"Mmmmmmh …… where… am I?"
Jin raised a hand in front of her face to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight. When they got used to the bright light, the girl got up and looked at the area in which she was. She couldn't find anything more precise, as tall grain grew around her and blocked her view.
How did I get here? I was just in the attic of my house!
Since Jin could only see the grain in front of her, she set out to find a way out of what turned out to be a huge field of grain. Not knowing which direction to go, she just followed her nose - at some point she would find her way out of the field!
After a while, Jin finally made it! She was out of the field and now had a huge plateau in front of her. She looked up at the sky, first stretched and took a deep breath to enjoy the vastness of the area.After she had fully enjoyed the feeling of happiness that had spread within her, Jin took a closer look around: She was on a wide plateau, over which large fields stretched again and again, which stretched out with vast forests and beautiful lakes shining in the sunlight and rivers alternated. Various, complicated-looking irrigation systems kept going away from the waters to provide them with the water they needed. As Jin let her gaze wander, she discovered a large wall on the horizon, which must have enclosed the whole area, as there was no end to be seen.
After moving a few steps away from the fields behind her, Jin turned to look around on the other side as well. What she saw there made her breathless: Behind the grain fields was a large castle that shimmered white in the sun and reflected the light of the sun even brighter. It was bigger and more magnificent than any castle she had ever seen.Every single detail was meticulously worked out!
The lock was made of a material that Jin was not aware of. It resembled the mother-of-pearl of seashells, but it was even lighter and shinier than this.
People are sure to live in the castle! Maybe they can tell me where I am and how to get here!
Jin looked around and saw a path that led between the fields to the castle. Slowly she walked down the path to the castle and looked around, still overwhelmed by the beauty of the area in which she was.
When she looked up again she saw a figure approaching her. The bright sunlight prevented her from making out the stature and face exactly.
He can certainly tell me where I am here and maybe also help how I can get home!
Jin walked up to the figure in good spirits. She was shocked when she realized that what was coming her way was not a human being!It had a human torso, but the rest was more like a horse or a bull!

When Dosha noticed the girl, he immediately grabbed his spear, which he always carried with him, because you never knew what was going to happen, especially not in these dangerous times they were in. The princess had warned the warriors and their companions not to trust anyone and asked them, if they should meet someone, to bring him to her immediately so that she could check whether that person was friend or foe.
Now that he had seen the girl, all kinds of emotions exploded inside him.Who is she? Could it pose a threat to us !? How did she get into the princess's protected area in the first place! Nobody can get in here that easily, especially since the area is protected by a magical wall! That can only mean that this girl must be a strong magician who could bypass all wards !?But she looks so weak! I can't imagine that there is even a little bit of magic in it!
He paused in his thoughts to internalize the words of the princess:Every being, even if it looks weak, can be dangerous for us! It is impossible to infer its power from the appearance of a being. Investigate every little suspicion to keep Gen safe!
He paused and looked more closely at the girl who was now standing directly in front of him. Her long dark brown hair, which was almost black, reached just below her shoulders. The girl stared at him, startled and confused, not like someone who was caught doing something illegal, but like someone who didn't know what had happened. The questioning and confused look on her face, but didn't hide her gentle features. The beautifully shining blue eyes, which seemed as if they could perceive his insides very precisely and read everything in them, made the centaur insecure.Was she really an enemy of the princess? He couldn't imagine.
After a short pause, Dosha let his gaze wander to the strange, unknown clothes.Where do you make such garments? I've never seen anything like it!
He let his gaze wander over the unknown girl again.I cannot imagine that it will pose a threat to us! But I will make sure that it is so, so that I do not endanger us unnecessarily!
In a soft and calm tone he asked his questions: "Who are you and how did you get here!"
The girl in front of him made no effort to give him an answer. She just kept staring at him with her piercing blue eyes, but this time there was a trace of fear.
She is scared !?
He now spoke in a calming tone, but chose his words carefully so as not to scare the girl even more: "Listen to me!I don't want any harm to you! As you probably know, we live in difficult, dangerous times and I need to make sure whether you are kind to us or not! "
The girl took a step back. Apparently she didn't know how to react to the centaur.
"I assure you that you have nothing to fear from me! I will not harm you! I just want to find out the truth!"
The girl now seemed even more confused than before, but she raised her head and said something Dosha could not understand.

The hope that had kindled in Jin when she saw the being approaching her abruptly faded when the centaur - it could only be a centaur; however much she struggled against this knowledge, it could only be a being she had read about in fable books, which in reality were actually not allowed to exist- began to talk. She couldn't understand a word he was trying to tell her.But she could deduce from the centaur's tone of voice that he meant no harm.
When Jin saw the spear in the centaur's hand, she had taken a step backwards. Then she really just wanted to get away from the unknown being, but she had suppressed the urge because she wanted to prevent the centaur from galloping after her and attacking her with the spear. After that she had concentrated on the centaur's incomprehensible words, but found with regret that she was unable to understand them.
I don't know where I am or how I got here! And then there's this centaur that I can't understand. I was hoping he could help me get home! What should I do!?
Hesitantly, hoping that the centaur might understand her language, she began to speak: "I ... I don't know how I got here! All of this is unknown to me, and I've never seen an area like this!Where are we here anyway? "
She looked at the centaur, who met her gaze but did not react. After a short pause, he closed his eyes and wrinkled his face - he must have been concentrating very hard.
Confused by the centaur's weird reaction, she swallowed the next sentence that stung her tongue.
Jin sighed.Apparently he can't understand me!Your last hope died.

Dosha had only been confused for a moment when he heard the girl say something in a foreign language. The magic that existed all over the world was supposed to enable him to understand any language in the world, but apparently it was different here! He wouldn't be able to understand the girl, but he knew someone who could: the princess! No one else, except perhaps a few local magicians, was able to penetrate a spirit from a greater distance and speak to a person.But since he did not trust the magicians very much, he concentrated on the princess in order to draw her attention to himself.
He wasn't a magician, but he knew how to contact another spirit. But since it had been a long time since he had done something like this the last time, he had to concentrate very hard to find and activate the magic in himself at all. When he finally found her, he concentrated on the princess he wanted to reach. It took a while for him to do it. The spirit of the princess now penetrated his thoughts and the familiar soft voice flared up inside him.
What is it, Dosha?
I found an unknown girl in the middle of the protected area and tried to talk to her. Apparently she doesn't understand our language and I don't understand hers either! Normally, magic should make it possible to understand any language from the planet Bara, but it probably doesn't work here.I understand. Is there anyone else in your immediate vicinity besides the girl?
No, just the girl.
Then I will surely have found her aura right away.
Dosha opened his eyes again and smiled. Now he would soon know whether the girl was kind to them or not and why he could not understand their language.

Jin felt uneasy. It seemed as if there was suddenly a lot of pressure on her mind. She tried to withstand this pressure with all her strength. For a while she managed to do that, but as she got weaker and weaker, she could no longer withstand the unknown and gave up trying.
The pressure was gone on the spot and a soft voice spoke in her mind. But she did not speak in words but in images and meanings.Who are you?
Jin could understand the meaning of the words, but at first didn't know how to answer the voice and stopped.Think your answer, I will understand.
She closed her eyes now so that she could concentrate on the conversation inside her.[i]My name is Jin.
Jin, how did you get here? The area around Gen is protected by the Ryoku wall and various protective spells. Usually nobody comes in here that easy!
I dont know. I was just in my house in the attic, where I discovered a mirror whose mirror glass shimmered bluish. When I touched him, this blue light seized me and I woke up again in the
