Chapter 6: "Another World" Part 1/3

Soon enough Akemi found herself standing in a bubble of nothingness with her friends and the old woman, suddenly it seemed the bubble started to hover Akemi could see everyone was shocked, Akemi wanted to move but she was too afraid, the bubble had now started rapidly rising  suddenly it was black and there were stars everywhere, it was like they had entered space itself. The bubble went in between a giant circle of big stars then went hurtling back down, Akemi made out a world that looked different from the earth in space, the bubble suddenly started hovering gently until it finally landed, the bubble disappeared immediately after that. They were standing in a forest of odd trees full of movement it looked very real.

“You all look surprised, you have the right to be... this is Sairia, a planet on the reverse side of the sun, it is exactly where the earth of mortals is, it is perfectly in line with it. Because of this... time runs the same as your world, but I think you’ll find when you get back to your world nothing would have changed.” The old woman explained.

“Ok I think I have a question,” Shou started “WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU TAKEN US OLD WOMAN!?” Shou was clearly going insane; he began waving his arms around frantically.

“Calm yourself... young fool.” The old woman said calmly. “Cast aside what you see, and instead reach out with your perceptions.” She added cryptically

“I don’t know what that means old lady, but I’m just interested IN WHY YOU TOOK US AWAY FROM OUR WORLD!” Shou shouted.

The old woman smiled, “All will be answered in time, explore your surroundings find useful information, while I… prepare for certain events.” The old woman’s sentence trailed off, then without a word she disappeared.

“Ok let me get something straight WHY did she just leave us here!?” Shou bickered

Takeo looked like he was thinking, then he said, “Calm down Shou, she said we had to explore our surroundings and find… Information?” Takeo then went quiet.

“Maybe we should do what the old woman said,” Kasumi suggested, “Maybe she might take us home, although I don’t believe her I think she must have played some sort of trick on us.”

Akemi was very puzzled, she was convinced with what Kasumi said, “I think Kasumi’s right, she might have just put us to sleep or something, we could all be having the same dream.” Akemi said

“Well we can’t just sit here! We should start moving I wanna ask that old woman a few questions when I wake up.” Shou said energetically, then he ran off.

“Shou you idiot! Wait up! You can’t just run off.” Kasumi shouted then ran off after him.

“We should go too Akemi.” Takeo said, Akemi nodded and then they ran to catch up to them.

Just after they had run out from the forest they saw Shou running toward a big town, it wasn’t far from the forest, and Kasumi wasn’t far behind him either.

“Whoa! Look at that town it looks so pretty.” Akemi said

“Yes, it is quite impressive.” Takeo replied “I wonder if this world is in the same century as us.” Takeo added

They were almost at the town when suddenly Akemi saw a strange thing on the ground, she picked it up, it was pink in color and it looked like a fruit, it also felt like one too.

“HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING WITH MY FRUVAP FRUIT!?” a squeaky innocent voice shouted.

Akemi was confused she couldn’t see anyone, then she felt a tug on her skirt.

“Down here!” the voice said, Akemi was then staring at a little girl who had brown hair and eyes, she was wearing a white dress with hints of red and pink colours below the elbows and ankles. The girl looked similar to a 7 or  8 year old child.

“Umm I’m sorry I didn’t know it was yours, I just found it on the side of this path.” Akemi replied to the girl “Here you can have it back.” Akemi then handed the fruit back to the girl.

“Thank you” the little girl replied “Are you coming to Rasfield to do some jobs? I hear Isamu is planning a big move on Uta castle soon.”

Akemi had no idea what the girl was talking about, she was thinking of what to say but then Takeo spoke for her.

“We are just travelers looking for a place to stay tonight; do you know a good place to stay?

Akemi smiled, "Nice save Takeo."

“Of course I do! I happen to be friends with someone who owns the place; may I take you to the Rasfield Rise Tavern? It’s not far from here, follow me” the girl began walking “Oh and my name’s Sayuri by the way it’s nice to meet you, oh and I’m 18 years of age.”

Akemi and Takeo looked at each other; it was a real eye opener to see that a girl this small could be 18 years of age and she was Takeo’s age which was a shock. They just followed her into the town admiring the Steampunk-ish houses.

The next thing Akemi knew was that she was standing in front of a big wooden building that had a big sign that said ‘Rasfield Rise Tavern’ it looked like a cozy place to stay and Akemi was excited to see the inside.

“So here it is!,” Sayuri said very energetically, “it may not be much at the moment, but Isamu the town founder said that when we expand towns he will gladly upgrade the tavern, did I happen to mention that we sell the best drinks in all of Sairia.” She had a very proud look on her face.

“This will be an excellent place to stay, thank you.” Takeo said

“I think it’s time you met the brew master, his name is Daisuke, and can you keep a secret? I kinda sorta like him.” Sayuri Whispered openly. Then she opened the doors and they all stepped inside, the first thing Akemi saw was a giant man with a big smile on his face he was tending the bar with great skill Akemi was amazed at how he flipped bottles just before he poured them it was fantastic.

“Ahh new guests!” the deep but kind voice said “Come sit what’ll it be today?”

“These are my new friends Daidai, they are here to stay with us for awhile!” Sayuri said squeakily

“Oh I’ll be glad to have all of you stay! Let me just get the beds set upstairs sit and enjoy yourself while you wait.” Daisuke said kindly.

Just at that moment Akemi felt a pang in her chest she realized that Shou and Kasumi were somewhere in the town!
