-Hello? You must be the one that was with mister DranGon?
Doke, the stranger, asked as Shawon and Blank approached.
-Yes and thank you so much for helping him out. The situation was a little hasty and I couldn't pick what to prioritize.
Blank had a look around, it seemed as like Blank hadn't been outside for quite a time.
-So this is DranGon... why does he look familiar...
-You met or know him before, Blank? -Shawon asked.
-I don't know, just seeing him somehow rang my bell yet I could not make clear of the memory. Back to the main thing, what happened to him?
-We were chasing the vine when us all fell from such high place and he did not make the fortunate landing... alongside the past wound.
-That does not sound good. Can you carry him in? I hope it's not too painful for him but I got some to help aid the pain.
-And you, stranger, thank you for staying with the man for a bit. Though I'm sorry for any inconvinience that you had to stop here.
Doke quickly made a polite appriciation:
-No worry! I could not bear leaving an injured unguarded. And if you all could somehow make it, the village is nearby if it's needed.
-Oh wait, there is a village nearby? -Blank was shocked, really implied that he did not leave the dungeon he had been in for way too long.
And everyone went on their own way from there...
___
The trio of Dirotor, Worgan and Ravirk still in the deep, deep, dark and dim place.
-I don't think I'm very positive about this place, we should really go back...
Ravirk turned over for a confident voice:
-But what if we would be stopping right before we find Krayjer?
It was weird when the next few footstep while the conversation went on was the sound of walking on metal.
-Wait, what are we walking on?! Why are there a whole place with metal plating?
-Could this be a trap? Everyone Freeze!
Immidiately stopped moving as Worgan shone the light around... it had such straight, sharp and angular structure, the place felt... alien.
-I do not think this is a trap, but definitely not something we see usually.
Everyone continued going in, through the doorframe that looked like it was made of angular and straight line metal material. As suddenly to be hearing a weird noise, it felt just like an alien!
-What is this? Everyone focus, we might be in trouble!
In the corner of the place, something glows white started to move, a dot that looked like an eye, slowly moved off the giant glass-looking tube. The motion suggested it just got up, after such it was silence for the rest of the motion, it started looking at the trio in worry, and then such thing said:
-Be not afraid, I'm harmless. This place does seem dark to you guys so let me lighten it up.
The mysterious white glowing-eyed figure moved to the opposite corner of the room, and did something with a click. The whole place lit up with such magical mechanism, bright, white and seeable. The mysterious figure appeared to be a fully metal armour with shiny round parts between certain body part, appears in darker color than the metal. The face had the curved horns and black mohock on the head. The head looked like some strange glowing that immitated its eye.
-You are all look shocked. Where am I now? Why is my recharging chamber covered in some vines?
-What are many of the words you are saying?
-My words? My apology, you guys look... you all must be in the medieval era thus most of what I said did not make sense. I will need to note that down as I go on with the talking.
The figure slowly walked over, slowly but confidently and friendly.
-I'm Kortur, a mechanical living that was made and created by my dear creator, Blank. And you three...
-Dirotor, Worgan and Ravirk. We are here to look for our missing partner that was dragged into the cave and we couldn't find where they are.
-A cave? Mind let me have a look outside.
Kortur walked outside, and to him, he was shocked.
-Why are we in the cave? This looks so weird. Aside from that, you three must have entered my labatory through this cave, correct?
-Yes. We could help lead you out to help you with that.
The three including Kortur followed out of the cave. Kortur was constantly surprised by the surrounding of the cave and to be looking around on every nooks and cranny...
___
It did not take long when Kortur then looked to one of the cave and said:
-Wait, this must be the way to my professor's room.
-And this was where we passed by. And there was another path here? That rock right there was in such place we did not see the other path in.
-Wait, Kortur? My dear you are awake!
The shout from inside echoed out, it sounded like Blank's.
-Blank? I'm out here! -said as Kortur rushed inside... and the other three had nothing else than followed in.
-Oh here are you three, you guys really went in there and... met this big metalic creature here?
-I think it's better you call him by robot, basically a mechanical living. And this is my brewing room alongside where I stay... which DranGon is currently resting on. And you, Kortur, you woke up. How was your rest?
-It felt refresh to have full energy again. I miss you so much as I had to lie down to charge myself while managing my memories.
-Right... so we are almost done with my portal. It needs a bit more to have it done brewing.
-But Blank... we are here in searching for the missing person. He were grabbed by the vine and we had not been able to fine them. By any idea you know where he is?
-My vine was not controlled by me, but if I had to take the guess...
Someone ripped through the wall... it was Krayjer, pulling out the sturdy vine and roots off to squeeze his body through.
-To guess that I... huuffff hufffff... that I was dragged into the wall and the vine was like trying to suck something out of my body. Glad I'm unharmed and managed to get back here.
-So this is all of our crew, what are you doing here?
-I'm making a portal to travel to a different universe... or accurately said into the different timeline. We had been travelling through times so it was surprising when I heard that we landed on such medieval timeline like where you guys are right now.
-That a lot of technical word... I can try swallow it as time goes on.
-We are missing an important ingredient and it has to be someone who had been from that different timeline...
-...me...
A dry, tired, shaking, deep but clear voice came from the bed... and it was DranGon...
-Dran? -Kortur turned around and tried lifting Dran up as he tried to sit up.
-I know I had this hidden from everyone but... I actually came from a different timeline. A far far timeline that no memory recovered than when I'm here. And that is how I'm such old aged just for that reason. And you, Blank, I believe I met you before...
-DranGon, I had the same thought but... when?
-I could not recall... and what are we doing and where are we?
It looked like everyone were missing pieces of understanding here and there. They were all alien, strange and out of ordinary. They all sat down and shared all the happenings they knew up to this point.
