A familiar smell lingers the air; William’s senses slowly come back to normal as he stretched his eyes open. The first thing he saw was the fan spinning high above him, and a rather interesting ceiling. Up above him is the scenery of a night sky, filled with stars and perhaps a comet or two glittering through the heavens.
William got up from his bed and looked around, a cosy atmosphere surrounded him, with a fireplace just across his bed, the room was dim. The only source of light was the fireplace and the torch that are fixed at the sides of his bed. William spotted a small table beside him, a tray was placed on top and a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of melted cheese toast.
“I see you’re awake.” The wooden door opens as a man in white robes came in, he dressed like a doctor and perhaps he is one, William shook his head to clear his mind. “There on the table is a commentary snack to regain your health status, Mrs. Cornelia suggested we serve you the mortal meal instead of our world’s traditions.” Said the doctor as he gestured the tray of food, “Where am I?” asked William, “Ahh, yes. You are now in Fonte Maximus, child.” replied the doctor, “You’ve been brought here from your home, Earth because you’re our last hope. Don’t you know?” asked the doctor as William shook his head.
“I’ll take it from here, Dr. Renold.” Said a female voice as the door opens again, a fine woman came in as the doctor bowed to her and exited through the door. The woman looked like a 40years old adult, she wore a white layered dress like a bride and walked gracefully across the room. She has waist-length brunette-coloured hair and fair skin colour; she has a pair of sapphire-coloured pupils and a Christian necklace dangling around her neck. “Who are you?” asked William as the woman took a chair from the side table and sat beside William’s bed.
“Seems like I have a lot of explaining to do, huh?” asked the woman as William nodded, she cleared her voice and started: “My name is Elena Cornelia, but everyone address me as Mrs. Cornelia;” “you are now in Fonte Maximus, a neighbouring planet in another dimension better known to your people as parallel universe.” “Here in our world lives all the magical creatures that migrated from your planet since the creation of Man.” Elena continued, “Here is also where we imprison most evil so they won’t harm the mortal’s living basis. We also have Hordicals, which means ‘guardian’ in Grandous Rune, the ancient text that was once the national language of this world;” “we brought you here from the human world because we think that you’re fit to be a Hordical, a gifted one as well.”
“What makes you think I can be this guardian person? I’m just a kid, and yet I’ve stumbled onto this mess. What the hell is going on?” asked William, there was a hint of anger in his tone, “As I said, this world is like a prison that stores all evil from destroying your home, a shield made by the gods to prevent anymore evil to enter your home. But every year this shield is getting weaker and weaker and eventually it’ll reach a critical point;” Mrs. Cornelia’s tone changed suddenly, “and if all the Condarynus is awaken, they will bring back the most powerful person ever lived- Fonte Maximus.” “Who’s this Fonte Maximus person, and who are these Condarynus anyway?” asked William, “Evil takes form of demons, and these demons have three classes, or danger level as some may say- the lowest level of demons are the Furtrollia, mostly consist of trouble-making yet harmful creatures. The second level is the most populated one, which is the Bandakoy, they are the intermediate level demons which can harm and even kill people. Then there’s the Condarynus, which has only four of them, they are the second most powerful demons in Fonte Maximus. Scythenesis is one of the four, the weakest to be exact.” Said Mrs. Cornelia, “While the other three Condarynus are banished, Scythenesis is the one who escaped and is attempting to free his siblings, and eventually, free Fonte Maximus from his other-worldly prison.”
“Who’s this Fonte Maximus, then? Why is his name the same with the name of this world?” asked William curiously, “Historical events, hard to explain if you don’t know your purpose being here.” Said Mrs. Cornelia as the conversation ceased, “So….. What exactly do I do here?” William shifted in his bed uncomfortably, “For now, get use to the environment you will soon be in. Trust me, things here will keep amazing you.” Said Mrs. Cornelia as she rose from her seat, “I’ll check you out of the hospital tomorrow, you’ll rest here for the night.” She said as she headed towards the door she came in; she turned around and smiled at William, “If there is any problem, you can always come and fine me, alright?” William nodded numbly and a sudden urge of curiosity hit him again, “Mrs. Cornelia, why does the ceiling looks like a clear night sky, it’s even moving!” “Like I said, things here will keep amazing you.” She replied as she exited the room, leaving William in his thoughts, pondering. He grabbed the mug and took a sip of hot chocolate, and slowly sank back into his bed, admiring the stars in the heavens above.
