"What the hell is technology?" I repeat this time aloud, genuinely curious to know the meaning of this new term. Suddenly the mysterious person reveals herself. She is short-statured and has raven black hair. She has a small black horn on the right side of her head.
"Technology is a modern term for a good majority of things in this reality, my name is Sayuna, I was sent to assist you by Lord Darke." She continues, "You met Darke in the void, he tends to be secretive, but don't mind him, he genuinely cares about all of us. Your name is Kieraieda, right?" she asks me.
"Well yeah I guess so, that is what the creepy figure, Lord Darke I assume, told me. So where exactly are we? I know you said we are in a world where technology or whatever governs everything, but where exactly is that?" I inquire.
"We are in a city called New Sylviéza, we are in the time of 2046 AC in the 18th reality known as Cybería." She starts explaining, "According to the pattern of Dreith Maze's moves this reality is bound to be his next target since he already merged the First through Seventeenth Realities. You are from the Thirteenth Reality, although from what I understand, you were born in another reality than the one you grew up in, but let's put the confusing details to the side for a bit." She looks at some bracelet-like object on her wrist, and gasps, "Oh my god, look at the time, we have to go and meet up with a couple of the other refugees from the Seventeenth Realities."
I blindly follow Sayuna, still wondering what technology was, she didn't give me much of an explanation, is it edible? I am kinda hungry now that I think about it. We round the corner of a building, and head into a yet darker area of the already dark alleyway.
Suddenly we stop in front of a rusty metal door, it seems to be old. Sayuna opens the door and enters the building, absent-minded, I follow her inside. Inside is a bunch of weird furniture, and some weird black rectangle hanging from the wall. I look around the room and I see a white-haired girl sitting on one of the cozy-looking chairs, and I nearly faint.
"Hey, Omnisce, do you know what technology is?" I ask, genuinely curious for an answer, "This odd creature wouldn't give me a knowledgeable answer." Omnisce looks at me, and with a murderous glare she flips me off and growls at me
"What would I know, we are both strangers to this land," She hisses at me, "Also what is your problem? Is the only thing you can think of technology? What happened to the traditional 'hello'?" she says, her left eye is a furious bright red, reminding me of the intense hatred that resonated from that one malicious man from my vision back in the void.
Suddenly, I feel a pain shoot throughout my head like a shockwave, and I collapse to the ground. Unable to get rid of the pain I start screaming, and everything starts going dark, and then nothing. Bliss, peace, hope, all things I have rarely had in my life. I see something, a bright door, like a gateway to a new life. I start walking towards the glorious light, but the ground gives way, and I wall into the abyss, darkness overwhelming me.
I find myself, not in the room I was in with Omnisce and Sayuna, but in a different world entirely, I am sitting in front of a young boy, about my age. He has white hair and silver eyes. His features seem to resemble mine. He is wearing robes of fine silk and he wears a golden crown. He sits on a high-back throne made of the finest cloth and gold. Suddenly, another man runs into the room, he is carrying a letter of some sort, and the messenger speaks.
"Your highness, the kingdom of Astoria, has declared war upon us. If we don't respond we may very well be crushed. We are also flanked now by the kingdoms of Parzia and Gaurdos. It seems like all of our neighboring kingdoms have turned on us. What do we do?" He states frantically.
"Calm down Harold, no need to fret, if they want to fight, then let them, no need to get overworked over such minorities," The boy stands up, "You may leave, I have some business to attend to." As Harold leaves, the boy turns to me and speaks.
"So, sister, it would seem that I have finally found you. If I recall correctly mother named you Angel, but you were stillborn." He is speaking directly to me, I move towards him and he continues, "Ah, I don't think you understand, this is all but an illusion. I wish I could have met you in person, but the should suffice. I know you have questions, I will tell you this one thing, enter the Ninety-Seventh Reality, there you will awaken your true powers." With no further explanation he turns and leaves, and my vision goes dark.
I open my eyes and see Omnisce and Sayuna leaning over me. They look frightened like I died. I slowly move to get up, and, with the help of Omnisce and Sayuna, walk over to the furniture and sit down.
"Are you okay?" Omnisce asks me, "You were unconscious for a solid 30 minutes, do you know what happened?" I stare at her, only one thing on my mind, and I open my mouth and utter a single number.
"Ninety-Seven..." and then everything starts to fade, into a single mush of blurry grey, and my conscious starts to abandon me, I fall to the side. I look across the room, and right before I pass out, I see something, a sword propped against the wall, the dark sword that belonged to the demonic man from my vision back in the void. Then everything leaves me behind, and I enter a peaceful rest.
