So this is like a gaming interface that can change anytime according to the need, but one I don’t have any control over whatsoever, just like a passenger going for a ride, but you know this is my life and I have to have control over it by any means, but for now I will go along this ride where ever it may take me, until I can change things by my own hands. I don’t care if they read my mind, see my actions, or even be able to control my body. I will win in the future, that is a promise.
Now I came to know that this old man, I mean, a middle-aged man, was an emporer of a country that I don't even have the luxury to search for in the database. At least for now, I became interested in the request that he had for us, at least for the grownups since no one will entrust a child like me with a request. The emporer was looking at us one by one, his eyes finely setting on me, and strangely, he started saying, “Now let's go, I will explain everything to you when I can.”
I nodded to him and looked for confirmation at Ajbadan, and he confirmed by also nodding at me and then saying, "Let's go, and let's keep the same formation.” It took us a couple minutes to reach an opening with a huge boulder in the center of it, surrounded by a few other rocks, like somebody had broken part of a mountain and scattered it around the area. Behind that huge boulder were a few people, four women, two children, and an older boy with a long rifle in his hand and it was pointing at us as soon as we cleared the tree line and set our foot on the clear area.
The First EncounterPart 1AI had been hearing gunshots for a while now, but finally I was facing one pointed towards me, not me in particular but in my direction. That made us hesitate and stop all of us, except the emporer, who, on the contrary, increased his speed towards them. The rest of us, we stood in our place and didn’t move. The boy with the rifle was looking at us, still pointing the gun at us.Although he saw the old man, I mean the emporer, coming towards them, his expression softened a little bit, but still he was pointing the rifle towards us like he was waiting for a signal to start shooting at us. The distance between us was about a hundred meters give or take, and he reached them within a few seconds, then immediately bent down and stared, hugging the two kids and the woman who was holding them while the other three women gave them a space by moving back while standing each in a side, like they were keeping some type of formation.After less than a minute, the empore
The First EncounterPart 1B"I have a request for all of you. I need you to assist me to keep my family safe until I get a way to take back my county." That was the emporer request. Looking around me, I was thinking, What was the reason behind asking a group of odd people gathered in a forest, among them women and children? Also, those people were totally strangers, so was it normal in this world to ask favors from strangers? I don't know why that didn't make any sense to me. At the same time, I was looking around and checking the faces of the people around me and their reactions. The faces of the ladies I was with were without any expressions, except for the surprise of the identity of the man who was talking, and the new group was strangely standing apart, which made me come to the conclusion that they are not together or else they would have stood together.The same thing I was doing, the emperor was doing it also, looking at the faces of the people around him. Although nobody reac
Chapter 23The First EncounterPart 2ASince I made up my mind and decided to tell half of the truth, at least at the moment, the pressure left my shoulder. Still, I intended to tell the emperor the truth when the time was right. I don’t know if he would be able to help me with my situation or not, but all I can do is try, since all I can do at the moment is to go forward. There are no set goals a head of me that I am aspiring to or want to fulfill at the moment. Except that thing deep in my hearth looking for some one or something that I don't know who or what it is, at that one of the ladies started talking and introducing herself; the one with two swords started speaking and said, “Your Highness, my name is Amun; I was in a city called Andoradiya when I left an office building. I found myself in this forest suddenly, although that was not the most strange thing that happened to me but definitely the strangest.”.I thought to myself apparently that what she said was true, for someho
Wake up, wake up, she started in a low voice while trying to shake him hard from the deep sleep he was in. I think there is someone in the house. In half closed eyes, looking at her in the dark room, he reacted by saying, "What? When? Where"I told you there is someone in the house.He stood up hurriedly and awake now, then he said, "Call 911." I will go and check", he looked around and saw a baseball pat around the corner of the room like it was kept for him in that place at that specific time and opened the room slowly, trying not to make any sound, and moved slowly with no idea where to start the search or even what to do if he found the intruder.Nema grabbed her cell phone and called 911, dividing her attention between her phone and the other half listening to any sounds coming from her husband. She doesn't remember what the 911 operator told her after she reported that there is someone in her house. All she remembers is the loud banging sound that she heard and the sound of her
The pain was unbearable for Nema, and it was hard for her to talk, but still, her mind was racing to find out what happened to her husband. The doctor didn't give her any information, which made her worry more. She tried to recall what had happened, but her mind was unable to recall the entire event. Did she pass out, or did something happen to her that caused her to lose consciousness? In a faded memory or in something that looks like a night mare, or some kind of a dream, she thinks she saw two men come into her room while she was on the phone with 911, but the memory couldn't help her. The strange thing is that why can't she move her body? Is that really the effect of the coma, as the doctor says. The pain was getting stronger and stronger and she was on the verge of screaming from the pain when the nurse came into the room with a needle in her hand without a word or even looking at her. The nurse said, "this is for the pain and the doctor will come to see you in a while." With
The unbearable headache that hit my head suddenly woke me up without opening my eyes, holding my head with both hands. I tried to sit down on my bed, but there was no edge to the bed on whichever side I turned my legs, still suffering from incredible pain in my head. I opened my eyes but closed them again quickly because of the very bright light that hit my vision. Once more, I opened my eyes, but this time as slowly as possible. It took me about twenty seconds to adjust my vision to my surroundings, opening and shutting my eyes several times while still suffering from the headache. The scene around me didn't make any sense to me at all. I was surrounded by green grass a few inches high everywhere I turned and looked. This green field is around me as far as my eyes can see and nothing else. Above me is the blue sky, with little clouds here and there, and nothing else. It was the biggest field I have ever seen. Where I am was the first question that came to my mind. Trying to go

Emika was pondering her thoughts when she noticed that the cup in her hand had turned cold. With a sigh, she set the cup down and turned to face the direction; there was a shadow in the same spot where the young man had stood in her dream; she closed her eyes, waited a few seconds, and then opened them again, hoping that what she saw was just her imagination. This distance between where she is sitting and the location of what appears to be a young man walking straight to the west gate is almost 3 kilometers, which was allowing her to see practically perfectly clearly everything except the features of his face that he is a young man wearing a strange clothes. Is it a coincidence that he appears in the same spot as she did in her dream last night, or is he there and this is a premonition? That was the first thought that came to her mind. She returned her gaze to the young man, this time rising from her seat and poking a small object on the table, torching the center of the object wi
