chapter 2 Entering Zodiac

I woke up. My creased my eye brows. "This is not my room. Where am I?" I stood up. I seemed to be floating in mid-air. A bunch of coding flew past me. Intrigued I tried to touch it. A flash of light appeared and I saw a land bountiful with fruit and animals. "Woah. What is this?" A woman appeared in front of me. "Hello Lady Lily. I am melody." The woman said with a soft voice. I looked at her bewildered. "You... Know my name?" I asked. Melody gave me a small smile. "Of course. How could one not recognize their own creator. Pleasure to meet you." She said. I could not help but smile because of her bubbly energy. "Then could you tell me what I'm doing here, Melody." I replied with a smile. "You are here because you've become the new system." She said.

I blinked at her. "I'm sorry what? Please repeat. I think I didn't hear correctly." I said. "I said: You're here because you've become the new system." She replied. "But why?! Of all the things I got the most boring role." I replied. "Well... Because someone is going to be transported into the body of crown prince Malachi. And you have to be his system until he either dies or returns home." She said. "Great. So I'm stuck by some guy's side. Great. Great. Just Great." I said sarcastically. "I hope he's at least handsome."

"Well he is someone you know. You used to call him Vinci whenever you texted him." She said. I coked on my imaginary drink. "I'm stuck with who now?" I inquired with big eyes. "Vinci. His real name is also Malachi. He truly is a fine specimen. You'll see him as a full grown up." Melody said to Lily have pitying half amused. "Speaking of being grown up. You're body has grown up in this world too." Melody used her hands to reference to my body then made a mirror appear.

I bewondered myself. "This is me?" I asked. "Yes, my dear. This would be you if you actually took care of yourself." Melody replied. My face were without blemishes. I no longer wore glasses. My vision was perfect. My hair looked silky soft as it fell over my shoulders. I went up to touch it. It felt just as soft. My eyes sparkled as my silky soft baby blue dress. "I'd date me. If I was a boy." I said jokingly. Then a thought came into my mind. "How do you know so much about me?" I asked Melody. "Me? Well I was made from your feelings and memories. I am nothing but a shadow of yours."

"Huh. So I'm basically talking to myself." I said looking back at the mirror. "What a sad life." Melody shook her head. "You didn't have to roast yourself like that. I may be a shadow but I have my own personality. Plus I am not as naïve as you are." She said. I felt offended and gasped. "I am not naïve!" I said. "What ever makes your day." Melody said. "Anyways when you are a system you will not be able to tell Malachi who you really are. And you will not be able to appear in this form. If you want to you must transfer into the body of princess Lilianna. And you have to before they meet."

"And why would I need to do that?" I asked her. In myself I was excited yet scared. "Getting the physical body is the only way you can protect him." Melody said. "Who says I want to protect him." I replied. Melody looked into my eyes. "Your heart." She replied. I stayed quiet. "Plus if he dies, you die." She continued. "And no. You won't return to your world."

"Aww man. Okay fine. I'll do it." I said. "Not like you had a choice in the first place." She said. If looks could kill she'd be 10 feet underground. "Don't look at me like that. I'm getting some ice cream. You coming?" She said back into her bubbly energy. My eyes lit up. "Ice cream! I want chocolate and strawberry.' I said then stopped. "Wait we can eat?" Melody opened up a portal. "In our physical bodies yes."

"Oh my gosh delicious! I want more." I said. "But why are we wearing capes?" "Because I'd be strange if the first princess of the air kingdom appeared here." Melody replied. "Also if you don't transfer into her body before yours truly meets her. You won't be able to have any of this deliciousness again."

I held my sundae close to me. "No. Not food!" Melody shrugged. "Then get the job done, Also do remember whether you are a system or princess consort. You can never tell him that system is Princess consort Lilianna or Lily." She warned. "Then as princess consort I can tell him that I am Lily." I asked. "Well you can't say those precise words but you can let him know by other words like using his nickname. You're smart. You can think of a way." She says. I nodded. "Are there any other rules?" I asked. She shook her head. "No, just that he has to survive and attain the Milana plant with Lilianna." Melody said.

This time I actually chocked on my ice cream. "Attaining the Milana plant is no joke. I might actually fall in love with him in the process. I'll be screwed once I'm back into the real world." I complained. "Look at the bright side, You get to marry your crush and probably actually get screwed." Melody said. I closed my eyes. "Why did you have to say that!" I replied. "Oh yeah. I forgot You know princess Lilianna is a Gemini. She has multiple faces. You need to play the role well." Melody said. "I can't be cold though I'm a soft person." I said. Melody hummed. "That may be true but you're also a very psychotic person." She said. "No, I am not." I denied. "Oh yes you are. You're very psychotic and you know it. Plus in this world you're not Christian, There are no rules holding you back."

"No, I can control myself." I replied. Melody raised her brow. "Can you? No one knows you here. You are basically God in this world. You know about the magic of this world like the back of your hand. Plus he's been on your mind since the day that you met. Will you really not forget who you are while you're here? Melody said with a challenging yet knowing look. "If you can then congrats but you know yourself well.

Then Melody left me to sit alone with my thoughts. "I... Well I have always held back my freak..." I shook my head. "I don't wanna think about that. Let's just enjoy this food!"

Suddenly I woke up in a strange room...
