"Hi. Welcome to your journey. I'm Ancora. I am a spirit that will guide you in this place. It's a pleasure meeting you, Salus." Ancora greeted her.
"It's a pleasure meeting you. I want to ask something. What is this place?" Salus asked.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Praeterei. This is a place of the summoned, just like you." Ancora answered. "The summoned are the mind, soul, and conscience of unconscious people. These unconscious people can still make it back alive if you escaped through the kingdom."
"So it means I can see my origin if I escaped here? But what exactly is the Kingdom of Praeterei?" Salus questioned again.
"Praeterei is a very vast place where only people like you and spirits like me can enter. This kingdom is not a paradise, but a very complex and troublesome maze. Every summoned has its own location and you can not see another person." Ancora answered. "What makes Praeterei special is that it offers you a lot of clues and traps."
"If you want to join with me in this exhilarating adventure, shout these words. Estimo renci pixo." Ancora said.
Salus went to the gear Ancora mentioned and screams."ESTIMO RENCI PIXO. ESTIMO RENCI PIXO!"
The gears of the clock begin to rotate, and the hands start to move. Salus and Ancora can hear the ticks and tocks of a grandfather clock. A beam of light opens in front of them. The ground lifts them up like an elevator, and finally reaches the starting point of the kingdom.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Praeterei, Salus." Ancora mentioned.
"This is the kingdom? This cold, vast,
winter forest, is Praeterei?" Salus asked.
"Yes. Our journey begins." Ancora happily answered.
They started walking to the path.
