ItāsĀ a sunny Wednesday but itās not just any Wednesday, today is the anniversary of some prince winning a huge battle. I canāt exactly remember when but my roommate told me it happened somewhere around the year 1392 or so. At times like this, I curse myself for not paying attention to history class but learning Korean and studying design instead because it seemed more important to me back then. Nonetheless, seeing the streets decorated, smelling all the delicious food the street vendors are selling and watching people perform little shows is still highly enjoyable.
āMaybe I can learn somethingā I think while watching an elderly woman explain the story to a few kids. They laugh once in a while, thanks to the jokes the woman tells, and they seem highly interested. From a few steps away, I listen for a few minutes.
ā... and then the prince leads his army into the battle,ā the woman says enthusiastically, some kids were holding their breath, barely able to contain theirĀ excitement.Ā āall of the soldiers were brave but itās thanks to their prince that they won because...ā
Right when it gets to the most interesting part, my phone rings. Hastily I try to find it in my handbag but itās like itās gone even though the ringing tells me otherwise. Earning a few glances from the parents standing behind their children, I step away around the corner when I finally find my phone and answer it.
āYep?ā I ask, already knowing who is calling me.
āHeyā my roommate answers.Ā āAre you already there?ā
āYeah, Iām at...ā looking around, I notice that I must have walked further than I thought I did because I could neither see nor hear anything festival related.Ā āIāll send you my location and you can come to pick me up, alright?ā
āSure, Iāll be there in 20 minutes, bye,ā she says and hangs up.
After sending her my location, I look around a bit more. I canāt quite explain how I got here so fast and thereās nothing around I know to tell me where I actually am. Behind me towers a huge modern building, probably a big company I donāt know of. I try to read the sign in front of the door but the only thing I understand is something likeĀ āscienceā.
Sighing, I sit down on a bench, feeling really lost. How could I get lost this fast? I shake my head in disbelief when suddenly my head gets dizzy. Or at least I thought so, but itās the earth thatās shaking. Iāve never experienced an earthquake and not knowing what to do, I get a little panicky, standing up and looking for other people around. But I was alone, totally alone when out of a sudden I hear thunder not too far away from me.
I look up to the perfect blue sky, sun shining and not a single cloud to be seen. The earthquake stopped but I noticed the sun becoming brighter by the second.
āThis canāt be normalā I mutter to myself.Ā āThis is absolutely-ā
I canāt even finish my sentence before a bolt of lightning, that seems to be coming from the sun, strikes me. My skin feels like it burns, my head spins and just like that I fall to the ground, unconscious.
The next thing I can remember is me blinking a few times, not being sure how I survived. Little do I notice yet that I am at a completely different location, surrounded by fields and a small village. I am way too focused on rubbing my head and checking my body for any injuries.
