"Why do you have that? It's the same.. the same scar that I have. What. What is going on?" Anna asked, in a much urgent tone now. 

Michael looked at her gently and beckoned her to the table at the corner where two wooden chairs stood against the backdrop of a beautiful landscape of rolling hills. Anna walked over slowly, still unsure if she could trust this mysterious man.

"My name is Michael. Um. Where do I start? There are a lot of things that you don't know right now and I know it must be confusing. But, I can't tell you much. I have to confirm your identity first and figure out why you have that scar. All I can say for now is, you are in a safe place. You don't have to worry, we will protect you. You can't go back to the mortal world just yet. Not till we figure out what's going on" 

Anna narrowed her eyes at Michael. She whizzed around and bent down, searching the whole room for any hidden cameras. This had to be a reality show. Mortal world? What kind of a sick joke was that? She needed to get out. Anna grabbed the vase that lay on the ground and held it as a weapon against Michael. She slowly edged towards the door, ready to run out. 

Michael had gotten up now and was looking her dead straight in the eye. His gray eyes were narrowed and brows furrowed. He had anticipated her trying to run away but found it ridiculous. Why couldn't she understand? He was trying to help her. 

As Anna made a dash for the door, it suddenly shut and locked itself. Anna grew angry and ran towards Michael. With a swirl of the hand, Anna was pushed to the chair and her hands and legs were bound within seconds.

With a sigh, Michael took to his seat opposite her, once again. 

"Anna, I can presume you think I'm lying to you. But I'm not. I am a Dexrin. Dexrins are not mortals. We look exactly like mortals, and lead similar lives, except that we possess powers. The land that you are now is called Aristoliana, and it is 10000 light years away from the mortal world so getting back will not be possible unless a Dexrin like myself brings you back. So, dont think of escaping, please. It's not safe for you, a powerless being to roam in the magical realm of Aristoliana. Now, I've given you more information than I was supposed to, so just cooperate with me, It's for your own good." 

Just then, a deafening sound filled the air and with a blinding light, everything around Anna was destroyed.
