(The Kingdom of Reindrağek
Teūrishia,
Arăhařt
Mansion of Uañluãn)
"That is not possible!" I cursed and threw a tantrum, no need to mince my action. "Where the hell am I!?"
"You are in the Kingdo------" "I know it you don't need to tell me again and again!" I yelled out and Gold and White whimpered at my words.
"Okay!" I took a deep breath. "There is clearly something wrong because this is definitely not Earth!"
"Earth. Opening the archives for the word." The voice was definitely an A.I. with how she speaks. "A planet is the milky way Galaxy, and one of the only planet in the galaxy where life could be sustain easily..." She began to describing everything about Earth from its size to its atmosphere and its contents and its rotation and revolution speed.
"Wait!" I stopped when she began to go into the details about the composition of humans and science and also about the cycles and engines and a lot of its history, excluding a few which consisted the intimate history of each country. The science was covered expertly and so was about the people of science but the history of the countries can be questioned. As i heard that some of the dates were not accurate but had some differences especially the dates of the World War I and II, it seemed the one who created the A.I. did not have accurate information or whatever this A.I. was, it was not connected to Internet, which is extremely possible as whatever this place was it was not on Earth, which brings me to my actual question. "How do you know about Earth?"
If she knew about Earth, then there is a chance that the one who created such a flawed A.I. or an extremely good one, that can work independent of the internet and can have an intelligent conversation with a human being but back to the point, there is a chance that the creator of the A.I. may also know about the Earth.
"My creator used to transverse between these two places." The voice stated. "He was able to combine science, alchemy and magic and rune magic. With its help he dwelled in the quantum space theories and was able to create a rune spell that allowed him to travel back and forth from the World called Earth and this World, the Wōŕèn Blûń."
"I thought they suddenly vanished one day?" I asked while looking down at Gold and White who began to play around.
"They did." Was the same monotone answer that I recieve.
"But wasn't it fault of the man that created the rune spell and break the laws of space and time?"
"Negative." The A.I. simply said. "The space time spells were common around fifteen hundred years ago but depleted over time until few mages searched in their archives and were able to create a poor version of the original spells that were used for summoning beings from another Worlds until five hundred years ago."
"Ah so this is like those hero summoning things."
"Negative." Now what. "The summoning spell was crude and disastrous which had lead to several worlds getting destroyed by natural causes as it interfered with the natural order of space and time, my creator at that time had figured out the the results of the spell when he was accidentally able to create a rift that allowed him to watch the other world for a brief time, which showed that the summoning spell was still very incomplete. He put in the petition but was ignored by the upper echelons, as he was the son of a ducal House, he told the head at that time of the results of summoning spell."
Things were turning quite heavy for this man whoever this man was.
"The Duke wanted evidence which his little brother provided but he soon found out that that the Association of Mages and a few of the Noble house at the time had provided the Kings and the Temple of the Lucé and Fiaàme with false information that was used to frame my creator as a traitor to the country and his house."
And a religion was involved too.
"The incarceration put a lot of pressure on the Ducal House, as it made the Duke to fake the death of his brother, who was then secretly smuggled out to a distant land that was under their control, a place where the Royals, the Nobles, the temple and the Association of mages would not search." I sort of understood where I was now. "This place was the House of Uañluãn in the place of Arăhařt." So this place was a safe house of some sorts.
"Its all well and good but it doesn't explain why am I here?" I spoke as I moved from my standing place to sit on the chair with the map behind me.
"My creator experimented with the spells to create something which he created when he was able to create a rift to the World called Earth and he and his brother began to travel between the two worlds learning many things, including that they were not able to travel between the two worlds but also between time." Now that surprised me.
"What?" I asked.
"He was able to travel through time of that world he was traveling too."
"So if the man and his brother, somehow was able to travel to the other world, not only to the other world but also through time?"
"Yes."
"So if he was able to travel through time there is a chance that he was somehow able to go to a far future?"
"Negative, he can only travel to the time the world would exist." The voice of the monotonous A.I. finished.
"Okay." I spoke as I tried to understand exactly what was dumped over my brain. "So what did the two brothers did after learning that."
"They created everything they could with the help of magic, alchemy and science." The monotonous voice spoke. "Which included a magically enhanced computer and its branch, An A.I. which is me, moreover this mansion was expanded, and they brought back few of the creatures called dinosaurs, and several other beings, they soon took place of the lesser dragons under drakes, as such other creatures did the same, and soon the land was covered with a extreme amount of magic particles in air, turning it into a magical ground."
"What does that have to do anything with me and my house being transported here?" I suddenly asked the very first question that was on my mind.
"Only you were transported here." The answer surprised me. "The house was built by my creator and his brother and their sons and grandson."
"What?!"
"The House has been here from the beginning the only new addition are the living beings."
"Then how come my house has all the things that I had back on Earth?!"
"The son of the Duke, nephew of my creator, had an ability that the two called as a seer and a prophet, he was able to have dreams that included the future of this world, the ability is a gift granted to the family of Uañluãn by the God of Gods, whom they called as Father of All or the Highest Creator." This seemed somewhat familiar, every part of the sentence bothered him. "Many of the dreams had already come true, so they were sure that what he had dreamt of will also come pass."
"And what were the dreams that had been fullfilled?" I asked.
"The hunt for the head of all of the ducal family." The family was being hunted down.
"Why?!" I moved forward the story being to interesting to me right now.
"The family of Uañluãn was framed for the destruction of army in the north and the a rival faction used the situation to frame the Head of the Duke, many of the relatives and servants were killed during the escape when my creator used a teleportation spell, what he learned after the dismantling the original summoning spell, but instead of Otherworld, the spell was able to transport a number of people back to this place." Whoa, man, those people had it hard. "Seeing that this place was very dangerous, the Royals and the Nobles removed the idea of them being in this place."
"Back to the original point what did the nephew of your creator saw in his dreams?"
"Opening Journal of Jeremiah Van D. Uañluãn,
Month of Sual, 27th Day." The A.I. recited what looked like a journal, probably one of the nephew, so he was called Jeremiah.
"Uncle Roarke and Father were discussing something with mother and Aunt Zephyr, some inputs were provided by the head maid Agartha and father's Butler Shmuel. I went to sleep after that knowing that my brothers and sisters were already asleep. I don't like to sleep much, because of my dreams." Seemed like this nephew had his own issues. "I have a lot of dreams not many like it as it usually predicts death and chaos, last time had a dream like this our whole family was almost slaughtered, if it was not for Uncle we would've been dead, but Father and Mother told me that this was a gift, what is a gift if you can't even understand it properly."
This one seem like he was having a tough time dealing with his trauma.
"I had another dream, but this was not like the last one where we running from the swords, this time I saw a total of ten houses built by Father and Uncle that were attached to the mansion and the outer walls of the mansion, but we were gone, but from each houses a single person emerged, they went outside the walls, to look for things and a way out, yelling about how they were trapped and needed to get out to get back home, I remember their faces as they went outside and then a terrible sound came from the surrounding forest, and I heard a lot of wailing, and people crying as a large fire started to envelope the gate where the last person was just about to enter. I woke up after the terrifying wailing sound, but I was sure that someone survived, because I saw silhouettes of few beings in the fire fighting a terrifying beast of some sorts. I did not know who it was but it was definitely someone who came out of the house."
This things seems a lot fishy then I previously expected.
"I woke up and searched for my father to discuss about it. Once I found him with Uncle, I told him about the dream, they both looked at each other and told me how because of the high concentration of magic particles and radiation from some of Uncle's and Father's experiments has caused the surroundings of the Mansion to evolve on a dangerous level and how there is probably a beast roaming around the Forest, we were safe because of some of the lesser dragons or dinosaur as Father calls them, guarding the gate and lot of the place, I also told him about the faces of the people, so Father asked what sort of houses did I see and how did they look like, while showing me a book with a lot of drawing for the houses. I pointed at them at once and Father asked for Uncle to get ready for some construction work. And he turned to ask if I could somehow describe the people who will come here."
'What?' I was confused about what the father of Jeremiah was thinking.
"I do not know what goes in the mind of my father and uncle, but I am sure they probably already know what would happen, my father had ordered us to prepare our things for departure but I do not know where we will go, but he told me to ready my things, while he searches or as it happened, kidnapped the royal drawer, who make portraits for the Royal Family, was cursing my father and brother, he threatened the drawer to make the portraits which he did after some persuasion from Uncle, I did as I was told, and described the ten people from my dream, after it was done, my father told me to play with my siblings and cousins, but for some reason that one person had been on mind, one who survived, and several questions but I do not know what I should do."
'It's a lot to take in.' I thought as I looked around the place.
"I hope I understand more about my dreams in the future though as they are part of me. It's time to sleep now, hope the new day brings joy in the life of our family." The A.I. finished the entry at that moment.
"So what I've gathered from this is that the father of Jermiah, built this mansion and my house, where we were transported too."
"That is correct." The A.I. said.
"But then, what about the food, and all those things stored I here, for sure they should have expired and how come they are exact same things that was there before I came here?!"
"The Mansion is covered in a rune spell that sends back everything that is not alive or have sentience to its original state."
"So if I drink milk and throw it outside the walls, the next day it will be back to its original state, back in the fridge."
"Negative, for the object to revert to its original state, it has to be inside the mansion walls."
"Back to my original question how are those things here that were back at my home, if only I traveled than it should me in an empty house?"
"My creator and his brother belived that the people who will be arriving here should've something that will make them feel at home, so they used the time traveling aspect of the magic they had created to get the objects from place of the people who would arrive here."
"So they stole from our homes after we were transported."
"That is correct."
"This spell to to travel between world how does one use it?"
"You must harvest the magic stones that are inside the beasts for the magic to remain stable."
"Is it the same with the magic that reverts the time of this mansion."
"Yes." The A.I. replied. "Large Magic Stones have been used to provide for everything that is in the mansion."
"Including electricity and water among the other things?"
"Yes."
"And how long will it last?"
"According to the calculations." The A.I. began. "If all of the facilities of the mansion and every single house aren't used then it will last you about two years."
"And after three years what do I need to keep the mansion and my house powered up?"
"Harvest the magical stones from the magical beast." I took deep breath as I tried to understand everything that was happening there were so many questions but survival comes first.
"Have someone been transferred here before?" I asked.
"Yes." Came the answer.
"Where are they now?"
"They are dead." Wow, that came out of nowhere.
"How did they die?"
"They were trying to escape from the forest." The Voice said and it felt omnious for some reason. "One cannot escape from this place, not until barrier from this forest is lifted." Now that information is new.
"Barrier?" I questioned as Gold and White came back to my feet after playing around.
"The whole of the forest is covered in a barrier that stops the people from leaving once they entered into this place."
"So I am stuck here?" I asked in frustration.
"Yes." At that word I wanted to rage out and make a thrash around but stopped and took a deep breath to calm myself.
"And how cane one pass through this barrier?" If I need life I've to get out of this place and learn more. I can't travel back to my world, it's destroyed by the asteroid, but I can't live alone here all the time.
"There is a device in the forest in a tree." I perked up at the words. "The device is the source of the barrier, if you get hold of it, you can choose who can enter and who can go out of the barrier, and also the size of the barrier."
"Do you know the exact location of where this device is?" I asked thrilled.
"Yes." At the words I was ready to just storm the place for the device. "But I would advice against the idea of grabbing the device as you are now."
"Why?" For some reason I felt insulted.
"You do not have enough strength." I was right it was something insulting. "Also because you do not know what is out there, the geography the place and where the tree is or the dangers lurking there."
"Than what shall I do?" I asked my face on my hand in a thinking posture. "I cannot spend all my time in this place!"
"I would advice you to enter the server room where you can prepare for the trek outside the walls." The voice of the A.I. rang as I looked up. "There are visual and audio recording of the beasts that are in the forests, it also has all the facilities that allows one to watch over whole of the forest and also of the mansion."
"There is a server room?"
"Yes."
"And also a there are camera around the Forest with audio too?"
"Yes."
I sat silent for few moment, as I tried to understand my situation, I was most probably in a different world all together and I did not what has been happening around in this world and this suspicious A.I. might be a blessing in disguise.
"So where is this server room?" I asked after a while, before the A.I. spoke again.
I was then guided by the A.I. towards the server room where I would learn more about this place, where I was stuck at.
