The Alter World Odyssey

The Shadow

"We cannot change anything unless we accept it" --

Geo jumped at what he saw, while Shia just stared at him.

"Relax, relax master I am not your enemy, in fact I helped you" Shai said. "Kekk-ke-ke-kek"

Geo's face was surprised. He still can't explain what he feels right now. His grandfather just died, he doesn't know the reason, Shia showed up, and he's not in his right mind right now. He calmed himself down first so that he would have the strength to face Shia.

"My master, are you okay? Shia asked.

Geo seems to be doing okay and is back to his old self.

"Wait, what master? Besides, what did you help me with? Who are you really? Where did you come from? What is your purpose here?" Geo asked.

Geo asked too many questions, but right now he wanted to be straight, what was really going on.

Shia Dowe, the shadow introduces itself and tells the story of what is totally the cause of this.

"I, Shia Dowe, Your parents gave me this name. I was once served your parents for a long time and this is not really my true form, it's just what I used to talk to you properly. You may not believe it, but this is the truth. The key in your necklace is the proof that you are not from here. I meant to leave you by the river and I also meant that Henry would be the one to pick you up".

Shia didn't know how to take care of a child so he had Henry take care of him, while he looked after Geo from then until now.

The other world had a human-demon war and Geo's parents were one of the front liners and key keepers. so his parents trusted their most loyal servant Shia and ran away with the key and the relic so that it would not fall into the hands of the Demon Lord. It is a forbidden magic that opens the portal to the other world, so Geo's mother sacrifices herself to save their son and the key. and this is where Geo lived on earth while Shia watched over him from afar.

The first time Shia appeared to Geo when he was 16 years old and was ready to join him in the other world. In the dream, he appeared to introduce himself, but it was different from Geo. He felt fear then.

"I'm sorry master, I just don't know how to introduce myself the normal way" *vowing his head* "I'm very sorry my master, because I couldn't even help Henry. I cannot use my power in this world. that's why I only put the mirror in the kitchen, that's the only thing I can help with"

Shia also explained that Geo is one of the 7 key keepers who will defeat the Demon Lord. But Geo didn't believe it because maybe Shia just put a light on his key then Shia showed the relic that only Geo's key can open it and they can go back to the other world and find the other key keepers. Geo still didn't believe, but he wanted to know the answers more and here he tried to insert the key into the relic given by Shia when it suddenly lit up and the key hole opened. Geo pulled back his hand and looked at Shia.

"Is this really true?" Geo asked.

"Yes my master, that is the only way for us to return to your birthplace, to our world" Shia replied.

Shia also said that the Basilisk was ordered and Geo was its main target, maybe someone had already used a forbidden spell and that is what opened the portal. It is not easy to open it, it requires vast mana and sacrifice and Shia realizes that a powerful being ordered it.

"They have taken action. we have to go now and find the rest" ~~
