Half Blood

Chapter 4 : The Lost History.

[Allyson's POV]

(What in the world is this?)

That's what came first to my mind after he opened the door. I can't help but see how strange everything is for me.

Mr. Kim and I walked towards the platform; its mechanical glow blinked with our step-lowering down until we reached below.

Everything I saw was screaming fiction to me. Unnatural. I couldn't help but glance at every floating island, adorned with mechanical attachments, slowly passing us. These individuals are different from what humans are.

I noticed mostly everyone is wearing suits. Maybe it's a job. Rushing from one direction to another; harmony in their responsibilities.

There are also flying creatures in the air. I spotted one carrying what looks to be a cargo; shifting from one tower to another.

"Don't look down," Kim spoke.

Don't look down? Why is he saying-

Eyes darting below, I saw how high we are. My legs almost gave up. This is too high. Kim chuckled from my reaction.

Kim asked me about the higher-ups while pushing the button to stop the platform.

"I don't understand what they were saying much. It was about me entering this place unconscious," I answered back.

Kim agrees with a nod.

"One of my men found you lying on the floor as the portal activated."

Really? That's surprising.

"You looked like you came from Eart-. I mean the world outside," I was inconsistent with my words.

Kim chuckled and explained the situation by detail, as we continued walking.

"Am I? I don't think so... The world you are in right now is called Rekoda Magis; it is connected to various worlds. One of them is where you came from, the Overworld."

"We Specias here do not consider this world as a different planet, as flying up there-"

His finger pointed at the blue sky.

"...is practically impossible with our current science and magic. So, it's still a mystery," he added.

Worlds, magic, creatures-words that were labeled as fantasy.

Before I could ask another question, we halted in front of a large skyscraper. Up in the doors were the usual people wearing their black and grey suits.

"Morning, Kim. What brings you here?" A tall woman greeted him as she approached us.
