[ Allyson's POV ]
" A bedazzling revelation. "
That's what came first to my mind after he opens the door. I can't help but to see how strange everything for me.
Mr. Kim and I walked towards the platform as it lowers down.
* Platform lowers....
I was fascinated of everything, I see creatures I have never seen before. People who clearly who do not look normal. I noticed almost everyone is wearing suits. Maybe it's a job.
I looked to the right and saw floating islands. I can see the mechanical attachment each one have.
" Oh right. Don't look down. " Kim spoke.
Don't look down? Why is he saying th-
I looked down and saw how high we are. My legs feel weak. This is too high. I can hear Kim giggling. He set that up~
" What did the Higher-ups discussed to you? ". Kim asked as he pushed the button to stop the platform.
" I don't understand what they were saying much. It's was about me entering this place unconscious. " I answered back.
Kim smiles and comments.
" Well, it's true. One of my men found you lying on the floor as the portal activated. ".
Really? That's surprising.
" You looked like you came from Eart-. I mean the world outside. ". I was inconsistent to my words. Kim chuckled and explained the situation by details as we continue walking.
" Am I? I don't think so.. The world you are currently right now is called Rekoda Magis and it is connected to various worlds. One of them is where you came from. the Overworld. "
" We Specias here do not consider this world as a different planet as flying up there... "
He points at the blue sky.
" Is practically impossible with our current science and magic. So it's still a mystery. " He added.
Worlds, Magic, Creatures - words that were only a fantasy to me before.
Before I could ask another question, we halted at front of a large skyscraper. Up in the doors were the usual people wearing their black and grey duty suits.
" Morning, Kim. What brings you here? ". A tall woman greeted him as she approached us.
" Morning to you as well, Centia. I'm here to escort her. Hoping she could have some sort of explanation. ". He explained.
" Hello, the name's Centia Gears. ".
I greeted her as well.
" Allyson. Allyson Bluestone. "
She stopped for a sec but continued to smile.
" Kim you may head back now. " She ordered as Mr. Kim departed.
* Walks.
I followed Miss Centia as she opened the elevator door. As it stops, we shortly walked towards to a hallway. It was quiet. I was sure, Centia is a very talka-
" So you are a Bluestone. Must've been Evelyn's niece. ". Welp. Guess I was right.
" Yeah. "
" Sorry. I was a bit hesitant when you said your last name was Bluestone. I figured you were very much like your Aunt. ". She added.
" Really? What was she like? ". I asked her as we continue walking.
" Moody. Despite older than her, she looks at me like I was some sort a little sister to her. She was always serious when she's working and quite fun to tease. Wonder why she was very strict to me? " She explains.
My aunt was surprisingly soft towards me, and I might've know why she's strict at her.
" Sure you have a lot of questions, so I figured this would be the best place for you to ask. ".
To ask? What does she mean?
******************************
Third Person's Perspective.
( 20 minutes Later )
" I see. ".
Allyson was quite pissed. She stared at the large bookshelf. She looked up and saw how tall the shelves are.
" Wow. That woman really left me here to answer my own questions. " She spoke as she reached a large leather book. " Heis Vanleur " etched unto the leather cover. Allyson then finally sat in the chair.
* Paper rustling...
Not quite far from where Allyson is reading, is a man at the front desk working on some paperwork.
His name " Cheiss Skriptwudd " plastered into the wall, indicating his profession as the HQ's Librarian. Allyson goggled at the book she was holding. She couldn't understand any words it contains.
" Am I supposed to learn this new ... language? ". She asked herself. She flipped few pages before sighing.
" You can ask the Librarian to translate it for you. ".
Allyson looked in front of her and saw another person reading a different book.
" What did you say? ". Allyson asked, confirming what she heard.
" I said, you can ask the Librarian to translate it for you. ". He replied.
Allyson hesitated at first before heading to the front desk.
She approached as she placed the book at the table where the sound of writing stopped.
" What can I do for you? ". Cheiss asked.
" Umm.. Mr. Cheiss. Would you translate this for me? " Allyson stuttered.
The librarian then held the book and picked a magnifying glass nearby.
" Use this. "
He handed the magnifying glass as well as return the book back to Allyson's hands.
" Thanks. "
She replied, heading back to where that person is.
' I wonder what this is? ' Allyson thought as she noticed the single gemstone etched in the magnifying glass. The guy from earlier noticed her and spoke.
" That is the Rewording Gem of Unakite. It's used to translate text to an easy understanding. "
Allyson stops. She looked at him.
" How did you- ". However, he interrupted her first.
" Try using it. ". He replied. I sat into my chair as I held the magnifying glass close to one of the texts. Instantly, I was able to understand it.
" See? I told ya. ". He commented.
" Oh.. I'm Raj. ". He introduced himself. " Raj Khan, a fellow Specia just like you. I lived in the Overworld when I was suddenly transported here a month ago. "
A person from the Human world...
" Did they caught you? ". I asked him.
" Kinda. When they knew I was Peculiar they insisted I should stay here. ". He explained. He then sat on his chair as we talked about everything.
" Judging from your expression. You really are confused on what's happening here. ".
" Let me give you a simple context. " He then grabbed one of the books in his hand.
" Here. Read that. ". He gave me the book. In the first page a large map of the Earth was shown, along with countless landmarks I don't even recognize now.
" There were 6 Clans that lived 500 years ago: Fae, Enigm, Kueska, Vyrne, Huma. "
" Huma: which represents the Humans. The largest clan of them all. "
" Fae: which represents magicians, wizards, witches and other fairy creatures that could cast magic. "
" Kueska: which represents the majority of cryptids, beasts and other ferocious creatures - either pure beasts or could take form into humanoid. "
" Enigm: which represents the beings who walk from the shadows. "
" And lastly, the Vyrne: which represents the beings who can connect with the nether. "
" These 5 clans lived together but would never settle down. A war would happen, a temporary peace would follow, a cycle of hate and aggression would occur. "
" However, 500 years ago. Something wasn't supposed to happen. Due to a mistake of a single Huma, thousands of lives perished. The 4 clans: Kueska, Enigmae, Fae, Vyrne made a pact to never connect with the humans again. "
...
I gently closed the book as this short history ended. Wait, it said 6 clans. What happened to the last Clan?
" Oh, you mean the Peculiar Clan? ". Raj commented once again as he stood.
" It wasn't mentioned in this book. In fact, all of the books here does not mention a single Peculiar. ". He added as he point at the book I was reading.
" I've been told before that the Peculiar Clan was the last Clan to exist. They are also the very least as a 100 peculiars could only exist at the same time. ".
Raj smiled as he points at the Librarian at the back.
" Like I've said before, I am a Peculiar so is that guy. ". I looked back and saw the Librarian didn't even pay attention in our conversation.
" And you. ".
" Are also a Peculiar. ".
" Me? ".
" Yes. You. But I'm quite unsure as normal peculiars don't even have this kind of eyes. Let alone, a single one. "
He points at my right eye. This dude really loves pointing things huh? However, I'm not really sure why I am like this. Maybe it's because my mother was a Huma.
" So that's why. ". He spoke and quickly covered his mouth.
" Did you just- Hold on. Are you able to read my mind? ". I confronted him.
He just chuckled and laughed.
" Yes. My Peculiarity allows me to read other people's thoughts. " He replied.
That's really a nuisance ability.
" Ouch. Anyway, what led you here in Dixinian Library? " He asked me.
" I was transported here when I was chased by hooded people back in London. " I replied. He was surprised.
" Woah. Phantoms tried to chase you? ".
Phantoms?
" Oh yeah, this is the term the Dixinians uses referring those kind of people. " He explained.
I wonder why they wanted me. Still, this guy just read my mind without care. I'm getting irritated.
" Those hooded and masked people are one of the reasons why the Dixinian Corps assembled. " He added as he opened a book revealing a neat sketch of those people.
" Looks like a cult member to me. " I commented. They dress almost the same, except for the fact that those guys from morning weren't wearing full-faced masks.
" Oh yeah. How about you joining the Dixinian Corps? ". He spoke, a short smile was painted in his face, implying that I might be-
" Interested? "
He asked once again.
Dixinian Corps? Like these people here?
" Yeah. I figured out you might use this job. You looked like the person who is wants to find someone. " He explained his reason. I looked at the back, I can see the librarian's uniform had the Dixinian Logo badge.
" I might think about it. ".
***********************************
[Third Person's POV]
" Dixinian Corps huh? "
Allyson spoke to herself as she stares at the ceiling of her room that was prepared by the officers. She was thinking of what Raj had told her. She was indeed wanting to find someone....
" someone.... "
She looked at her side. She can see her luggage she left at London.
" I probably wanted to see the reason. The reason why Evelyn had to die. ".
...
( Next Day )
* Footsteps echoing.
" Okay. I'm here. What's next? ". She asked herself as she stared at the board in front of her.
Lots of papers where placed along with the words she couldn't understand. Some of the papers that were plastered shows cases from the Overworld, like few Phantom activities and Missing beings.
" It's like the police. "
She commented as she reached for one of the cases.
" Strange sightings of a Rainbow Serpent.. " She grimaced after seeing the overly cute texts.
( Who edited this? )
* Footsteps.
" Hmm. Who's this one? " A woman's voice spoke from behind Allyson. She was greeted by the woman's smile.
" Careful. The Mission board might stare back at you. "
She points at the board behind her...
Who are these people?
