1 The train ticket

I was walking down the busy streets of london searching for the train station. It is Saturday, in two days I will continue my journey across the world so I decided to pay my aunt a visit. She lives in a small village near london and the only way to get there is by the train. After a fifteen minute walk I managed to find the train station and buy a ticket, nothing eventful happaned in the thirty minutes I was waiting for the train to arrive. Once the train arrived I hoped in and sat near a window constantly stealing glances at a man sitting at the other side near the other window. He had silky white hair, and very pale skin almost like he has not seen the sun in years, his posture was great and everything he did be it just a mere glance outside was done with such pride. He was like a dream, but... I couldn't help the feeling that I know him from somewhere ... his pale golden pocket watch seems so familiar. He turned his head to the side looking at me I instantly looked away. "Might I help you with something m'lady?" `m'lady?` I haven't heard someone call me that ... ever... "I- no, no I am sorry for staring. I just ... have we ever met before?" `it seems like a weird thing to ask.. but here I am asking it.` He smiled. How is even his smile this perfect- he chuckled and looked back at me. "No, I believe we haven't met before." he continued looking straight ahead of him... now I just felt dumb for asking, why would someone like me know someone like him? He is clearly some model. The train stopped and this mysterious man walked out.. 'Inividian station'... never heard of this part of England yet I somehow felt like I heard `Inividia` before. Probably my imagination. I shook my head and waited for another thirty minutes before we arrived at my aunt's village, slowly I stepped out and made my way towards where my aunt lived, very few people passed me by smiling and waving at me. I missed this place... Soon enough I was at my aunt's house, after knocking three times the doore opened and my aunt pulled me into a bear hug, "Alright- nan you are going to kill me!" I forgot how strong this woman was- "Oh dear! I haven't seen you in ages!" she finally pulled away and we waked into the house. "Please take a seat Evelyn! Would you like some tea?" I sat down and nodded, something.. is itching in my pocket. I reached out and there was a golden pocket watch.. Isn't this.. ? I looked closely at the pocket watch, there is no doubt this belongs to that man, I have to give it back to him. I placed the pocket watch on the table as my aunt sat in front of me. "here you go darling!" she placed the teapot in fron of me, "you look troubled, what is it?" I took a deep breath and slightly pushed the clock so that it wad in front of her. "Hm.. where did you get this?" she was examining the rose which was engraved into the back of the pocket watch. "It belongs to this man I met on the train, I don't know how it got here.." "do you remember at which station he stopped?" "I believe it was the `Invidian station`?" she nodded, "the `Inividian station` ..."

"Do you know that place?" I asked a bit confused, "I do. I'm surprised he opened it again." `he` `opened` what's going on..? "I was thinking on giving him his pocket watch back, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to find him"

"Oh you will be able to find him" why does she sound so confident-? "you seem like you know him.." I took a sip from my teapot, "Well, let's just say I am familiar with a few stories, nothing more." `stories?` just how much does this woman know. "You should bring him his pocket watch back as soon as possible, best you go now." she started pulling me up and giving me my stuff back, "Hold on- but we didn't finish our tea! I haven't seen you in a long time!"

"Evelyn our teatime can wait! I don't know when the station will open again!" she placed the watch in my hand and closed the door. Great. Now I am even more confused besr I return this to it's rightful owner... I don't want to get in trouble. I was at the station in no time, after purchasing the ticket I sat down. This all is just too much... who is that guy... After a surprisingly short time the train arrived. I sat at the same spot, there was.. no one in the train besides me. Well this is totally normal. After a thirty minute ride we arrived at the `Inividian station` I still can't help but feel like I know this name. I walked out and there was... no one.. not a single soul, this station was abandoned. Maybe this is the wrong place.. I looked up and there it was. The sign. It said `Welcome to Inividia` welp, this is it I guess.. maybe people here don't usually travel by train? That is ridiculous even if the people didn't use the train as much at least the .. shed?.. would look less dead and rotten. With a sigh I waked down the only path I could find in hopes that there will be a town or something aside from these cold woods, as someone who was born and raised in England I never heard of a place called Inividia.. yet it still sounds familiar.

After walking down the path I kinda felt hopeless.. I mean there was nothing and no one, but then ... Is that a gate? I walked towards it, it (just like everything else) looked

... abandoned- but I couldn't help but push it open.

As the gate opened it revealed a beautiful town, there was a fountain in the middle, lots of abandoned houses surrounded the area inside these huge stone walls and.. at last my eyes stopped at the sight of an enormous castle. Now THIS is new- It looked as abandoned as everything else, yet it still looked.. alive? I don't know how to phrase it.. but it is a magical feeling. I started walking up the stairs towards the huge front door of this beautiful catsle, I slightly pushed it and it immediately opened. I will not question that, I mean- I probably should just.. you know.. go back to the station and never look back because this place and everything that happened before seems VERY shady but if I'm already here I might as well explore.. right? Before I knew it I was in the middle of a huge ballroom, it is simply breathtaking. While I was preoccupied with adoring this whole thing there was something behind me..
