Luna-Tic

I .. I can't ... is this really a car? This is the only thing I could say. Nothing else came from my mouth. What lay ahead of me was a vehicle. The size a semi truck with trailer, the hight was over 3 meters almost (10 feet), the length was over 6 meters (20 feet), I don't know why I was imagining a normal car, I am not in earth, I am in an alien world so definitely everything thing will be different, and M, wanted me to drive this thing, I barely was able to ride a bike, how I know that even I cant tell, "mybe because of the age you are reluctant, since I can't determine your age, In this world its totally different from your world, here even 10 years old are permed to drive as long as he or she can pass the test".

"That is not helping." You made it so simple for me, but this is very huge. How do people drive something like this? " saying that I came closer to the vehicle, "I told you I would help you." I can understand it seems difficult to you, but it's easy. " I had no use of argument with M, as soon as I reached the vehicle, while looking for the door that I didn't see, embarrassed to ask M, and pretending like I was inspecting it.

The door suddenly opened exactly on the spot opposite me, I fell too steps backwards, since I was not expecting this, "the vehicle is programmed to respond to you only, since you are the one who is holding the key, no one else can open it or operate it except you" explained to me M, after I fell back,and at the same time the door closed, and there was no trace of it again, some of the guards was near me, and I heard someone chuckled, when I turned back to see who, everyone pretended doing something, it was obvious actually, that was more embarrassing to me, so I mustered my courage and went inside the vehicle.

The exterior of the vehicle was white, and it was egg shaped, but not completely, so eventually it was spacious from the inside, and it was totally dark when I entered. By pure reflex, I reached out with my hand in front of me, looking for the light switch. I don't know why, maybe I thought I was entering a room. That is when, like she was reading my mind, M, told me "there is no switch, just give the command lights on".

When I did that, everything changed in the blink of an eye, with white florescent-like lights encircling me from each side, and what I saw was really amazing. It had two separate seats facing the front, in front of a large panel with a lot of icons. A touch screen panel to operate the vehicle, I didn't comment on that, but I admired it for a little while, still wondering how I would drive it. "Would you like to take a tour?" asked me M., while I trying my best to hide my excitement,I said Sure.

That didn't take long. After a few minutes, we hit the road. Although we had the option to fly, I was not ready for that. Even if everything was automated and I didn't need to lift a finger, it was still better to be safe than sorry, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious. Also, I wanted to look around and watch this world.

In between my destination and the kingdom that I left, there are several small countries, as M told me and showed me a map of the whole continent, and it will take me around fourteen hours to reach it with the normal speed limit. Since I am not in a hurry and want to sightsee, I didn't mind that long trip. I could also make it in four hours if I tripled the speed limit. Like our freeways or highways, there are several lines you can drive on. The difference is that in our world, all the lines have one speed limit, but here in this world, each line has a speed limit different than the other one.

Starting from the right line, the speed limit is one hundred kilometers per hour, and it's the slowest line, and the far left line is four hundred and sixty-five kilometers per hour. Imagine that incredible speed, and anyone who wants to drive more than that has to fly, and when flying, there are different speed limits. When it comes to traveling inside one country or traveling to another country, it's totally different.

I have a lot of information in my brain which I don't know how to use so far. is what M, transferred to my brain, and I can access it immediately, but I preferred to ask M, as I am alone and I need the company and someone to talk to.

Since I was not driving and was like a passenger in the vehicle, I was just watching the scene from the large screen, which covered the whole front side and both sides left and right. The vehicle was like a mobile home, an RV, but really larger. It had two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. The two bedrooms were a master bedroom and an office. It is the most luxurious thing I have ever seen. M was trying to explain the function of it, but I stopped her, because I wanted to discover everything by myself.

It was less than an hour when I saw, from a distance, a city. As soon as I thought about a map to figure out where I was headed, a large map displayed on the screen with specific information:

Name of the city: (Malind)

Population: 230,000

Country: Angariya

(border city between Angariya and Hughes County, trade point between the two countries, tourist points, information hub, free market).

Very impressive and detailed information, so I am at the border. I was wondering how come the capital is so close to the border, and as usual, M, answered me even before I asked, "a border city, correct, but it's not close to the actual border, it's not close to the capital." I was confused now. "How is it a border and not close to the border?" I asked " There is still over one six hundred kilometers to Hughes Country, because the there is a large forest in between the countries in the land, both countries made their borders on its edge" that didn't make any sense to me but I have nothing to say about it "so is this forest belongs to both countries" i asked M and she replied " Yes but Most of it belongs to Angariya".

There was nothing much to see in the border town. I took a short walk around the market, just window shopping. There were a lot of things that I didn't understand. After about half an hour of walking, I smelled grilled meat, and I went straight to that restaurant. The smell was amazing, and after I ate my fill, I went to the border. The officer just asked me for my ID, and when I showed it to him, he let me pass without any questions.

When I passed the gate of the border, I suddenly realized that I was the only one driving on this road. Since I left the tower until now, I didn't see anyone else on the road. Not even at the border, there was no one coming in or anyone getting out. When I asked M, she said, "It's not common nowadays to travel on the road for a long distance People mostly use the teleportation gates or fly by their vehicles, especially on this road, since the forest is very large and nobody knows what they could encounter.

I couldn't help myself but to think, was it wise to insist on traveling by the road?, and I had to ask, "You didn't tell me there was danger on the road?" "Are there wild animals on the road?" M. said, "No, not on the road but in the forest. There are so many different ferocious animals and beasts, but rarely does anybody see them on the roads, so there is nothing worth mentioning or to worry about. I realized there was a possibility, of something happening whatever the percentage was.

I started worrying a little bit. Although I have no idea what was going through my head, my brain was telling me that there was no animal or beast that could attack a vehicle traveling at a speed of a hundred kilometers per hour, or about sixty-two miles per hour, even though I could double the speed by merging to the second line, which I convinced myself with.

I had to ask M, "is it possible for the animals and beasts on this planet to attack vehicles on the roads?" It took a few seconds of silence before she answered, "From the data I collected so far, it's only 2% possibility, and the last recorded incident was one year ago." I felt relieved and calm by the answer I got, but that didn't last long, because the next sentence I heard from M was "the last incident was exactly one year ago today, and as per calculations, after 2 hours from now, and I find that strange." What does that mean? I thought if it happened the same day last year, surely it doesn't mean that it will happen again, and I started worrying again.

    The distance between us and the forest was not that far. I could see the dense trees ahead of me. I noticed when I came closer that the whole area was covered by a dense fog that was covering the whole road and most of the forest on both sides of the road. I was wondering if it was normal, so I asked M, "Is it normal for that dense fog to be around this area?" After a couple of seconds of silence, M replied, "As per my knowledge, this type of fog shouldn't appear in this lower land, but I can analyze it for you when we get in." It only took us a few minutes to enter the fog. Although I was not driving the vehicle manually, I asked M, to slow down because she was the one controlling the drivability of the vehicle. The visibility was zero. In front of us, and I couldn't see anything. At all, and for unknown reasons, I felt something was wrong. Though I didn’t know what it was, I still had that strange feeling. Although the vehicle reduced the normal speed it was running at, but still,

Immediately, she went inside the building and gave an order to the receptionist to track down the whereabouts of Amun.

Although I don't have a scientific understanding of how fog or mist works, the speed at which it cleared was anything but normal or natural. Still holding the box in my hands, I looked around. I hadn't walked that far from where the vehicle was on the main road, and I figured if I took my steps back, I'd be there in minutes.But should I do that?

I hope we have enough time to implement all the security measures that we have been working on." Without a second thought, she pressed the send button and returned the device to the same drawer.

The thing I was referring to as a portal was forming in the same location I have been seeing it in my dreams, or, to say it correctly, my nightmares. And the reason I am referring to it as a portal is because I knew it was, because I saw it with my own closed eyes at that time, the monsters coming out of it, which indicates that it was a portal of some kind. I have been afraid my dreams would come true, and I didn’t wish for it, but somehow I had the feeling that whatever I saw would happen, but I hoped it would be in a different day and time; a time when I was better prepared for it and was able to take some kind of countermeasure for it.I have no idea what kind of countermeasure I could have been able to take.

It was both smokey and liquid-like at the same time, and he was unable to determine what material it was composed of. It was moving like a live entity with a pulsating heart, but it was not changing shape. In a matter of seconds, it gained shape and materialized in front of him at the location the youngster had indicated. He felt a terrible sensation throughout his body.

So far, all we knew in the first volume was that he was looking for his wife, and that was all he was looking for. Where was he imprisoned? What for? There were a lot of questions that no one asked and nobody answered, and no one will unless someone dares ask the correct question.Also, I edited the previous chapter, its not just a copy of the same chapter of the first volume to go along with the current retelling of the story without changing much from the original story as a recap because of the importance of the story line. I remember one reader asking me if I was just filling in the characters for the sake of my book, and he was specifically talking about Jack :) I hope now he got the answer.
