The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Dead Or Alive

Third person's POV

Dianne, come here and give me a hand! Janus, don't give in!

After a long while...

Please help them, they risked their lives to save all of you.

I'm running out of mana, Miss, but his wounds are barely healed!

Please, everyone, share your remaining magic to them. 

Elsa, are you okay!?

I'm out of mana,

M-My mana...it's starting recover.

Continue helping your friend, this is at least we can do for helping us.

Is he going to be okay, Miss Sylvana?

If we're not too late, Kiyan.

Janus' POV

I returned to my senses, I feel kind of refreshed like I just woke up from my most comfortable sleep. I open my eyes and I only see darkness, everywhere I look - even on where I'm laying is black. I sat, scratching my head Where am I? I lay back then pushed myself to my feet Hup!

A light suddenly became present and I'm seeing a girl in blue dress but she has wings! Whoa! What are you?

She landed then her wings vanished I'm Sapphira, nice to meet you. Janus blinked in surprise then said defensively No, my mother once said to me to not talk to strangers.

She crossed her arms How rude, I just introduced myself.

I'm Janus, what do you want with me? Aside that, by the way, where am I?

She replied You're in the parallel word - the world where life and death meet. I gulped Where life and death meets? That's creepy! I then realized Wait, so that means that...I'm dead?! Instead of answering my question, she replied with There's someone who wants to see you.

I now remember something Wait, this is the parallel world? Does that mean that you met Kiyan? She said in surprise Yes, you know him? I said proudly Of course, he's my best friend - he told us a story about this parallel world and that he went to another world filled with crazy stuff.

She chuckled He has a big mouth.

I asked Wait, your name's... I only remember what her name sounds like ...Suffering, right? She asked dryly Are you making fun of me?

It's wrong? I heard you said 'Suffering'.

She exclaimed It's 'Sapphira', you idiot!

Yeah, right, hehe, my bad. Hey, can you let me go to that world Kiyan was in?

Really? Aren't you going to ask what's your condition?

I frowned, putting a hand to my chin My condition? What do you mean?

She just raised her eyebrows at me.

I snapped my fingers Yes, am I still alive? She winked at me and replied It's a se-cret.

I could feel my heartbeat rise Come on, tell me. She said instead There's someone waiting for you, you can't keep them waiting. She raised a hand in the air

Hey, answer me - am I dead?

But a blinding light became present that I have to shield my eyes from it! When it vanished, I slowly open my eyes and notice that I'm standing on a town Where am I? This place is creepy, it just transfers you from one place to another!
