chapter 1

There were sounds of running footsteps and heavy breathing then again if you look up above you could see a giant magnificent palace with dark clouds surrounding everywhere, you could hear and see sounds of thunder and lightening just then Alice woke up.

Alice is a young girl of age 13, she is fair in complexion and has long brown beautiful hair she had just had a dream that was more of a nightmare but was at the least frightened or bothered due to the reason that she had already been used to having dreams like this she just got up from bed and need what was necessary to her that needed to be done.

Alice dad made sure that she and her brother, Jason who was eight years old had their breakfast when she was done Alice started putting a lot of materials in her bag due to the fact that today was going to be a busy day in her school as the school would be testing students to see their capabilities they would be having quite a number of practicals however when it came to things like it meant that things would be super fun for that day that even students loved school when it came to that aspect as Alice was ready and about to leave she stopped and turned to her brother who didn't look like he was going to school that day for some reason and said “aren't you going to wish me good luck ” her brother however said in a sarcastic tone “nah I ain't feeling like it ” thier dad quickly sensed the tension and quickly put a stop to their talk and told Alice she better start heading to school if she didn't want to be late and Alice agreed.

Alice didn't waste time and brought out a tiny black box out of her bag and pressed a button on it then quickly threw in on the ground and it slowly transformed into a bicycle, the world had been advancing everyday there were now multiple ways to easily carry your things even especially when Alice dad was a technician, Alice had got to school early but for the first few classes she spent her time drawing on papers instead of listening to the teachers and when a class that was finally over meaning the fun part of the day would soon start most of the kids stood up in joy and started getting ready mean while Alice had still been drawing when a boy walked up to her she didn't even notice him till he called her name she then realized.

She had borrowed a book from Eric that she forgot to return remembering this she quickly searched for the book and gave him and said to him “am sorry that I didn't return it earlier I forgot” however he responded telling her he didn't but that there was something else he would like to discuss with her when she asked what it was he said that the school authorities had given him the responsibility to organize the next up coming event hearing this Alice told him “really am proud of you that's great ” but Eric told her that he felt it's a bit much and that he would need her help , she then looked into the schedule in her mind when she saw it was ok and not much of her time would be tempered she agreed just then Alice close friend named Julie approached her with an angered expression saying “ Alice I thought we agreed we'd meet up at cooking class and you didn't show up don't tell me you forgot.

Julie was the same age as Alice, she was fair in complexion but had a long high ponytail hairstyle and Alice had made an agreement with her but forgot due to her drawings just then Julie caught a glimpse of her drawing and her anger subsided and she said “ by the way nice drawings there kind of creative” Alice down and noticed that she had been drawing while talking to them what even surprised her most was how she had completed two without even realizing one was a still yet uncompleted palace and the other looked like a forest but instead the cave was man that was stuck Julie immediately took that picture from her hand.

“ they are really amazing won't you agree with me” Julie said to Eric who hesitantly agreed.

You could hear voices of Eric and Julie talking about how the drawing was good but Alice was in thought wondering how that even happened she decided that when school was done she would come home immediately to take a break so she did but on getting home she saw her brother changing to a different pair of shoes and her father wasn't around though it wasn't surprising normally he was at work then her brother said “ dad said he would be coming home later than usual and also remind you to give your offerings to the so called family ancestral sculpture at the back am going to ball practice ” Alice not having much to say just agreed she just immediately went to the back with a flower in her hand to give the offering just to see the back was messed up that is when she realized why her brother told her to give the offering instead of doing it himself and was immediately going to ball practice when she came, he messed the place up but did not want to clean up after it, just then she had running sounds of her brothers shoes running out the door and closing it she ran to call him back but he had already gone far so she just yelled “ little braaat!!!” and went to the back of the house and cleaned it up and carried a tray with the offerings in it to the sculpture usually she would have said since this thing had value her dad should just sell it and hit big time but after growing up with it for so long even she wouldn't want to sell it she guessed her dad must her felt that way to just as she was about to drop the things at the center of the sculpture the chest that was in the middle opened this as surprised Alice a bit she had not seen even the inside of the chest but suddenly she saw a dark smoke like a circle circulating Infront of it before she could say anything the smoke consumed her in it.

Alice had been falling in an unknown place she screamed in fright when she opened her eyes all she could see was that she was in a void that was in the mixture of orange and yellow with sliver sparkles all over it just then another whole opened and the current pushed her towards it she screamed more “ aaaahhhhh!!! Is this the end. as she got out of the place the wind gently landed her on a tree branch Alice didn't know whether to laugh or to cry but as she took a look down to see if she could come down she saw the tree was hanging on a cliff at the sight of this she immediately screamed her life was hanging on a thread she went back even more in order to balance herself just then she noticed something in the sky falling it was her bag a smile immediately flashed through her face ,she took her bag with her before the incident happened so naturally it came with her she can use the equipment to find her way back but she then realized that if her bag falls of the cliff she would be in trouble she jumped to catch her bag while holding to a branch but it fell far from her she shouted when she taught it was gone “ nooo!!!, no, no” this can't be please don't fall ” as she checked to see what had happened she saw her bag hanging in a little a branch almost as if it would soon fall she smiled and gently crawled close to her bag.

As she came closer things were looking even more danger, but she kept coming closer just than she neared her bag and grabbed it just then the branch snapped she fell incredibly fast off the cliff clenching her bag tight in her hands screaming as if she would soon cry just then everything went black. As Alice opened hers eyes she found herself on the ground surprised to see she landed on her bag and was saved from that huge fall, but she was still quite weak but managed to bring herself to stand up she carried her bag and held it tightly and started walking wondering where she was as she came closer she noticed a cave but suddenly saw a strange light shining out of it, so she went in hurriedly wondering what it was just then the light disappeared but for some reason Alice continued to walk in the cave just then she noticed a bit of light not from the one earlier but from the cave up it seems a crash opened a hole in it as she looked down she screamed at the sight everything she has seen so far has been terrifying so far a man had been pierced to the ground by a sphere with chains around his hands on the ground she taught to herself that“ he looks to have been here for so long, but his body is perfectly fine ” she then came closer she slowly removed the chains easily then looked at the sphere that stabbed him through it looked like a beautifully designed weapon unlike those she had seen before unless in the books she came close to the man's heart but didn't hear a heartbeat (duh off course he has sphere on his body that stabbed him through) she stood up and slowly held the sphere and gripped hard and pulled it from his body, and she threw it and fell to the ground just then unnaturally you could suddenly hear a heartbeat making incredible thumping sounds.

“ What is happening here how is his heart beating wasn't he dead a few seconds ago” the man suddenly stood up with a dark aura surrounding him.

just at the look of him you could tell he was beautiful he had a long hair that was mixed with the color black and sliver and he wore an attire emitting a grand appearance it had four colors namely; white, black , red, and golden mixed together he then said in a deep scary voice “ I have been trapped dead on that rock for so long it feels good to be free I will teach my enemies a lesson ” he then looked down and saw a little girl In front of him shaking Alice said to him“ what are you, you were dead just now I pulled that up, and you were ok the next second” the man then said in a dark smile “what do we have here, a little pest I don't really have to time to deal with any of this I will just end you now” he pulls a little knife out,, but suddenly darkness started surrounding it then the blade became 5 times wide he turned to Alice who still on the ground saying“ this is your gift ”everything that surrounded him screamed fear Alice couldn't help but scream to yelling“ aaaaahhhh !!! Please don't kill me ”.
