The vague information that was given to me made me nervous. Was my presence needed?was this some kind of test for becoming a guardian? I had no clue of how can I be of use.
-Master, what exactly am I supposed to do? I mean I heard that Earth had no heir and with the Key stolen and the guardian incarcerated what can I do?
-Foolish boy. Don't believe everything you hear it's nothing but a waste of precious time and energy. There is no such thing as a guardian without an heir. Actually what might surprise you is that indeed there is no heir but an heiress.
-A woman? But what can a woman do? What power does she hold? Has she even trained properly? This is unheard of.
-If I didn't know your father I would have thought he raised a spoiled brat but as I do know him I know that is not true so stop behaving like one already. Even though the heir is female, which has never happened before, and she is indeed clueless and untrained I think she would surprise all of us and hopefully for the better. I assigned you this task because you know our true history and customs like no other and I want you to train her as her father neglected his duty of educating her properly about her inheritance. Understood?
-Yes master. When do I begin teaching her?
-On the next full moon you shall go to Earth and meet her. She is expecting you.
-But master, the next full moon is tomorrow night. I need to gather materials for the lessons.
-I think you could learn while travelling as I expect you to help her recover the Key. Not to mention you can't use your key as it is too dangerous, so you will both travel by moonlight rays back and forth. I leave everything in your care.
-Travel by moonlight rays? But it will take at least 12 moons or more perhaps to even get to Omerta not to mention travelling across every dimension in order to do so.
-ARE YOU PERHAPS NOT PLEASED WITH YOUR TASK?DO YOU DARE QUESTION MY DECISION?
-No matter, I didn't mean it. I will fulfil everything and prove myself worthy of the position that I am about to inherit.
-Leave! You are dismissed! Go prepare for the journey.
-Yes master! I said as I took my leave more determined than ever before to fulfil my mission. Next stop Earth...
After I received the full information about my mission last night I got up early to prepare for my long journey. The first thing I did was gather all the belongings that I thought would be useful, things like judges, magic scrolls for dimensions where magic users live, a portable jetpack for two for those were technology rules and all sorts of charming artefacts and weapons. I like to be prepared for every situation that we might encounter knowing that my travel buddy perhaps doesn't even know how to defend herself.
It was finally nightfall, I had to travel to the point in Anathema where I could travel through moonlight rays. It's nothing like riding the rainbow, there is an exact location in every dimension that allows you to use this kind of rays to transport yourself it's like mystically teleportation, it just sounds super dreamlike and fancy. As I mentioned it transports you to a specific location not exactly where you wish like the keys.Kind of inconvenient if you ask me. Anyway, after landing on earth I will use my teleportation device and transport myself where I should meet this peculiar soon-to-be guardian.
A few hours later I landed on Earth, on a remote island I think and immediately teleported to a land called Europe, like in the stories my uncle used to tell me when I was a child about a beautiful girl kidn*pped by a God. He was unlike anyone in Anathema , he was interested in everything about the other dimensions. He loved Earth the most, it's stories about the ancient time, their mythologies. I also used to love them but I was young and naive as they are nothing but stories, the depths of one's imagination or perhaps insanity. I stopped believing in stories after he betrayed my father and causing the famous riots between the doms in Anathema only to leave and never return, he was banished not to set foot on our land ever again. I promised myself that day that I will do everything in my power so that sentence is fulfilled properly.
After teleporting in front of this girl house, which was huge but old-style, at least for my Anatheman taste, I thought that the most common thing to do was knock on her door but there was no answer. I tried knocking again but this time I heard a faint noise that came from upstairs, no doubt from the second floor. I was too annoyed to wait for her to gather her courage and open the damn door so I climbed her house and got in a library through the window. In front of me was this gorgeous being focused on some papers at her desk full of books. Even in the dimmed light coming from the desk light, I could clearly see her delicate features and her long flowy, glossy hair, her slim and enchanting figure. I was mesmerized, I stared at her for a whole minute until she noticed me. she didn't scream like I had expected she seemed rather calm and shy and was just staring blankly at me as I was leaning back on the wall unsure if I should start speaking first, rather regretting that I disturbed her peaceful aura. What now?...
