Minutes later, Chon and I arrived at his brother's grave which stood at the base of a sheer cliff at the edge of an old cemetery. As we approached it, an image of Chon's bother appeared and smiled sadly at them. "I do not have much time so please save your questions for later." Calmly, he said. "There are things that even magic and mad science can not explain."
"Chang..." Whispering, Chon said. "Are you dead... alive..." he shook his head. "What witchcraft is this?!"
"I am dead in your world, alive in the world I woke up in." Cryptically, Chon's brother, Chang replied. "As I said, I have little time. Will you agree to meet me in my world?"
I was taken back by all of this and all I could think to ask was, "Will we come back?"
Chang nodded. "You will return to your own world but time is of the essence." Urgently, he said. "Will you come?"
Chon turned to you, his jaws knotted. I had to assume he had decided to go. "We will come to talk to you." Serious, I said.
Chang nodded then turned his head. "They have agreed."
There was a flash and i found myself lying on a comfortable bed with a strange girl looking over me. She looked like Jenny's late grandmother from her pictures only younger. "Easy there, kiddo." Kindly, she said. "Trans-dimensional travel takes some getting used to."
"Where are we?" Rubbing the back of my head, I asked.
"You are not in Heaven or Hell if that is what you suspect." A strange man said. "Sometimes, when a warrior dies a noble death, he or she is given a new life in a parallel world." He paused, a slight grin on his face. "At least, that's the most popular theory as most of us had lived and died where you came from."
I looked around for Chon only to find him hugging his long dead brother. Neither were saying a word but in times like this, words are not needed.
Meanwhile, Jenny, searching for you and Chon found your comatose bodies near Chang's grave. She immediately called for help, fearful for your life.
