhařt. It is located at near the border of the city of Teūrishia, it was under the rule of Reindrağek Family about five hundred years ago."
"I am not asking about that!" I yelled out when the voice was finished. "I am asking about the planet, where I am, the whole world."
"This is the World of Wōŕèn Blûń." The stating voice spoke again. "You are in the Kingdom of Reindrağek, one of its border city is Teūrishia where the place Arăhařt is located, which holds the mansion of the ducal House of Uañluãn." The voice said leaving me in an almost state of catatonic. "If you wish to dwell in the Geography of the world in more depth, I would advise you to visit the first library near the master room and the first office of the mansion on the first floor."
"And how would I find that place." After coming out of shock I asked back, still a bit wary but had no other choice.
"The place you are at is the main kitchen." The voice spoke and while it was monotonous, I still could not hide my awe about how there is a possibility of this mansion having more than one kitchen, those Unlaan.....Unalan....Uañluãn, they must have spent a lot of time and money in this place. "You will have to move out of this room and head towards the stairs that are ahead. Climb the stairs and move towards right corridor, the main library would be at the end of the first corridor you will be walking in."
"And exactly how many corridors are there on the first floor?" I asked.
"There are twenty seven corridors on the first floor." I almost missed a step while walking at the words. Just how much many those guy had. Forget money how many people can reside in a mansion...no this was not a mansion, it would be on the level of a castle, and I have yet to cover the ground floor properly, just how many people can live in this place, a small town probably.
Once I was over the shock I quickly climbed the stairs and went to the place I was told too and it took a lot of time just to reach that place, like a lot, the voice told me there were a lot of corridors, it forgot to tell me just how long those corridors were. I reached the end of the corridor with two doors at the end. I looked at the two doors in confusion, Gold and White who had been following me also tilted there heads in confusion while looking up at me.
"Don't look at me, I don't know which door it is."
"The door to the library is to your left." The voice said after I spoke making me look up.
"What's on the left?" I asked.
"The main office."
"Okay." I spoke as I put my hand on the knob and opening it slightly, seeing there was no resistance and that no one was coming to attack me and motioned for Gold to move inside. "Good boy." I muttered as the Gold darted inside looking around and maybe, looking if there was something or someone hostile inside the place. Seeing that there was nothing of that sorts both me and White headed inside, wariness still absolute in my mind. But that came to a stop when I began to admire the inner work and the design of the library.
*Whistle*
And just like the one downstairs, this was a large library with a lot of books, probably more than what was downstairs, and just like the last one this also had a second floor balcony with books and seats and lounges, there were also windows and chandeliers and an indoor garden with chairs and tables, the garden was almost like a green house. Glass curved ceiling halfway, covering the place where the garden was to let the light in, a little fountain that was dry and a lounging area for reading, there was another door on the other side of the garden where the glass curved roof ended. All in all it was beautiful work that was done here.
After being mesmerized by the architectural work and design of the whole library what actually got my attention was the main office table that probably had a lot of drawers and a few secret compartment here and there three chairs that was there, a lamp that was on the table, a globe that I ignored, lots of paper and behind that table a map on the wall.
An unusually large map which probably took a lot of space on the wall.
A map which made no sense to me except for bits and pieces.
A map that probably show cased the world.
A World Map.
A World Map that is wrong.
Or maybe.
"Where the hell am I?" I muttered while trying to understand my own predicament.
