This place where the medicinal plants glow, the pet beasts with various genetics and most important MAGIC, was still unknown to me. To return back to my hometown, it was important for me to know where am I now !(crying in heart)
" Lan... No.. Mr. Pei....what should I call you?"
" Lan is fine. "
" So Lan, can you tell me .... Where are we exactly? "
" The dark forest? "
" No.... I mean the country…? "
"( I knew you would ask me this question ) Lets go back. Its not appropriate to explain it here. Its dark forest, more dangerous then you can imagine. I will explain you later. "
" yes. I understand. (" what does he mean by he knew. Does he know that I teleported? Huh! I will ask him later. My legs are killing me. How far do we have to walk ?")
After walking so much, we finally reached our destination....which was... A Old Shack. [shocked] (I walked about a long distance only for thissss!!! (jaw dropping))
It looked like it was not been attended from a very long time, in a very bad condition. Broken windows, shattered wooden pieces on the stairs. But how knew what I will see inside would be way beyond my imagination!!
" Are we going to stay here? " I asked promptly when I saw the shack.
" You will know when you get inside. "
And thus he went in. Closing my eyes, thinking about the worst scenario, I opened the door and went in just to find that the old small shack from outside was more then a hall in a Buckingham Palace. (well it's a joke! No really not kidding soooo big). Though it looked old from outside, it was filled with glory from inside. More like a king sized room in a seven star hotel or even a house of wealthy man. I was a little confused due to the sudden glory but there was only one thing came out of my mouth -
" [smirk] I Love Magic ! "
Entering through the door, beside it was a leisure place with a Palace sitting style, surrounding with various cabinets having a golden border design. It consisted of various glass bottles with some liquids in it were glowing liquid like from the medicinal plants. There were various research materials and equipment in the area which looked like a laboratory. Cabinets with various created magic weapons were placed beside it. Along the research table was sitting a man, doing some research. Lan walked towards him hinting me to follow him. As Lan approached him, the man looked at him with a grin. He was a man in his 40's with blond hairs and sea green eyes wearing a white coat. He glanced at me.
" WELCOME BACK! ... I was expecting you. But who is this lady?" (Beautiful black eyes with confidence and bravery, on this gorgeous face. What a great combination! But where have I seen her ?)
("Is he complementing now. Its a bit awkward though.(shy yet foolishly smiling) When did he saw me? ")
" Her name is ARIYA. "
" [Confused] ARIYA....Are you sure? "
" Why? What's wrong with my name? "
" Nothing's wrong lady .... Its just that, you remind me of someone who is exactly like you with an exactly same name. "
( " Wooww!! What..... a... great .....coincidence! Forget it! Lets ask about how to get out of here. My most important mission! Going back! ")
"Lan, you were going to tell me about this place?"
( Interesting..,. Lan brought a very interesting person this time.)
" [examining] Lady Ariya... How come you don't know about this place? Are you a traitor or...perhaps....an enemy? "
(" [furious] What is wrong with this old man? Can I just smack his irritating face??!")
" Miss Ariya! Let me introduce him. He is Doctor Roger William, one of the best scientists, magical doctor and a researcher. "
(" (internal cursing) You punk! Lan, I am not one of the best but… THE BEST ONE OF ALL")
" Hello Lady Ariya.... Welcome to my small research centre. "
" [Forceful Smile] Thank you for this warm welcome. Now..... Can you explain me the situation please!"
" Lady Ariya.... I think it's you… who should explain us your situation first.. so that we can help you. Don't worry you can trust us ..... If you can't, you are free to leave when ever you want. Just don't expect any help from us."
(" what's wrong with this doctor? Even if I want to leave, I need to know about this place. Well I don't have a choice but to trust them. Even the doctor acts foolishly he is much more smarter. Lan is a quite person I guess trusting him cannot be bad. Ughhh! Fine, lets do it!")
" I.... teleported ..... Into the dark forest through this pendent and stone....I guess It all started from MY DREAM.....!"
