Tap... Tap...

Sounds Edlynne's foot step was increasingly vivid. Right now ocularly in her front was a middling dark chamber.
Slowly but sure, she opened up the door and...

It was obscure. Nothing was there and she barely to see. Constrain to vanquish her dread, she went further until she realized her head hit against the wall.

Bugh...

"Holy s-"

Before she could finish her words, she felt very dizzy, her visions turned dim and she fainted unconsciously.

                                        ***

"Ugh..."

Slowly Edlynne tried to open up her eyes and moved her body.
Semi-conscious, she looked around and she got goosebumps.

"Where...am...i..." asked Edlynne to herself, stuttered.

Until a moment later, a big burly man grabbed her—who was still semi-conscious.

How aghast Edlynne when she looked on that 'man' lower body. She speechless thought it was just a dream. She held her breath for a few second, astonishingly.

"You are fine" said 'that' man.

"W...who are y...you?" asked Edlynne stuttered.

"I'm Chiron. Now who are you? Where are you come from?" asked Chiron, The Centaur.

Edlynne didn't answer. She just got thunderstruck with something he wasn't use to see. Subconsciously she noticed Chiron's lower body.

Chiron who was aware of Edlynne's gaze said, "What? This?" "I'm a centaur

Chiron who was aware of Edlynne's gaze said, "What? This?"
"I'm a centaur. Wait, don't tell this is your first time seeing my kind" Chiron continued without hesitation.

Edlynne's eyes widened.

"C...centaur? No way! Is that even real? Lord, where the hell am i?" now Edlynne opened her mouth, bombarded Chiron with various confusing questions.

Chiron raised his eyebrows, he confused and said, "What? How do am i supposed to know where were you come from? Have you lost your memory?"

"Wait"

Without too much thinking, Edlynne moved and looked out from the window on her room.

"Where is this place?" asked Edlynne without averted her eyes from the window where she can saw everybody wore a chiton and some old fashioned stuff.

Chiron sighed, "You are in the Lycomedes Palace, in Skyros" he answered subtly.

Edlynne turned back abruptly and looked Chiron in his eyes, "Palace? In Skyros?" "And why everybody wearing some greek old stuff?" once again she asked too many questions.

Chiron didn't answer at all, he tried to be patience once more and asked, "Firstly, who are you? Your name?"

"Edlynne. My name is Edlynne" answered Edlynne immediately.

"Okay, Edlynne. Can you remember where were you come from? Or do you remember your parents name?" asked Chiron.

Edlynne nodded and said, "Yes. I do remember. I was coming from Edinburgh, United Kingdom to Greece—my homeland—due summer break. My parents name are Leon Zacharias and Emma Grimm. I'm half greek half british"
"Oh, also. All i can remember on the last time was i saw something bizarre on the back side of The Acropolis, i step forwarded and hit my head against the wall, i fainted. And suddenly here i am" added Edlynne in one breath.

Right now the table was turned. Chiron was the only one who unable to say the words.

"Wait in here. Don't go anywhere with yourself" said Chiron and immediately left Edlynne alone by herself.

While Edlynne still confused what was going on, she looked up her head and tried to think harder. Deranged mind began to emanate.

"This is not a dream"

"How do am i could stuck here?"

"What year today?"

"Can i go back to where i belong?"

"Is all these myths even real?"

So many unanswered questions popped up her head.

She spaced out long enough until she realized Chiron was back with 'someone new' in front of her.
