Valerian was standing under the mural. For some reason, he felt someone was calling him and asking him to lift his head. However, when he raised his head, this around him changed in a blink. The young man found himself standing in a garden.
This place was something that he could not describe in his words. He was astounded by the sensation of calm and peace that came over him. This place wasn't anything he had ever seen before. He looked around him but did not see anyone else. Valerian opened his mouth and said, "Is anyone there?"
There was no response. This left the young man wondering what this place was. He looked around, but upon finding no clue, he sighed and sat down on the ground dejectedly. Then it suddenly clicked to him, "Am I dead?"
