Magical city witcher's residence

"Why shouldn't we look back?"

Alastor smiled at her question and whispered in her ear,"because the soul's of dead beings are wandering in this river. If you look back, you'll witness scary skeletons floating in the air and they'll drag you inside with them, eating your every flesh!"

"Woah, momma I am scared." She hugs him tightly, burying her face in his cloak.

Alastor laughed and his campaigns laughed too... But there was someone who was sitting silently, and glaring at Alexa.

She was feeling strange inside her dead cold heart , the feeling of insecurity. From the time Alexa appeared in front of her , Diana felt like something precious to her was snatched away.

'Why am I feeling so irritated by her presence? It's not like Alastor will fall in love with a werewolf! Then why is this annoying feeling hindering me inside?' Diana clenched her fist and in anger she let her right hand float in water.

"General, what are you doing?" One of the men immediately asked.

"Nothing just feels like smashing something!" She smirked and pulled out a human skull. She crushed it in her palms and looked at Alexa.

'She is cool, I want to become like her!' Alexa murmured under her breath.

Finally after some time, the boat reached the bank of the river. All of them stepped outside the boat .

"Let's go, " Alastor held Alexa's hand , but she was looking back at the dead skeleton man who just now rowed the boat.

"Oh, I've said not to look back. They are not good souls!" Alexa listens to his advice and follows him. They walked through the forest, where there were no greens. Only dead and scary trees, which seemed to be carnivorous in nature.

Alexa wondered why her master was not using his flying ability...why they were struggling walking through such a scary place. She kept quiet and followed them, slowly the darkness was fading and a gorgeous golden gate came in view.

"Woah!" Alexa saw a huge cave which had carved figures of two angels at the entrance. They were of gold and were carved gorgeously.

"So are you ready? We are teleporting to cross this gate otherwise it will take another day if we keep walking through."

"I'm fine," Alexa replied to Alastor who brightened up.

"Well then!" He waves his right hand in the air, a magical transparent mechanical clock-like figure appears, which has strange words written that only wizards can understand!

Alastor holds Alexa by her waist and disappears inside the magical circle. Rest of his campaigns did the same.

And soon after a blink of a second they were in a completely different world. Alexa opened her eyes and looked around, all green and fresh. There were white horses gazing at the distant field and beautiful birds sitting on trees.

Alastor whistled in the air and a few horses ran towards them.

"They're having wings? Can they fly?" Alexa asked with her curious face, she has never seen such magical animals.

"Do you want to try them?"

"Yes!" Alastor pulled one of the horses and hops on it, giving his hand to help Alexa getting on it.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes." He patted on the horse's back and it flapped its wings wide. After a few clopping, it flew in the sky with its wings wide open..

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Alexa looked around, everything was so beautiful. She felt like she was in heaven.

"What is your place like?" She asked out of curiosity.

"It's not a place but a kingdom and I'm the next heir of the emperor there!"

"Oh! I'm sorry for the rudeness master." Her face sulked in depression.

"Chill out, it's not me. The people staying in my kingdom will say these types of things to you , so don't mess with them. Just come to me and I'll get revenge for you," he laughed.

"Thanks for caring about me master!"

"Ah about my kingdom... It's a place which was created by god's himself . " Falling Mountain Sect "_is my kingdom's name. Look ahead!"

Alexa lifted her face up and an unbelievable sight came into her view. She was speechless... she couldn't find a suitable word to describe the marvellous view she was just witnessing.

* * * * *

The Falling Mountain, a place of terror and peace. It is hidden away in the magical worlds. Some say it is only a fairytale, some say it is a myth but only a few know of its existence. Falling Mountain is a wonderland and it is in fact the realm which divides the magical world from the heavens. It is a wondrous city of stone and modalvite, it was once the abode of the lesser gods. The modalvite illuminates the plains, giving the mountain a greenish shine.

Mortals can never step into the Falling Mountains not only because of its location, but due to the fact that this mountain is filled with Zeon, a pristine gas which when inhaled by mortals, crystalizes the body until it turns to glass which then becomes a part of this wondrous mountain.

Deep within the Falling Mountains, resides a tiny city by the name of witchers residence. The gods regard this city as the gateway to Oblivion. It is built in the middle of the Falling Mountains and at first sight looks like a little floating city, cloaked in the clouds. The Moldavite city glows green in the light, a small city held by nothing but an upside conical rocky pillar, disconnected from the rest of the mountain.

Though it might be the most beautiful and mysterious thing you might ever come across, it is also the most dangerous place where elves and mages live.

Hidden away by the mountains, it is made inaccessible due to the lack of paths around it. Tiny crystalline bridges connect the forsaken city to the rest of the mountain. This tiny bridge is guarded by the Chimera, a vicious beast.

You might wonder why such a forsaken and inhabited city is highly protected but the answer is not so far fetched.

* * * * *

"You can see that floating City in the middle of mountains?" Alastor pointed towards the city witchers residence.

"Yes." Alexa exclaimed.

"That's where we're going. We live in that City it's called witcher's residence, and you can see Moldavite City," he pointed towards the other side of the greenish huge floating mountain which had a small castle.

"Who lives there?"

"Elves, that is the kingdom of elves and mages. Don't worry we are on good terms with them." Alastor smiled and they were getting close to the city, but before that they will have to cross the bridge which connects the city.

"Alexa stay still, I'm giving you some of my cultivation power so that you'll not get affected by the pristine gas!" He placed his two fingers on her back and chanted some spells. A magical energy was given to Alexa due to which she felt more energetic.

"Master, why did you give your cultivation energy to me?" She was confused.

"Dummy, I did that to save your life. This place is forbidden for mortals, the mountains have zeon, a pristine gas which, inhaled by mortals, crystallises the body until it turns into glass. Just take this as protection system of city!" He explained .

Alexa nodded, she was freaking out in terror. Cursing herself for coming here.

All of the horses landed safely on the bridge and closed their wings. They all cloppled towards the entrance of the city, crossing the bridge.

"Welcome back my lord!" Chimera bowed in front of Alastor.

"Thank you , Chimera. Open the city gate!" Alastor ordered.

Alexa looks at Chimera who was so huge and a vicious beast. 'My god, so tight security!'

The huge golden gate swung open and the soldiers of the main city walked out to welcome their lord.

Alastor smiled at them and cloppled inside. Alexa looks around, the city has such a lively market where all types of fancy dresses, jewelleries and furniture are on sale.

Alastor was observing her reactions, he had first seen someone so excited by seeing all this.

Soon they arrived at the castle's entrance, a group of soldiers who were in their silver armour... Alexa tried hard to look at the faces of soldiers but unfortunately she couldn't because they were even covering their faces with silver armour caps.

The gates were opened, they all entered inside. Alastor jumps off the horse and by his both hands he pulls Alexa down. His hands were on her waist and this gesture doesn't seem right. Awkward silence!

"Ahem! Diana showed her the room where she will be staying!" After saying that ,he walks inside the main castle with his knights.

"Please follow me!" As usual Diana used her cold voice. Alexa follows behind her to the other castle. Which was quite far from Alastor's main castle.

"What's this place called?"

"Ah.. this girl can't keep quiet. All she has to do is ask questions." Diana curses in frustration and then replies ," This place is called a secondary castle where guests and non royal people are kept because they can't stay in the main castle."

Alexa was now almost at the verge of crying. So many weird things were happening with her today, even the strongest woman in the world will get emotional damage. Firstly she has just opened her eyes from a long coma ,then she discovers she was left with no family and now this strange world.

"This is your room!" Alexa was jolted out of her thoughts. She looks inside the room and thanks Diana.

But Diana walks away without even listening to her .

'Ah let her be rude... I'm so tired,I want to sleep.' Alexa walks inside the room which was to her surprise a very luxurious room. The decoration of the room was pleasing to one's eyes.

It has a king sized bed which had gold designs carved on them, the silk mattress on them were gleaming brightly. Furniture was designed in an elite royal style, paintings were hung up on the wall...

There was a balcony because that room was on the second floor of the castle. Alexa walked on the balcony and saw the grand view of the city.

"So rich and beautiful in nature!"

"Hello, are you my roommate?" A sweet voice asked her from behind.
