Isabel followed the mysterious young man, who left the room. She could not

understand what she was saying.

They walked until they reached a totally dilapidated building. Closely detailing, Isabel

she knew it was a hospital. They went through the entrance, which no longer had a door.

The interior was dingy and creepy. This place put Isabel's nerves to the limit. They went through a corridor until they found themselves in the center of a room, in the middle of it was a huge tree, one that Isabel had never seen before in her life. A series of

diagrams, which seemed to change color ran through the entire cortex that passed between the branches; they were very well crafted lines and circles. Its leaves fell big

amount like rain, they were a strange black color, with white lines. Isabel leaned over to examine one of those sheets. Seeing her she was impressed; as the bark of the tree, the white lines that ran along the leaf, formed a diagram that glowed with great intensity. Without a doubt that peculiar tree was something out of this world, something that did not exist.

Isabel walked over to the tree and put her hand on the bark, those flashing colors

constantly changing with the colors of the rainbow; she seemed to respond to touch her hand. That, she left Isabel speechless, it was like being in a dream or out of reality. However, the voice of the mysterious young man brought her back.

- We have to hurry.

Isabel turned and saw the mysterious young man standing behind her staring at her.

Taking one last look at the tree, Isabel followed the mysterious young man to a

office. Pens, papers that appeared to be medical reports, a stethoscope, and gowns.

they were found all over the floor. The mysterious young man knelt next began to pound the ground with his knuckles until a metallic cacophony was heard. He lifted a hatch and went downstairs. Isabel followed him for them, everything was totally dark, fear was beginning to appear, but suddenly at the end an orange light began to shine. The mysterious young man, was waiting next to the the light source was a large crystal embedded in the wall. Isabel, approached

to detail that wonderful object, its intense orange light shining with great intensity.

Isabel, she began to think that she was in some kind of magical land, since she had set foot in the forest and everything seemed out of a fairy tale, and ever since she met the mysterious young man she never ceased to be surprised at so many new and strange things that no one could imagine existed, at least not in real life.

- What is that crystal? - Isabel asked, intrigued.

- They are contact crystals. When you touch them they absorb body heat and radiate light- the mysterious young man approached one of the crystals and he put his hand on it, immediately the crystal began to light up.

- Is incredible! She had never seen anything like this before.

Isabel approached the crystals and began to touch several, as they lit up, fading

the darkness of the tunnel.

The mysterious young man began to walk while Isabel followed him, they both walked in

silence. There were many things Isabel wanted to ask, however, she did not.

She didn't know where to start, the questions were clustering in her head, she couldn't decide. Finally when she decided the first question what was she going to do, they had both arrived at the end of the tunnel going up some stairs.

On leaving, Isabel found herself behind an old abandoned church. Of Soon, the whole scene had changed, as if she was in a different world, despite she had been gazing at the midday sun a few moments ago, now

the sun was slowly setting, turning the sky crimson, bringing the stars with it. Isabel, it had taken her a few minutes to understand how it was that a few minutes the sun was shining brightly and suddenly it was setting, that caused great confusion in her.

- I suppose you can get home from here- said the mysterious young man.

-How is it possible that a few minutes ago, the sun was at the zenith of him, and suddenly it is getting dark? It doesn't make any sense- Isabel seemed confused looking

to the mysterious young man waiting for an explanation.

- I explained it to you; When we were in the mansion, time passes differently in the forest.

- Yes, but ... How is it possible?

The mysterious young man looked at Isabel and after a brief

silence adds:

-Goodbye- said the mysterious young man turning on his steps to leave.

- ¡Wait! - Isabel's voice stopped him. Eh ... I still haven't thanked you for saving me,

and for healing my wound Thank you!

The mysterious young man gave her a smile that caused Isabel to blush.

- Well, then I'll go.

The mysterious young man approached the hatch and, before disappearing, Isabel

he asked one last question.

- ! Wait! ... You haven't told me your name yet.

The mysterious young man stared at Isabel and replied:

- Sora.

"Sora," Isabel said in a whisper, "can I come see you tomorrow?"

- If I told you that it is dangerous and that you should not return, would you still

Will you ignore my warning?

Isabel, she thought carefully, she knew he was right.

- Yes, I would.

Hearing her response, Sora smiled.

- I guess it can't be helped.

After that, Sora disappeared down that tunnel.

Isabel was coming home, thinking about the forest and Sora. She had entered

looking for a melody, and instead she found something more wonderful, the place

he was hiding a great secret and Sora was part of that enigma.

As soon as she returned home, her grandparents were worried, they asked her

where she had been, and what had happened to her, after seeing the blindfold on her hand and her dirty school uniform. Isabel, she came up with the idea to say In reality, however, every time she thought about all the things she had seen and what had happened, she decided it was best to keep it a secret. Instead, she altered the facts a bit. And even what, her grandparents were suspicious of her, they managed to believe the story that she invented for them, although lying to them left a bad taste in their mouths.
