*Whoosh*
Why do I always seem to fall into a bottomless pit of chaos?
Who can end this torment for me?
I had already gotten used to falling infinitely every ounce of fear had been erased, I'll just wait until...
....
"Awaken Fern Lun"
In front of me stood the goddess herself, her eyes glowing a feint red signifying the presence of her strange power.
What was this power?
It wasn't only reading minds, was it?
Again, she could do all she wanted with my body and my soul, this would seem to be a bother in the future imagine being able to shut me down and let me easily lose a fight I could have won.
"No Fern Lun you would have lost that fight, your soul would have been in the deepest recesses of Hades if I had not protected you. You do as I say when I say it, is that understood?" these words fell off her lips as casual as she had ever been since the moment I met her
She can actually read minds...
"Mask your thoughts Fern Lun it's that easy"
Her eyes turned back to bright blue.
Ohhh she's good.
But taking a look around I could easily tell that this place was not the mental prison, but it was isolated.
"Where'd everyone go?"
"Their residents, where else?", she said nonchalantly "Get up let's go"
She got up and left the room
From the encounter of dying and being put in a dream prison I had learnt not to ask question, but where could I possibly go with this lady. Was she the one that brought me back to life the first time?
Guess I'll find out later.
I stood up from where I laid on the ground, almost passing out from light-headedness, I followed right behind.
[I'll make this right... I promise]
...
I really don't know what i expected the outside of the room I was basically born to look like; The room where i was 'born' was white to every nook and cranny, while the corridors that we stepped into were filled with blue lilacs and precise textures lining the walls with gold making it seem like the place we stepped out of was for lower class 'Conduits'.
She walked down the halls with me right behind her.
"Umm... Alexa?"
"Do not ask the question yet, you are not ready for the answer you seek...", she said the question making me realize that she had been creeping around in my head. That explained the light-headedness earlier.
"If you do not appreciate a person with the seed of mental intrusion poking around in your thoughts you I suggest you mask your thoughts", she said not even bothering to look back at me while she was talking.
Oh well.
...
After walking for about a minute, we eventually reached the end of the corridor and descended the building.
We found our way out of the building, and for me a huge load had been taken of my chest.
I honestly never believed I'd leave the room. Ever.
"Where to, my lady?", asked an older man on the side slacking.
He didn't even bother to look my way
"Lantara estate in Lorch province"
"Ohh my lady how was class?", quickly fixing his posture before casting a few hand signs and a door opened in thin air
Wait...
A freaking door.
On thin air?.
"My... Lady?"
She looked at the old man's direction
"Is that lad going with you?"
"As a matter of fact, he is George Timbard. He is in my servitude, Fern Lun"
"Oh... good day sir George Tim...", how much more awkward could I possibly get?
"...", he did not even cast a look at my direction, not even once
Alexa walked into the door immediately I was done with my awkward introduction, I was a bit hesitant to walk into a door that just happened to appear on thin air that an old man created.
I felt a coat of cold air envelop me.
It felt like Alexia, so it was kind of soothing.
She was the only person I knew after all
...
Next thing I knew we were in a different location.
It was a garden, a very big garden.
From the point Alexia and I stood it was a beauty, i looked over to Alexia to speak but the look on her face stopped me.
This was a look of appreciation.
She looked at the estate in wonder the beautiful field of different flowers and the beautiful scent of honey and magic in the air.
A blush appeared on her cheek.
She really was the goddess of beauty; as the sun hit her face from the spot we stood on, she was like a brighter moon reflecting the solar rays back to my eyes.
Elegance and magnificent, in everything she did.
I could really kiss this lady next to me...
She shot me a dirty look, like she knew exactly what I was thinking about, because she did.
And she was not very happy about it
I was right next to her at this point so I could see her blonde hair tainted as it was with the black streaks running across a few sections of her hair, I felt a presence of magic on her that wasn't supposed to be there.
My presence but how?
I wish I knew how it worked so I could better analyze...
Wait a minute...
So that's how it works...
*FOOM*
The light-headedness dissipated.
"Impressive Fern Lun seems like I'll have use for you"
She's finally out of my head.
"Come, we must not waste any more time we have so explaining to do"
She was headed straight into the walking path of the garden; I'm guessing we are headed for the mansion itself.
What could she possibly want to talk to me about?
Maybe I'll have to move into the Mansion and become a full-time and be her attendant, was she ever going to keep her end of the bargain and help me out with my life before awakening in the room.
It was a long walk my legs started to quake unstoppably i needed to rest, but Alexa was not even tired, and I didn't want to seem like a wuss.
I will persevere
The sun was setting, looking back at the garden the purple orchids fell from the tress and was carried around by small sparks of magic, the fountain was at max capacity. Overall, it seemed like the place was self-managed.
My knowledge of flowers and the garden's magic was perplexing and a little offsetting but I didn't really think much of it
...
It was finally dark, and we had reached the mansion, and my legs had already given out.
The mansion was beautiful; the front was adorned with beautiful scented blue roses, and fireflies enhanced by magic.
Alexa's magic.
The was the reflection of her image on play.
It was the most beautiful place i had ever been to....
Well considering that i was basically born today.
[Hahaha]
My jokes are getting better... It seems i really have lost it talking to myself
Alexa stepped forward like some kind of icon releasing some blue light that let out the familiar cool breeze that held me as we were transported through the door.
I knew that was Alexa's power now i have proof that it was.
The blue light travelled to the grand door of the Mansion into a compartment in the door that shook the door ferociously until it stopped.
*Click*
The door made a sound like a key being inserted into a keyhole when a door is about to open.
*Humm*
The door opened to my surprise inside the mansion was more beautiful; it contained battle amours in almost every corner in the front, adorned with so many gems of different lusters: Gold, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and so many more.
The mansion appeared big from the outside, yet the inside seemed to be bigger maybe it was some kind of space or illusion magic.
Chandeliers mounted everywhere, cases showcasing different battle weapons everything together made the house into the beautiful masterpiece it turned out to be.
Not a single spec of dirt was to be found, yet the place appeared to be deserted. Given the size of the place it would be almost impossible for only Alexa to unless it was...
Magic... Of course, how could I forget.
"Fern... We can come up with a better name for you later. But let's go clean up, you can go clean up in the room right in front of the knight armor with the Red Ruby on its helm. I'd make us something to dine on"
She said before walking out of sight to go clean up on her own, her outfit had been covered in gold blood. She must have strained herself trying to heal me.
That reminds me, who was the guy trying to kill me.
Maybe I offended him back when I still had my memories.
"Damn I'm so sore", the words I said echoed back to me reminding me I had to do clean up.
As soon as I stepped in front of the door, the door had already responded to my being there and opened itself saving me the stress of trying to figure it out.
The room was decorated as expected, but was awfully plain compared to the rest ...
Oh yeah I was a slave how ironic.
As soon as i stepped in the room the door closed behind me and a blob of light appeared Infront of me.
"Fern Lun, welcome"
The fact that a blob of light was talking was enough to make my heart jump out of my body.
"Excuse me?"
