The portal to Apricon.

03

I'm in a huge room, a kind of greenhouse with a private waterfall, its dew forms a really wonderful double rainbow.

It would be nicer if I hadn't been tied and gagged to a chair surrounded by freaks.

I can't help but keep screaming under the gag.

"Can you calm her down?" The same half-naked boy speaks, only now he's wearing some pretty strange clothes.

"With pleasure.

A blond man smiles with 2 damn tails in the...!

"We need her alive, Nero," the black-haired man stopped him and I couldn't agree more.

"Woman... "Bad," said the 2-meter-tall, one-eyed monster.

"What did the bad woman do to you, big guy?" There was a mocking tone in Nero's voice.

Another boy, one with long white hair, rolled his eyes and approached me, very carefully removing the gag from my mouth.

"I'm sorry for the bad treatment, we don't want to hurt you.

He is very friendly... and cute, it looks like it glows.

With a kick I took it out of my sight, my body propels itself backwards and when I fall I manage to break the chair.

I don't waste a second to recover and start running

"WOOH, it's good!" Nero exclaimed.

"Wait!" "I have no idea who screamed and you think I'll listen to you

The Cyclops follows me again and I advance to the first window throwing myself headlong out.

I keep running with my hands tied, looking back to make sure I'm not being followed and walking away from what looks like a fairytale-themed mansion.

I manage to glimpse a small town nearby. There I will ask for help.

However, the closer I get, the stranger everything becomes, the stranger the animals I don't recognize, and the more terrifying the people who look at me in confusion become.

There is a woman with six eyes.

A boy with horns.

And a man with two heads, both smile at me.

I'm in hell!

An atrocious wind ruffles my hair and I feel as if something is landing behind me

"You have to go back.

It is the same voice of the boy with the snake. I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself to see him again.

Clearly never expect to see him with bat wings.

"I just want to go home!"

"Don't ask you," he said, and out of nowhere he lifted me up with him in the air.

It was my life or my life, so I had no choice but to squeeze myself to it so as not to be shattered when I fell to the floor. My throat was screaming so much, I closed my eyes to look down and in a second we were back on the ground, in the fantasy mansion.

There was the Cyclops, Nero, and the albino waiting; But one woman caught my attention, and not only for her beauty but for the feathered wings she has for arms.

"Thank you for bringing her back, Krohonan," she walked closer to me. My name is Annalis, leader of this General Headquarters for the protection of our people; and I am a Harpy.

Even I wasn't aware of the laughter I let out.

"She's crazy," whispered the blond in the tails.

"Oh! I'm definitely ready to dream this," he shouted.

"You're not dreaming," replies the woman. Shrew.

How strange to call a woman that without her getting angry.

"Although we don't know what you're doing here either," he finished.

"And where is it here?" I asked.

"The beautiful Apricon! Welcome to the refuge, human.
