We wake up as usual, and we quickly prepare, and we head out, and suddenly, Lein bumps into us.
"What's this?" Lein suddenly noticed, "another meet-up? Or just coincidence?"
"Both." We both answer.
"Huh. Maybe it was. What if... DO NOT EVER LEAVE ME ALONE AGAIN?" She asks.
El'Nir and I nods, and we are pretty scared what she might bring. So we head back to the border wall, only with something else. We found all the soldiers dead. Who killed him? We didn't know. After some close inspection, El'Nir knew what killed them. We look at our backs, and we saw the killer. El'Nir's own twin brother, El'Nir So!
"Brother, what in the world...?" El'Nir asks.
"Sorry, I was given mission to kill all... border soldiers." El'Nir So answers.
"Wait, what? Who are you?" I ask.
"Oh, sorry. My name is El'Nir So. This, is my twin sister, El'Nir. She seems to have changed a lot. Companionship?" El'Nir So replies.
"Yeah... that..." El'Nir answers his question.
"Anyways, who are you working for?" Lein asks.
"Proffesor Laura Crafters." El'Nir So answers, surprising the 3 of us.
"Altaris Resistance Helios Division is being run by the Mayor of Altaris?!" Lein asks, surprised and confused.
"Yes, surprised? We found something in the center when the great Jane Frost entered and destroyed evil which was lurking in the Center." El'Nir So answers and explains. In surprise...
I fainted.
I wake up unside the huge mysterious city, El'Nir and Lein looking at me, as well as the librarian Jane and the Mayor Laura.
"How long have I been out...?" I ask.
"2 days." El'Nir So answered. "Must have been some kind of reaction."
"Huh. 5 days since I came. And I think my diary is automatically writing it." I say.
El'Nir checks the diary, and in her surprise, she quickly closes it.
"Right, it was." El'Nir comments. "I think its our diary, not yours."
"Oh." I replied.
I stand up, and we all go out of the hospital. Then, a sudden shockwave knocks almost all of us down. Jane, one of those who is still standing, helps us up.
"What was... that?" I asked.
"Time Reflex." Jane replied. "Lein, is this your first time encountering one?" Jane asks to Lein.
"No, because I use them seldomly to recharge my Time Illusion device." Lein replies, confusing Jane.
"Huh." Jane comments, confused.
"I think Proffesor is involved." El'Nir exclaims.
"Because...?" I start.
"It only affects the 20 sectors, not my little town." El'Nir continues.
Everyone look at each other. Then we head out back to town, and I then felt something and look back.
"What's wrong?" Lein asks.
"I felt something. Must have been something dark." I reply.
"Huh. Anyways..." Laura says, and we all look at her. "Do you guys know, that Mark here, is the youngest, and the 20th human to have entered Altaris without the means of a portal?"
"Oh. That explains how Lein knows a lot of things and so does you, and Jane." I comment. Jane looks at me.
"How did you get in here, exactly?" She asks.
It took 3 seconds for me to remember how. I opened my mouth to speak, and I began to explain.
"I was in my school, School of Faith. I was being... bullied, like anyone else. Then, me and my 3 friends see this weird book with no name. We tried to open it, but we cannot." I started.
"Cannot... what?" Jane asks.
"Open the book. We were about to give up until the librarian said something that opened the book." I continue.
Everyone suddenly looks at Jane, and I wondered why.
"You said that you'll gonna be the librarian of Altaris, not where you studied." Laura firmly says.
"I was there when you said it, tell me." Lein also says.
"A Time Reflex caused a copy of myself with all memories of what I have before I said that proclamation!" Jane explains.
"I believe you. Since, I noticed that, due to the fact that I did saw a 'Portal' in the Center before it happened..." I said, knowing it was irrelevant.
Everyone then looked at me and El'Nir.
"A Portal?" Jane asks.
"Every Time Reflex?" Laura asks as well.
"In the Town Center?!" Lein asks as well, too.
Me and El'Nir look at each other, then we all nod to their questions.
"Oh, then let's go to the Town Center?" Lein proposes.
"Ok. But wait, we should be careful." Jane comments.
"Why?" I ask to Jane.
"Monsters have invaded the Town Center. Here in Sector 2, we are having problems as well." Jane replies.
"Oh, then I should call my friends?" Laura asks.
"Who?" I ask to Laura.
"... nevermind." Laura answers.
"We'll start tomorrow, ok?" I ask. "For now we should find a place to... rest, and predict the next Time Reflex."
Everyone agrees, and then El'Nir looked at me.
"Are you sure you want to know? I heard that people who entered that forget their memories!" El'Nir asks.
"Ok... but, the diary, it's the only way to remember." I answer.
We then head to an apartment, and we rest for the day.
