1. While in wonderland ....

In a dark and dusty bed

" Wake up "

"...mhfff " the sound started to the disturb the girl's sleep .

" Wake up !! "

" UHH " Candela instantly got up from the bed surprised.

" Finally girl i was beggining to think you had inhaled to much dust."

- The fist glimpse that i see of the one speaking to me is that of an old face carrying a look of worry amidst some heavy touches of dertemination in his facial wrinkles .

" You better don't continue giving me this headaches , there is still a lot to do and to little time ."

- The woman in front of me was a curious sight , a granny that surely has 60 years or something was grabing my from my shoulders, fist of all , my god she has arms as tick as my legs , and second i feel very sleepy i just want too..

" HEY!! Dont be lazy just yet , do you want to get fired " his tone changed to a slight anger

" Im awake." Even though i wanted to go back to that very comfy bed

" Good now finish cleaning the dust here and don't get distracted." The woman headed for the door of the room that was comically small for her .

In between strides from his long and strong legs i heard mutter:

" The old master room should have been taken care of ..."

- Well back to bed , when i wake up i have to go and see if martin has finished setting up the barbecue in the garden , i would hate to have to do it ....... myself !

" Wait " Were i am ? , who was that woman ? , and why do the last thing i remember about my family is a nightmare !?

[ Congratulations Candella , for your first awakening ] . A floating parchment of paper suddenly apeared blocking my vision .

" Come again , awake-what " everything was speeding up to fast.

----------------------------------------

" Okay " Lets analyse this situation , i have gone from being submerged in a swap of shadows to waking up in here .

The room was composed of a mess of broken toys , dismantled furniture and many spiderwebs , all this trash occupied in radom proportions the big room , doing so in away that they made a corridor in the midle of the room to a dusty bed .

- After that i have been woke up by that muscular granny , she acted like se knew me which is weird , because not only i don't think that we meet , but also what's wrong whit me i don't think that i have narcolepsy or amnesia so why did i wake up here and how is it possible to feel so lazy that you forget everything.

- And lastly this :

[ Congratulations Candella , for your first awakening. ]

Nothing makes sense ! , it's like those non-sensical TV programs of hidden camera , but its obvious that no one is allowed to just drug me in my house scott free , even if my parents give their consent its just not posible .So how did i get here and in different clothes than the ones she had on .

" fuuuu " exhaling his frustration , candela layed back on the bed

" Well at least my family should be alright , if i am here maybe they too are around here "

- Now.... what is this page ? , it seems oddly familiar , iahel usually talked about this thing . Right ! that D&D , Hogwarts , star wars or something he called it Roleplay . What a nerd , always whit these things .

Maybe if i scream some nerd words out the top of a tree he will appear ?. It would be funny .

- Alright so this is a what..... status sheet or something it should be interactive but i might need a pen or ....

Whit a touch of his fingers the ink in the page reorganized itself , forming three pictures : the first was gray instead of black whit the appearance of a campfire , next there is a picture of a open book which seems blank , lastly there was a house as the last picture.

[ Candella ( Explorer Condition ) ]

[ Eye = 2 second stage current use (none) ]

[ Nose = 2 second stage current use (none) ]

- Okay , if it was that easy i would obviusly not be here , let's see , its calling me a explorer. And here there's something about my senses , " Eye " and "Nose " it says, both at second stage , stages of what ? a disease ? .

- No wait " current use " is that ?.... how did iahel called them....ha! and inventory , alright so lets see how that works.

Candela procedeed to look around the room stoping at a loose nail in a little chair ,she ripped it out , once done , nail in hand she tried to insert it in the page .

Which dind't work as the page just got moved away along candela's fist .

" Okay maybe it's like those programs on tv were you have to follow the instructions like bop it "

Mentaly coiling back from thinking about a rusty nail touching his eyeball.

- Let's try a less delicate part of my body to experiment on . Let's go Nose !!

Slowly bringing the blunt tip of the nail to his nostril , candela tried futilely from diferent angles and ways to bring the nail in to the inventory but the only think she ended up acomplishing is to bring herself to snezze from the pain.

" Fuck , achoo !!! it does not work , but what i am doing wrong ? "

- After stabilizing myself , i stopped the inventory idea and selected the book .

- Not very helpfull but at least it tells me what is happening more or less , now...

- I feel .

From the depths of his mind a little tug came to his mind , a felling of readiness , trying to understand what was happening candela concentrated in to reading the words , she felt inspired with an idea in mind , the felling began to swell and expand waiting to jump in to action at any chance given , the seconds passed and candela sweated from the effort of the task , then a missap the exhausting effort product of the hardwork broke the feeling of deja vu , candela tried to regain that inspiration that had just assaulted her , unfortunately there was no fixing it.

Tired and overexterted candela layed back on the matress to take a break .

- Today is not my day , first hell gets loose in home , everyone is running away for their lives , then i appear here alone and this fuckin room and for what i now all my family else is probably in this hell hole.

The tears started falling .

In a very steep mountain

A man dresed in a dark green poncho was walking up the path looking for a good vision position , following the trail he found a good spot above the trunk from a enormous oak .

" Perfect from here I can see up to the next valley , let's see how close we are "

Getting out of his back pack a small spyglass he started to scout the best path for him to pass .When suddenly a page materialazed itself out of nowhere .

"Hmmm"

- I hope mutual affiliation means something more close than you guys are both spanish.

[ Yes , selected ]

[ Merging of narrative in progress ]

A ray of light suddenly hit one of the eyes of the traveler , reacting whit dissatisfaction he moved himself away from the shinning to recuperate his vision and look through de spyglass to the cause of the faraway light , using the maximum output that the small tool gave he started to see the shape of a very dark smudge in the horizon . Till a light suddenly blinded him again .

" Dammit not the eye " Putting up his hand to take care of his now irritated eye .

" Well at least they are clear to were do i have to go "

- It should take me three days to reach there . One if have to sprint for it , throwing caution out the window.

" No better time to start than now.......... stop talking to your self or you are gonna go crazy , gosh i hope that i can gain a little more ground before nightfall "

The traveler continued at a very slow but practiced stride down the mountain .
