I wheeled around to look at my mysterious companion with my eyes wide open and a drop of sweat running down my forehead. It was...a fox? A golden fox with soft, glazed fur. It was also huge, almost the size of a really big Great Dane. I stood up and stepped back cautiously. It looked at me curiously, as if I was something that just came from another planet. Which was probably what happened. Anyway, as I stared at it for a long time, I realized it was harmless. I stepped forward and laid my hand on its delicate fur. I smiled. I loved animals and I was never scared of any. The fox looked very familiar. Then I realized what it was. I ran to the [START] button and scrolled through the list of apps. There it was, the Mozilla Firefox logo. The fox was missing leaving behind a blue globe in its place. This was really interesting.
A few minutes had passed and the fox didn't move an inch. "Well, I must have been seeing things", I said aloud, ready to sit back down. "Wow! I guess you can talk after all", I heard a voice say. I turned around quickly with a shocked expression.
"Yes, it was me. I can talk unlike usual foxes", the fox said. With a relieved expression, I thought to myself, "I can finally get some answers now". "Hi, my name is Sam. What is this place", I asked the fox. "Welcome to the digital world, Sam. It is very unusual to see humans in the world here. Very rare indeed", the fox replied. "How do I get out of here? I was just playing a game called the 'digital odyssey' when I got transported into this place in the blink of eye. This is my laptop and a very unusual laptop it is. It's the whole reason I got into this place" "No, you've got it all wrong… Your laptop is completely fine, and a very good one too. The unusual thing was the game you played. It wasn't a normal game, it's something different. I've heard of games like these before, it's called a 'Virus' or something like that. It disguises itself to trick the user. This place has been acting differently ever since you tapped on that game. But, no worries. I think meeting the empress of the digital world will help us solve our problem." "The empress? Where is she and who is she? Can you lead me to her, Mr. Umm..?" "Call me Mozart. And yes I can help you find her. She is quite a long way ahead. We'll have to travel all the way through the treacherous Hardware hills, painful wired valleys, and the impenetrable Firewall, before finally reaching Circuit Kingdom and meeting the empress. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, we'll have to go through many small towns in our journey and these three are just the most dangerous passages."
"Well, what do we have to lose? I guess we have to get started right away, Mozart."
