I opened my eyes. I felt something weird about this place. We are no longer in Altaris, I think. And the car we are in is floating in a garage. Jane parks it and we all go out. I am nervous, until El'Nir helped me out.

"Where?" I ask.

"Fortress... 2, I think?" Jane answers.

I look around. I look at Justin and the others, which just woke up. I look at the door and opens it, then spots 3 people talking something about "music." I listen carefully, only for the door to close again. I look at Jane, and she seems to be surprised in what I did.

"Do not ever. Do that. Again." Jane warns.

However, I was naive and I opened the door again. I see the 3 again, only this time running to the other side of a hallway. I can also hear their voices loud.

"Mark, Run! This is gonna be a Time Paradox!" A woman shouts to the man with them.

"Can someone bloody close that door!" The man shouts, then the woman who first spoke looks at the door and points her hand, and it closes.

I look at Jane. She looked exactly like the woman which closed the door.

"Right. Me from the future. I don't know when, but they seem to..." Jane comments.

"To what?" El'Nir asks.

"Use music more than magic nor science." Jane replies.

"If the woman who closed the door was you, then it must be..." I start, then Laura interrupts the conversation.

Laura points at my new watch I recieved from Mr. Crafters.

"You must leave." Laura commands, then Justin, Carolyne and Jessie runs near me.

"But, since your... story hasn't finished, I shall leave you 4 one gift... that watch Mark is wearing." Laura says.

El'Nir looks at me, and I seem to forgot what my plan is. I look back at Laura.

I have never been this focused and scared in my life.

"I want..." I started, then I looked down.

El'Nir seems to have the same feeling, and hesitates for a while.

Jane walks near me, and tap my shoulder.

"You 4 will be the new leaders in the future." Jane advises.

Jane walks near Laura, and the 2 point their hands on me. They start casting a spell, and we feel like being teleported.

I open my eyes. We 4 are back, with our old memories. I am holding a doll which looks like El'Nir. Wait, it is.

"Mark..." a female voice calls.

We 4 look at where the voice came from. It's the librarian. Wait, I look carefully at the ID. It's... someone I cannot remember. We 4 walk near the librarian, and the librarian passes a note for me. I read it.

"Mark Eliar Johnson. The last man that has visited Altaris. Hope to see you again. That dream... is real." I read cautiously, and we 4 quickly remember everything.

The librarian chuckles a bit.

"And that's one hell of a music I'd like to hear about." The librarian comments, and I chuckle back.

"What's so funny?" Jessie asks, while brushing her hair with her comb.

"Nothing. I just remembered about this... peculiar woman who uses a guitar and sings to some old songs." I asnwer, then I hear someone outside.

Justin goes out of the library only to find out a 25 years old woman has come and is playing a song. Jessie and Carolyne listen to the music and identifies it.

I, on the other hand, felt something, and this something is drawing me into one peculiar book that drawed us 4 into Altaris.

Her Own's Genesia.
