Finally, here I was with two furry creatures. After the creature that attacked me bowed down, it offered me a ride back to where the bushes were. The place where we met in the first place.We sat on the grass surrounded by bushes. After I helped her, they introduced her name to me. The shining ball with small hands and feet was named Ruru while the attacking monster was named Aeru. From what I can see, Aeru and Ruru are friends.

"What exactly did I do wrong? Why did you attack me?" I asked irritably.

Aeru sat across from me while Ruru sat on top of Aeru's head. This may sound crazy but I can see that Aeru is sorry for what she did to me. Finally, Aeru just kept quiet while looking down.

"You don't consider me food, do you? You won't attack me again, right?" I asked anxiously.

"No! I'll deliver you safely as a token of my gratitude," Aeru said while bowing.

I looked at Aeru strangely. Why does Aeru like to bow so much? What's wrong with him?

"Actually, I was unconscious earlier! I was under the influence of evil," Aeru said regretfully.I furrowed my brow as soon as I heard Aeru's words. Evil influence? Is she being controlled by someone? Then who was controlling him to attack me?

"That's right, Ruru! Lately, here, systems have been disrupted. Rumor has it that there will be a war. Many of Qahara's residents are losing their consciousness and attacking each other. Hence, the sharkeyance to your world"

I don't understand. Qahara dwellers? "Qahara?"

Ruru hovered around me and then sat right on my lap. His round eyes watched me until his small hand twitched up and down.

"Qahara is the name of this world. From the Histoir forest to the Polar forest" Ruru explained.

I nodded in understanding even though I was not sure where the Histoir forest and the Polar forest were. Then, I looked back at Aeru.

"What about Sharkeyance? Who are they?"

Aeru snorted. Her long feathers danced in the wind. I just silently hoped they would answer my question without me forcing them to.

"They are nobles, responsible for the balance of this world. About a few years ago, Agrasuuman spread evil. The plants began to become poisonous, and little by little we began to lose some of our abilities"

I sighed. So Ursa Major wasn't lying. Sharkeyance? So, Ursa Mayor is a noble? How annoying! Now, I'm surrounded by furry creatures with strange plants that I don't know if they're poisonous or not. But, what did she say? Agrasuuman?

"What's an agraasuman?"

"He's a creature from the polar forest. The forbidden forest in the south of the planet. It should be trapped in the Paravel Cube. Someone intends to release it."

I furrowed my brow again. Well, let's just say I feel like the biggest fool in the world. How could I not? Every time they speak, I'll find a term that I don't understand. But, I have to figure out whatever it is if I want to get out of this world.

"Paravel cube?" I asked.

"It's a kind of detention center that removes the prisoners' abilities" Aeru patiently answered all my questions.

I just kept quiet. If they were telling the truth, why did Ursa Major choose me? Why didn't she choose Reeny the owner? Then, the blue flash in her eyes, what is she doing? What exactly did I see?

I wanted to ask them more. But, I'm quite tired of what I went through today. After all, I've almost lost my life several times today. My life changed completely in the space of a few hours. Great!

"Now, what are you going to do, Ruru?" Ruru asked.

"I don't know, what can I do?" I said resignedly.

I don't know what to do. I don't know anything about this world. At the very least, I should know a little about this world if I want to survive.

"You wouldn't have come here alone, would you?" said Aeru.

"Of course not. I've been kidnapped" I replied quietly but clearly. "How do I get out of here?"

"Only the Sharkeyance can, Ruru!"

I sighed as soon as I heard that. That was not the answer I wanted at all.

I looked back up at the blue sky. The purple clouds and their golden powder were still floating there. Then, why did Ursa Major choose me? Why am I trapped in this world? Doesn't everything seem so strange? What is my relationship with Ursa Major?

"ruru, what's your name?" Ruru asked.

"My name is Key" I replied.

Ruru floated off my lap and flew around Aeru. Aeru's head followed wherever Ruru flew and soon, Ruru stopped right in front of Aeru's face.

"I think I've found her, Aeru!" Ruru said in a sweet voice.

Aeru turned to look at me intensely and then looked back at Ruru who was floating in front of her. "Are you sure?" Aeru asked Ruru. "You know the consequences, right?"

"What?" I asked confused.

Ruru floated right in front of my face. His big eyes stared at me intensely. Just like before, Ruru exhaled again in front of me and blue dust danced around me. Surprisingly, the blue powder did not disappear like before. It hovered between me and Ruru and circled us quickly.

As the blue powder circled us faster and faster, the environment around us slowly faded away. I stared at my surroundings in confusion. Aeru also disappeared from my sight then everything turned white. Ruru closed his large eyes and his fur began to change color. Red, white, yellow, purple. Her fur kept changing color. Just as it turned blue, it opened its eyes and looked back at me.

"dilagra de unite" said Ruru. Wait a minute, was he casting a spell? Is Ruru a wizard?

His fur, which was originally dark blue, turned lighter again. Along with the color change, I felt my body being tied up. What's happening?
