I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 60

I dreamed that I was swimming in an ocean of white light, the warmth of the liquid drew me a smile of tranquility, I swam on my back contemplating the illuminated sky without sun, I turn to see the landscape and that's when the water turns into a black mud that submerges me into darkness and I start to hear the screams of a woman that cause me to sit suddenly on the bed, seeing my doctor in a blur as she screams looking at the floor, with her feet on tiptoe and her face pale with grimaces of terror, I stand exalted, determined to defend my beloved from whatever, going over the dangers that lie in wait for us, it could be the dragon or some conspiracy. I realize that a pool of blood is coming through the door, it can't be Simon's or his people's, they were at another end of the castle.

-Quiet, love, I'll see what that is, suddenly it's red paint," I whisper as if the smell could debate it, I open the door and find some horrors, six dead people I can count and a couple of soldiers tell me:

-Mr. Estiben, Chief Jose wants to see you, -he only informs me this and I prefer to just give him a sign to wait for me without asking for explanations, I enter the room I hug my doctor telling her:

-love you must be strong, these times are very violent just like everyone else, please let's get dressed, the king wants to see us, please calm down, we have been through worse things.

We get dressed and follow the guards without saying a word, I help her to dodge the corpses, we stop in front of a window when we hear a noise, we see the small square where they almost burned us alive, there they are hanging some men in groups of seven, there is a long line waiting to be executed like sheep, they could revolt to try to escape, it would even be more honorable if they die at the hands of a soldier than by a rope.

We arrived at the main hall, where Joseph was seated on an iron throne, he looked at us extending a golden scepter.

-He said to us, "Mr. and Mrs. Estiben, as you could find out, you were almost assassinated last night, a group of fanatics could not stand you doing your things in the castle, fortunately I sent those soldiers to take care of you.

At that moment the other Estiben enter, escorted by a group of soldiers and another group of men that I assume are scientists because they are carrying rolls of paper and strange artifacts.

-Hello, handsome man," greets me.

-Good morning, how did it go, did you manage to recharge the portals," I ask them desperately, "we couldn't, I'm afraid we couldn't, I'm afraid.

-We couldn't, I'm afraid we will have to collaborate in making something that generates energy, besides we have a worse problem," the bald guy answers me.

-What could be worse than being in this medieval land, -I only think of leaving with my doctor?

-Apparently Leonidas didn't die of poisoning, he was killed by a virus, I feel sick too, -the bald man tells me, touching his chest.

-That's serious, last night I also saw a recently dead man with a very swollen face, that means that we could all be infected, that's one more reason to leave, -I look at my doctor who is also touching his chest. Again Jose speaks:

-dear men of science and magic, I need you to start a revolution, we need to change this feudal system, we need to create aqueducts and improve agriculture, we need to.....

He was interrupted by a soldier who shouted:

-sir, we are being attacked by dragons and their masters, all because they were not left the offerings due to the fact that we were robbed by that demon.

We ran to the windows, moved by curiosity, with my skepticism in debacle, on the horizon I could see some huge lizards that were spewing fire from inside and behind them some glowing giants followed by a large army. -They are from the neighboring country, they are allied with those beasts," announced a soldier.

-Let's attack with everything, my reign can't be so short, we could use some bomber planes," ordered the king.

The soldiers were deployed dodging the people who sought refuge in the castle, the bullets proved more effective than the fire of the dragons, even the giants were shot down, these weapons caused them wounds and confusion, making them retreat in terror. In a matter of seconds the great invading army fled in confusion leaving their beasts wounded.

-Sir, the enemy was neutralized and withdrew his troops," reported a general, "the bad thing is that we are running out of ammunition, we do not know what threats await us in this world, yesterday I made fun of some peasants who told something about witches, now I doubt everything I believe.

-Wait, we have to analyze the corpses of those beasts, there is something that does not fit me, -I interrupt them proposing this, we run to the nearest remains, a giant on the ground defrauds us when we examine him closely.

-It is just a normal person on stilts and with a disguise," I announce between disappointment because they are not real and at the same time satisfied by my scientific beliefs, we continue analyzing a dragon that seems to try to move, I touch its skin, it is not scales, it is like an old leather, I hit it and I feel a metallic noise and at the same time I hear some voices inside.

-We promise that we will be useful to you.

-I order them taking the command, a small hatch opens from its backside where the four men get out with difficulty because of the narrow opening, I look inside where there is a fifth dead from a sniper's shot, it is a kind of vehicle, each man was driving a foot and the fifth the head, nothing strange, nothing useful, until I analyze the mechanism of the fire that is fueled by oil, that can be useful to us. Suddenly in my head I can see myself riding in white armor and a shining sword.

-What a disappointment, I was excited to believe that these were real dragons and it's nothing more than a cystic show," says the maniac.

-Hey, what are our chances of leaving?

-It's complicated, we only have iron and wood to create things, maybe we have to convince the king to invade the territory of that army, the bad thing is that we have to manufacture weapons, look for mines, chemicals and substances that can be used for war purposes.

-Wait, what if we get a ray and bottle it, maybe that way we can recharge the portal, -that idea comes to my mind.

-It's an option, although we have to wait for a storm," Estiben answers me, a muscular Estiben.

Something else speaks and I can't understand him, everything spins around and I fall fainted on the floor.
