she travelled everywhere

My vision was blurred as she was unconscious, lying on the floor. I was waiting for her to wake up but I am always shy she has to summon me. So, I couldn't send signals to her mind to wake her up. I was also waiting for someone else to wake her up. I knew that somebody would do so and my hopes rose as I saw a tall boy, taller than an ordinary boy running towards Valerie's unconscious body. ''Valerie!!!! C'mon, wake up!!'' he shook her hard. And she finally woke, I heard him well after all. So did the rest of the parts in her brain. She suddenly opened her eyes, I could see everything now. I looked over the atmosphere. It was deserted except for Valerie and the boy. And it was a mess. The high arched walls guarding this place were half broken. The gigantic arrows which were stuck to the walls to attack were fallen to the ground. I saw one of them dangling in the boy's leg. He was bleeding rapidly. His dark red blood which was nearly black fell to the ground. The ceiling was falling entirely, that's when I understood that the room was not deserted. The ceiling had fallen upon hundreds of beings' animals or humans whatever, who were fighting. That's when I saw arms, legs, rib cages and heads on the ground. I was not shocked of course. I remembered everything. But, Valerie did not know as her brain was washed, it had forgotten. And I had to help her recall everything which took place in the past.

Valerie screeched after she saw the scene before her. She sat upright and clapped her hands to her mouth out of shock. All the parts of her brain kept receiving signals. And she was acting according to them. I knew what she was thinking at the moment. ''Where am I?'' ''I don't know'' ''This…'' ''Who am I?'' ''Thank God, Valerie'' the boy spoke, panting, a sense of relief in his voice. ''You've been unconscious for nearly one hour and you won't believe what I heard!!!'' he said, clearly excited about what he had heard.

I didn't know about that. But I knew that Valerie should learn about it. But not now. She had to recall everything from the beginning. And I had to guide her to do it, so, I will send her ideas to do so. And she had to remember what I sent her as there's a wide possibility of my sending getting slipped Yet, it was important.

So, I sent the message about her. ''I'm Valerie'' she finally began to think as she received my message. ''Valerie Audre, And I'm a homeless fourteen-year-old girl who now has a job at the house of the current British Prime Minister, Adonis Poe.'' The thought of the Prime Minister concerned her a lot as she just remembered that she had left work at his house. She doesn't remember anything about occurrences which took place after she left work. Before she utters something in front of the boy, I gave her the idea about why she had started work in the first place. ''Oh…I wanted to serve the people in need for the sake of greatness in me. I saw an AD on TV where a man becomes great by helping people. And at that moment, I was homeless, I was in need. I was the one who required help''. Emotion began to build up inside her. She felt the desire within her to be great.

The misery she was in at the moment. ''So, I handed the money people threw at me to a bunch of other homeless people. But that did no good to me, there was no money with me now to at least buy me three sandwiches for the three meals of the day.'' She glanced at her thin, lanky body which I saw very clearly. It wasn't as slim as the time she's recalling now. Yet, a very small amount of muscles could be seen externally. ''Wait, what?'' she thought. ''I'm not in my uniform'' Instead, she was wearing a smooth blue dress which was covered in blood droplets and dust. And she began to touch her face ''My face, it's bleeding'' she thought. And her brain felt the bleeding of cuts on her face. The texture of bruises on her skin and I could understand that she felt the pain of them. ''Aww,'' she exclaimed as she touched a wide wound in her arm. ''This is impossible'' she thought ''I was working at Mr Poe's office and suddenly I ended up in here?''

Then, she thought about what I wanted her to think. ''I…don't remember what happened between them? Do I? But how? And why would you end up in such a strange, big place which looks like a castle where giants live? I..mean, how can I ever think like that? Giants don't exist nor do fantasy castles. And this boy. He's too tall. Perhaps, he's an extra tall boy or waits…this is a dream. No.no, I slept in Mr Poe's office. What would he think of me? Yes, I know that he doesn't like me. Who would? But at least he hired me. When I became famous no one wanted me to have an occupation. Why? Why was that? Oh…Because girls and boys of my age don't work. They go to school. Then, why didn't I go to school? Because I'm homeless? But then, why did I become homeless in the first place?''

Well, Valerie's brain was confused as she had just started to recall everything. I wanted her to know everything neatly and orderly by living in them. And, I wanted her to understand the fact that she doesn't remember what happened between her working in Mr Poe's office and her ending up here. But she's thinking that this place and everything related to it is a dream. I don't mind that she will realise that she is not living a dream. So, I immediately gave her the idea about the rest of her backstory.

''Ohh…So, I was homeless because I escaped from my heartless Stepmother, Mrs Malvolia. And I became famous because I went in front of a camera which belonged to a news channel. After I realized that giving people in condition to my food and money is pointless and that it is worsening my condition. Then, adults saw it, felt sorry for me, and decided to adopt me, educate me, put me in an orphanage, arrest my stepmother, etc. That was the most embarrassing thing that happened to me. And I regret it. However, I like that my stepmother was found guilty for her brutal behaviour towards me. And the cops were even searching for her. I regret making myself vulnerable. But, at least, it was of use to the person whom I despise the most. Oh…wait, no, something happened between me becoming famous and me giving my possessions to poor ones. I realized my mistake and to help them, I decided to earn money so that I can buy goods from them. So, I was in search of an occupation so I went to ask for work in a coffee shop. Understand the fact that they won't accept me because I was thirteen at that time. I lied to them saying that I was twenty-four, well, unfortunately, for me, they weren't fools. I looked much younger than that and they thought that I was lying so they threw me out. Then, after seeing Robin Hood (On the TV) who was a hero but stole money and gave them not to himself but people to in need. I decided to do it myself. From nearby shops, I stole food instead of money. But, like Robin Hood, I became famous for my work and shops began to take precautions against me. Some even summoned the Police. I had no desire to be in Jail or to be a famous thief so I became fed up with it and quit it.

That's when I shared my story publicly with the world. Thought that some of them who would watch me or listen to me would give me a Job. But they told me that I had to be at least seventeen to work. They told me that I needed preparation. Unless I want to work in a low profile place such as a shop. And, I was prepared. I desired wealth, not knowledge. What if I forgot them? What do I learn at school? So, I decided to run away from the spotlight (which was a hard job) and somehow came across the current Prime Minister who was sensible enough to hire me as a servant who cleans everything in his grand mansion. And he promised to pay me 76 sterling pounds monthly. That job would have been very low profile for anyone. But not for me, as he has been my idol ever since I was four years old. I used to steal newspapers from my wicked Stepmother just to learn more about him. He was pleasing to me, his physical appearance and his personality gave me positive emotions. Working for him was a dream come true. I don't mind working for him forever as a servant. He might dislike me or not care for me a lot but yet for me it was fine.

And, Valerie was lost in her thoughts about the person whom she desires. But, the boy wasn't patient enough for her to recall everything and he spoke ''Valerie? What's wrong with you? Why aren't you excited about what I have to say? It's a valuable piece of information for us.'' I did have some ability to control Valerie but the true right to control goes to her and she can control me. So, I cannot stop her from speaking but I can send her the idea which is important for her to receive now. Then, she would take action. Now as she properly recalled everything regarding her past.

''How about going to the place I was in, now? It is the place for Me.'' I sent her the idea and it was in her voice she thought about it. Decided to leave this place, Valerie Audre was not the most thoughtful girl around. Well, is she aware of the path to the Prime Minister's residence?

When her the idea, she thought that she can go there by asking people whom she meets on her way. But I had a much better idea. I couldn't send all of it to her but I sent it anyway. ''So, I can ask this unknown boy? Fine then, I'll see…''

''Uhm..'' Valerie uttered nervously ''Well, do you know where the Prime Minister's house is? The English one from England.'' ''You mean?'' asked the boy ''Adonis Poe?'' ''Yes, '' Valerie responded ''him'' ''Yeah. I also don't know where he strolled off to'' said the boy and Valerie felt confused but said ''As I know, to the…'' but she had no idea, she guessed that perhaps the Parliament but tell him the truth anyway but before she could speak the boy spoke ''I know that you don't know where he strolled off to. I mean, nobody does.'' ''What?'' interrupted Valerie ''Yes, people know'' I didn't want to create confusion in the boy but I was unable to stop Valerie. ''His Assistants so does his drivers and his bodyguards.'' Thankfully, the boy gave her a puzzled look which I didn't want. Then his puzzled expression turned to I know the answer sort of one. ''Hmm…you mean that he went off to where he spent most of his time in the past? The ordinary world?'' Valerie would find this confusing and I desired no more confusion or misunderstandings between them so I sent her a good thought. ''This is a dream and I might be in a magic world in this and asking him is useless.'' Even though that's not the truth. It was as effective as I knew. ''Yes. Where is it? How can I go there?'' ''Hmm,'' the boy responded.

''You have to jump into that well, you know. I think that it was there at your house. It's located in… outside, for that you have to go to that side'' and he pointed at an opening which was located in Valerie's left direction. ''There was a door in there but it was blasted off and landed on top of that Satyr'' he pointed at a Goat's leg and a horn which was by a door composed of iron nails and pure diamonds which were still glistening encrusted upon it.

Now, Valerie was unaware of who a Satyr is so she was thinking that it was just a Goat whom the boy named a Satyr.

''You have to cross that opening'' continued the boy ''And you'll find yourself in a similar hall then once you exit it you'll find a fork. Turn right and you'll see a lake, dive into it and at the bottom, you'll find multiple pipes, one of them leads to a well while the others lead to some pipes which belong to ordinary houses. If you want to go to your house then choose the well but if you want to go to Poe's house it would be better to choose a random pipe. But be careful because there's poison in them. I think that they won't spread because of my blood'' and tore half of the shirt he was wearing and rubbed the cloth against his blood then he extended his arm towards Valerie, indicating for her to take it.

''My blood would work because it's already poisoned.'' said the boy with a sad smile. It was obvious to Valerie that he was dying. ''So'' she spoke quietly ''You are dying?'' ''I guess?'' responded the boy ''But, I won't die until this ends'' he looked around the hall ''I will never die peacefully until I defeat that rascal!!'' he half-shouted. Valerie felt no remorse for him. She thought that she was just dreaming and whether this boy dies or is alive it doesn't matter to her. ''Take it'' he grunted

Valerie felt disgusted to take it as his blood was no ordinary blood, she wondered whether he was half-giant. But she had no desire to die in her dream so she took it anyway. And stood on her feet but then she cried in pain and fell back down.

I could also feel the pain a bit. One of her joints was injured. And she had trouble getting up. ''Oh…'' the boy began ''You need some help?'' Valerie nodded and he placed his hand on her waist and supported her in standing up. But Valerie was still weak to her knees. ''Right, you are set to go. You can help yourself using this'' said the boy and he strolled off to the other side of the room they were in and handed her a tall iron nail which was twelve inches taller than Valerie. ''You can'' explained the boy ''Use this for support'' Valerie didn't even care to nod this time and she took the iron nail from him, gripped it firmly using her right arm and set it in her left direction.

Valerie was halfway through the hall they were present in when the boy yelled ''I know that you think this is a dream but it's not'' Valerie quickly rotated her head and glanced at the boy standing weakly behind. His face was shining with sweat and dust. The boy's words were good according to me but it is unimportant, she just has to live through her past. These particular words would make anyone think about whether this is truly a dream or not. So did Valerie. She didn't have anything to say verbally but thought inside her head. ''Whatever it is. I just want to go to Mr Poe's place''

And looked back at her coming destination and walked towards it.

Valerie expected to see a deserted hall with a bunch of dead creatures this time but she was completely shocked as nothing came up to her expectations. This hall as she saw was crowded with humans but half-humans and half- animals.

Valerie was shocked this sight made her forget the boy's words. ''This is a dream. These types of creatures only appear in fictional books, TV Shows and films. They don't exist.'' And they were not just standing in the hall. They were fighting, they were battling. They were giants, even more, taller than the boy walking and stepping on humans and little-sized creatures. Some of them had weapons, deadly-looking weapons composed of iron, bronze, lava, and some other materials which Valerie was unaware of. She saw half human half bulls damaging the ceiling which bore a long gold chandelier that looked pleasing to Valerie's eyes. She then got a flashback of a similar chandelier made of black brass which was extended up to six CM hung in Mr Poe's house. However, the chandelier hanging here fell off the ceiling and missed a girl with blonde hair but a serpent's tail by inches and fell upon the half-human half-bull itself.

I did not desire Valerie to get injured because of the ongoing battle so I sent her the idea to be cautious and even instructed her to look down. That's when she noticed that of the ongoing battle the floor of the hall was in ruins and some of the humans were trying not to fall into the water below. I understood that the water below was indeed the lake that the boy instructed Valerie to jump into. And I had instructed her to jump straight. She thought that it was a better idea.

As she put her iron nail into the water but as she did it she saw that the sky above was exposed to them and that they were black, white, greenish, yellow, orange, red, etc. coloured birds soaring in the sky. She did not know who they were, so neither did her knowledge and her experiences. Then, Valerie witnessed the sight of one of them emitting fire out of their nostrils. It soared up to the hall and blasted another part of the ceiling. The part of the ceiling which was blasted off fell upon a portly shirtless man who roared and it engulfed him. This came to Valerie's attention as the man's roar was the only sound in the room. With all the violence happening, there was not a single sound coming from it. It was a quiet battle.

Then, I had no motivation to let Valerie focus on the battle which grabbed most of her attention. So, I pushed the thought to her mind that she has to jump into the lake to end up in Mr Poe's manor. So, she was reminded of the reason why she came to this hall in the first place. She then put the rest of her iron nail into the water, then she placed her leg in there and Valerie felt the burn in her wounds as the water touched them. And her dry skin felt wet at the same time. She somehow dipped her entire body into the water. But was too nervous to enter her head into it as she has no experience diving in the water. Then suddenly another blast of fire from one of the flying birds above came zooming towards Valerie's head. Then a woman nearby yelled ''Dragons!!!!'' Then Valerie put her head inside the water, ducking the fire by inches, it soared towards it and vaporized because of the power of the water.

I felt dizzy with the water fogging my vision but I had to guide Valerie so I instructed her to swim further. She swam uncomfortably because she had no education about swimming. She swam thinking about the pipes, then she came across a particularly dry piece of substance that reminded her of Onion skin though its odour wasn't of an Onion. ''What is this?'' she thought while touching the piece carefully. She was uneducated about this, and so was I. But I could guess with an idea and I never run out of ideas. So, I sent her one of them. ''Hmm…this could be something which I should ignore. I need to get to Mr Poe's habitant''

And she swam, neglecting the substance there. As she swam a bit further, she finally came across pipes of various sizes. She couldn't make out the colours of them as everything was blurred because of the water

Without thinking about that further, she went to choose which pipes have poison in them. Which I thought was foolish because even the pipe to the well can have poison. But it might be effective too and I let my shyness take over.

Valerie swam towards a pipe while holding her iron nail and she put her iron nail first inside the pipe and then attempted to squeeze her body inside it. Gladly, it was wide enough to bear her body so she managed to get in. Then, as she squeezed into the pipe she took the boy's cloth that she bore in her left hand and wiped the walls of the pipe with it. To extract any position. And she, with extreme difficulty, managed to climb the pipe while maintaining her balance and holding the iron nail ahead of her while also wiping the walls with her cloth. It was uncomfortable for Valerie because even the iron nail was touching her head and it was bumping into it. She continued to do this until she found another substance that was the same as the previous one. Valerie couldn't touch it because both of her hands were busy. So she decided to neglect it once again. As she moved a bit further she finally found herself at the bottom of a house. She wished that it was Mr Poe's house. Valerie put the iron nail first onto the upcoming floor and climbed onto the floor while carrying the cloth the boy gave her.
