I continue to move forward while following Ethan closely in what looks like a cellar filled with old, decrepit furniture, decomposing or literally mummified rodent corpses. I have the impression of being in a horror film or nightmare or even both, it doesn't inspire confidence in me at all.

Y/n: I'm continuing to search, if it doesn't bother us, maybe we can find something useful or a clue about this famous village. I move forward into the dark shadows, I touch my fingertips to find my way in this dark environment.

Y/n: Ethan, there is a wardrobe!

Ethan comes closer to me with his flashlight and points it towards the cabinet in question, while he shines the light on me, I carefully open this dilapidated piece of furniture, I let out a scream
Ethan: what happened to y/n? Why are you shaking and screaming?
Y/n: a...a...
Ethan: a what?
Y/n: A RAT, AHHH
Ethan laughs, he literally doubles over laughing, to the point of a growl and heavy footsteps, sometimes before screaming in this kind of situation I'd better shut up.

Ethan: stop yelling, or you risk getting us killed y/n...
Y/n: yes, it's okay, I understand!

The heavy footsteps that we heard earlier we stopped, but not the howling of the beast

y/n: what if we went back up to see what was happening
Ethan: ok, but I go ahead, and I am armed
y/n: go ahead ma'am, I'll take it from you

Ethan advances with his pistol drawn and ready to shoot in case of problem, we arrive at the top of the stairs, the sunlight dazzles us. It's only been a few minutes since we arrived here, it was night, and now it's daytime... time passes so quickly, I have the impression that everyone passes faster here.

Y/n:Ethan, don't you feel like the night went by too quickly? We arrived maybe 15–20 minutes ago it was pitch black, and now it's daylight as if it was, I don't know I would say noon.
Ethan: yes now that you mention it, I didn't even pay attention to it. Despite the weather looking different, it's not just that. Ethan passed under the shelf which had fallen while we were in the basement, I did not take long to do the same thing, I passed keeping my eyes closed to get used to the light. When I got up, I opened the eyes and see Ethan with a horrified look on his face. He looks at these hands, and they are covered in blood, by deduction I look at mine which were also covered with liquid dripping still warm. I turned around and noticed that all the little house was ravaged by I don't really know what, or I don't know who.... Then I heard him laughing.

Ethan *still laughing*: y/n what is this serious rag
y/n: it's not just any rag, it's my comfort blanket
Ethan: do you still have a blanket at your age?
Y/n: wow, but you're ironic... I didn't know, what is a natural gift or are you just forcing yourself to be a real idiot. This t-shirt is from my favorite group, and it goes with me wherever I go
Ethan: ok sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, just lighten the mood a little because if you don't see it, it's not a place and a situation that we see every day...
Y/n: ok your Highness, but if we could continue to move forward, because we will take root here if this continues.

I take my phone and my headphones and I put on a song from my favorite band to relax and slowly start to move forward. I climb over a wooden barrier and concentrate on my music until I arrive at the entrance to the village, or I pull the headphones from my ears and gaze at the landscape in front of me. My eyes are lost on the immense castle at the bottom of the village.

T/p: Mom, I hope you are here, because it's a beautiful village
Ethan: you find it magnificent, it looks like there was a civil war here, between the completely destroyed houses and the impression that we are somewhere where time has stopped as if by magic
y/n: I have the impression that you don't know what real beauty is, my dear

I take out my phone and take a photo of the castle, I find this place just magnificent, I look at the network here, enough for me to quickly call my father and my best friend


y/n: wait for my cat before continuing, I want to try to call my father
Ethan: yes you can always try, but I guarantee nothing

still having my phone in hand, I go to my father's contact and the video call, having completely forgotten the state I am in

Ethan: really the best idea to call him by video knowing that you are covered in blood
y/n: I actually forgot the details, but don't worry, I'll manage... It's still ringing, I'm crossing my fingers, so I can talk to him just a little
Marc: hello y/n, how are you? So Romania?
Y/n: hello dad, it could be okay if my traveling companion wasn't a fool...
Ethan: I heard you, y/n you'll see, you lose nothing by waiting
Mark: it's good if you're not alone, and Romania? What's on your face and your clothes... BLOOD... y/n why do you have blood, you're not hurt I hope?
Y/n: dad don't worry, it's not mine, not Ethan's... but the search looks more perilous than expected, wait, I have to show you the village where we are ...

I turn slightly to show the landscape to my father...

Y/n: admit the landscape is magnificent, Ethan says hello...
Ethan: *moving closer,* Hello sir

Ethan waves hello then moves aside to let my father admire the landscape, I give him a panorama by changing the camera so that he can also enjoy the exceptional view

Marc: it's a magnificent place, even if the village seems in a pitiful state, but what a magnificent castle I see there... and so what's new for your mother?
Y/n: yes the castle is just pure beauty, no for the moment nothing new. We just found a photo with a woman and a first name, wait I'll show you
I take the photo out of my bag, and put it in front of the phone, so my father can see it...

Y/n: here is the woman in the photo, we think her name is Miranda...

Then the big white one, then Marc drops his phone in shock

y/n: DAD, IS IT OK? DADDY ANSWER ME...
Ethan: y/n are you okay, what's going on?
Marc: sorry sweetie, I'll have to leave you...he hung up without further ado, I turn to Ethan in shock
