Chapter 2
Liora
💭 I’ve been following this bunny for about 20 minutes now, we’re walking really slow since I have to match its hopping…
Liora
Uhm, can we take this time to explain how I exactly time travlled, as you’ve said.
Roe twitches his whiskers, too preoccupied to have heard what the person behind him said.
Roe
Oh huh? Did you say something❓
Liora
How did I time travel?
Liora
There’s no science to explain it.
Roe
That’s something we should talk about when you’re ready for a set of history lessons.
Just when they finished talking, they reached a beautiful rundown small house in a small clearing the middle of forest.
Roe
You’ll be staying here for a while. Come let me show you in.
Roe
The key should be right in front of the door here, under a rock.
Roe
Aha! This rock, lift it for me please.
Liora
💭 I’ll be staying here? Alone? Sounds like staying here might be fun for a while…
As they began to unlock the door, twisting the semi rusted key trying to open the old door, it opened.
The dusty atmosphere filled inside the cottage flew past the door, as if the air inside had been desperately waiting to be let out.
Roe
No one has been here for a while, the previous person who lived here was a witch.
Roe
As far as I know, she went away to another country. That was 50 years ago thought, it’s a surprise this place is still standing.
Liora looked around, stunned by the small details and furniture all over the interior decor.
A kitchen with beautiful rustic cabinets and intricate carves, a living room adorned with dusty figurines and floral fabrics, woven carpets with beautiful patterns…
Liora
💭 I wonder what the upstairs look like?
Liora explored and entered another room, it wasn’t obvious in from when you stood from the door but it was filled with multiple lab equipments.
Potions, tipped over flasks, jars of herbs, protective equipment…
Liora
💭 So a witch really did live here… I’m starting to be spooked out
Roe
My journey ends here Liora. I will be meeting you when needed. I think everything you need is already in the cottage here.
Roe
If not… well I guess you’ll have to figure it out on your own 🙂
As if he wasn’t here in the first place, Roe disappeared. Simply popping out of the atmosphere without any trace of those fiction magical transitions.
Shamhat
Those Meso mortals have been sending burnt offerings again, it seems that they’ve also resorted to the god of death for pleading.
Shamhat
[sigh] Seriously 💢 are they stupid?
Shmahat, realizing the Anu’s occupied thinking, got curious.
Shamhat
What? Have you done something?
Anu
I’ve taken your recommendation last time
Anu
I took another mortal from the modern era.
Ishtar, who wasn’t even previously in the room, suddenly appeared from the walls.
Ishtar
You took a MODERN human to Sumeria?
Anu
What? [rolls eyes] I’ve sent Roe to assist her already, she’s now living in the old hag’s house
Shamhat, who was confused about Ishtar’s disbelief, raised his brows.
Shamhat
What? What does it mean?
Ishtar
It means Ayrish will come for us‼️
Ayrish: the goddess of time.
Shamhat
You and your stupid crush
Ishtar
What happens if she comes here⁉️ It’s not only about that, don’t you remember what happened to Deimos?
Ishtar
He tried to make a mortal for a bride and travelled to the 1980AD ‼️ Ayrish had to call on Zeus on him
Ishtar
And where’s Deimos now? WE DON’T KNOW
Anu
Alright, stop already.
Ishtar
Then why did you do it⁉️
In that moment, they heard the ticking sound of a clock together with the harmonic flapping of winds come near.
