Mythical World - Blood Legacy - Part 1: Awakening

Chapter 2 - Fated Meeting

We reach the bridge that Celestia spoke off, both me and Dave were just following her and waiting for her to open the portal, Celestia was waiting for the portal to open as I sat down near the river looking at the fish swimming in it, Dave kept looking at her making fun of her inability to open to portal easily, while she ignored his comments and continued to focus on her task, Dave eventually got tired of annoying Celestia and sat down next to me watching the fish.

"This may take a while..." Celestia says as she falls to the floor.

"Having problems on the other side I presume." Dave says looking at her with a smirk on his face.

"Shut it Dave, I just need someone on the other side to open their part of the portal and we can proceed on our journey." Celestia said waving her hand explaining.

"Oh sure... That is so easy." Dave says starring at her with dead eyes.

"It would be simpler if Naoko was around, she is much better at this than me." Celestia says looking around for something.

"Pardon me, who Naoko is, if you don't mind me asking." I asked approaching Celestia.

"Ah, Naoko is a friend of ours, she likes the study of ancient magic like the portals and Aura, she is often helping her family's inn and when she is free she helps us." Celestia said kneeling and picking a rock up.

"I see... So, is she like Dave, or is she like you?" I said pointing at both.

"She is called a Volpemata, she differs from Dave and me, she is a human mixed with an animal in her case a cat, and you'll meet her if we pass by her inn." Celestia said throwing the rock in the river and chanting something.

"Ah, you finally found the source of the portal?" Dave said standing up and approaching us.

"Source?" I asked looking at him.

"Yes, finding the source of the portal from the other side is crucial if we want to get back to the Mythical Realm." Dave said leaning on my shoulder.

"So, if I got this correct we always need the source of the other Realm to travel between them, meaning that we must always have someone on the other side waiting for us?" I said while writing it down on my diary.

"Hey, you're quite smart Joseph; normally it would take days for someone to figure this out." Celestia said touching the river opening a small rift in it.

The small rift that opened in the river appeared to take us to the Mythical Realm, by the looks of it our bodies could go through it without any problems, Dave smiles and goes ahead putting first his legs in and then jumping inside, Celestia shortly after that simply jumps on it disappearing completely, when my turn came I first touched it with my hands to feel what the portal was like, it felt like water however it did not wet my hands, I then put my leg inside and then I trespassed it arriving in a completely different place.

This city was apparently built along the banks of a crystal-clear river and is truly a technological display of wonder. Its allure is matched by the backdrop of a majestic mountain which has helped shape the city to what it is. The climate these mountains brought were what created a chilling atmosphere, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings were designed with shapes and elements found in the mountains.

The skyline is packed with luxurious skyscrapers and each was more impressive than the next. Many different races walk in unison in the streets, from what I can see is a city of few differences grown into a new culture of variety and it's this that unites the all the races. It's this multicultural identity that has truly impacted me.
