“We should not simply search the entire city for newly born babies, brother. How are we going to tell which one is the child if we search for her in that way? That's stupid. What if we get the wrong baby and think she is the child of the prophecy?”. Leon, the second son of the ruler, said to Jay, and I wouldn't hide it. He was right. I was so blinded by my feelings for the first son, Jay, that I didn't notice that his strategy had a lot of plot holes inside them.“Then what do you suggest we do? Do you expect us to sit down and do nothing?”. Jay asked him and sounded annoyed. Or was I the only one who noticed it?Rather than replying to Jay, Leon stood up from his throne, making me naturally become curious. I wanted to see what he was about to do. He stepped down from the golden and red carpeted stairs which led to the thrones, and he walked towards lady Katherine and me. My breathing hastened, and I tried the best I could to avoid eye contact with Leon or any members of the chosen
“You can have your seat, Lady Katherine and her assistant”. The ruler said to us, and I helped the seer to sit down, before I sat down beside her. I told you. I was low in status. My name wasn't even known by the chosen family, but it was labeled as the seer's assistant. How can someone like me ever dream of being involved with someone as magnificent as the ruler's first son? How could I ever dream of being a family to the chosen family of Gwafindol? I must be a daydreamer. But I thought it was only the ruler that the lady seer wanted to see? Then why did his whole family decide to come with him to the throne room? “Feel free to talk before me, Lady Katherine. It was reported to me that you have something important to discuss with me concerning the book of prophecy you have been guarding this whole time”. The ruler said to the lady seer, Katherine. Most of the time of their discussion, I made sure to lower my gaze to the floor, because of the way noble lady Gemma, who was wea
“What? Say something. Why are both of you staring at me like that?”. I asked them and stopped smiling. “Are you sick by any chance, Miss?”. Ellie asked me, confusing me. “Why do you think so?”. I asked her. “We don't even know you. Neither do you know us. And you want to stay in our house with us? What if you are a dangerous person with an ulterior motive? Additionally, our parents told my brother and me that it is not our world that is dangerous, but the people living in it”. “They equally told my brother and me that we should not trust any strangers. I can not allow you to stay with us at our house. So, please leave, Miss”. Ellie said to me and had become hostile towards me. “I seriously mean you and your brother no harm, kiddo. I only need a place to stay for a few days. You may find me weird, but I need to know and learn more about this world, Selitopian. I am searching for someone special in my life. My parents”. I tried to explain to Ellie, but she didn't seem to stop stari
“Wait. How old are you guys?”. I asked Ellie out of curiosity. But I did not expect my question to make her look at me like I was some kind of weird person. “My brother and I are eighteen years old this year”. Ellie replied to me and I lost my composure and fell to my butt on the floor. What did my ears just hear? They are... 18 years old? How? Why? How?!I began to wonder but suddenly stopped wondering when I thought of someone similar. Me. I was up to 40 years old, but my colleagues believed I was 20 years old, because of my young appearance. Then it hit me. A flash of memory came into my mind, making me remember what happened after I entered the temple. That stone coffin. The coffin sucked me in, and I lost consciousness afterward and ended up in that field. Was it some sort of teleportation portal? Cool. But not that cool since I was the one who experienced it. If that coffin was truly a sort of teleportation portal, then where the heck am I right now?“Em, Ellie, are we b
Upon chasing the little boy, I entered a narrow alley, before I arrived at a totally different place. By a totally different place, what I meant to say is that this part of the city was a disaster and completely different from the buildings from earlier. The only decent houses I saw were the ones with a complete roof, and that was all. The walls of each building were peeling. I was stunned, and stood there watching. What was the government of our country doing about this situation?I wondered, then I saw the boy who had stolen my cell phone. He panicked after seeing me and began to run again, until he entered a house that had a faulty wooden door that had almost fallen off. As for me, I didn't stop. I went after him and entered the house too. The house was in bad shape. There was not a single chair inside the living room. Only a table. The living room was basically empty, and needed repairs asap because of the many cracks in the walls. There, I saw the little boy. He wasn't
I remembered entering the temple, but I didn't know what happened after that, and how I ended up in this place. Suddenly, I lowered my gaze and glanced at my jacket. My eyes widened, and I had to look at the jacket again, because I could not find the body camera that I had hung on the jacket before I entered the temple. I rose to my feet quickly as I looked around, but the body camera was nowhere to be found. I even had to remove my backpack from my back and look inside of it, searching for the body camera, even though I was certainly sure that it was on my jacket that I had hung the body camera earlier. With my backpack on the floor and my hands on my hips, I began to wonder. Today seemed really off. That village, especially that temple, was weird. I have to return home now. Later, I will return to the village with my colleagues to explore it together. I grabbed my backpack and hung it on my back, before I began to leave. Twenty minutes after walking endlessly with heavy groan
