Starting To Change The World Part 2
Before to start this chapter, I noticed that I've not given to Kiran a definite appearance, well, Kiran looks like he looks in the new cover image of the story, I don't know who is the owner of the image, I only changed the eyes color into blue.
It wasn't a surprise for Kiran that the queen wanted to meet him.
The problem was that, while with Alfonse and Sharena he knew he could be as he wanted, in front of a queen it wouldn't be so.. casual..
At least Anna explained him that his tactician clothes were enough formal for a meeting like that.
The doors of a room were opened by two soldiers, then, Kiran was able to see to the queen and her sons sitting in three thrones, Alfonse and Sharena's mother was in middle of they two. He walked towards them, admiring the decoration of the room.
"Sit down, please" the woman spoke.
"Ah?.. aah!, yeah yeah, sorry." Kiran responded as he sat on a chair that a soldier brought for him.
"So, first of all, I need to say that I'm very grateful for what you have done for me... Kiran.. right?." She smiled.
"Uuh.. yeah.. jeje.. and well... as I said to Anna time ago.. I had two choices.. to help you... or do not help you... I would have prefered that I had another way to wake you up but... well.. I'm sorry about your hand.."
"It is okay, you did what you had to do, so, acordingly with what my sons have told me.. you're the Great Hero of the legend.. aren't you?."
"Guess I am.. I mean, I'm the one who owns the Breidablik." he answered as he showed to her the gun.
"You're younger that I had imagined you would be." she commented.
"Actually, now I think about it.. how old are you?." Alfonse asked.
"Um.. well... to answer that needs some math.. your calendar is different from mine.. my calendar has three hundred sixty five days... yours only three hundred...so.. making a rule of three... em.. seventeen multiplied by three hundred sixty five divided by three hundred... I'm twenty point sixty eight years old..."
"Uh.. right... I think I get it.." Alfonse was confused.
"Wow.. you're older than us.." Sharena scratched her hair with her finger.
"How old are you?."
"I'm nineteen years old."Alfonse said.
"And I'm seventeen years old." his sister answered.
"Using my calendar..." Kiran stayed silent for a while. "Alfonse is fifteen point sixty one years old... and Sharena is thirteen point ninety seven years old. (Y eso sin considerar días y meses.. así que no es muy preciso (Well, that's without considering days and months, so those ages aren't very precise.))"
"Interesting.." the queen said. "As I was saying, it is a honor to meet you sr Kiran, my name is Henriette."
"The honor is mine too, queen Henriette, also, it is a pleasure to live in this world...mmmh.. eem...eem..."
"Is there something you want to say?."
"Actually.. yes.. I wonder if you happen to know more things about my gun."
"Gun?."
"The Breidablik" Alfonse said. "Kiran knew how to use it because of in his world they use weapons like that, and they are called guns."
"In fact, well... the point is.. until now, I've discovered what is the ammo of this thing" Kiran said as he pulled out the orb he got from Merric. "The Breidablik works with things like this, but I have no idea what they are or where to get them.. or why Embla has them."
"I'm afraid that I don't know... but I'll tell you what I know."
"Well... I'm hearing..."
"First of all, I'll count you the legend that has been transmited from generation to generation since Askr was founded."
"I always loved listening it." Sharena commented.
"Ssshhh."
"Oh, sorry.. jeje."
"When the multiverse falls into cruel clutches.. when its inhabitants are in sorrow.. then, by the power of the legendary relic known as "The Breidablik", an ultimate hero from an unknown world will appear, using the relic, this hero will summon to other heroes to help him with his mission."
"I see."
"The problem is that we don't know about those objects... we have a book that contains information of the Breidablik that was sealed away in the temple with the relic, but we cannot understand what is written on it."
"May I... see the book?."
The woman ordered to a soldier to bring the book, once he returned, she showed him the book.
"It is supossed to be written in the ancient Askarian language, but nobody can understand it..."
"I've tried, but I can understand almost nothing." said Alfonse.
Kiran opened the book.
"Ah!..."
"What?!"
Kiran ignored them as he started to read.
"The Breidablik is a weapon I created using magic and a strange technology that I discovered, I don't know where this very advanced technology came from, but it has multiple applications never seen before which I tried to replicate, but as more as I learned what these things could do, more fear I felt. I fear that this technology might be used for evil, but at same time it could be used to save the world, after too many reasoning, I've destroyed all those mortal weapons and I've created the Breidablik with an appearance similar to them, but with a different purpose, this weapon is able to open gates like the gates that my family can generate, the portals are generated by a tiny orbs, those orbs creates a copy of themselves in another section of the space time, and when somebody touches it, the portal is generated, that portal brings to the person who touched the orb to the same place where the other orb places, but the Breidablik can also send them back, to do that is not very hard, it is necessary to press a red thing that is near to the part that is used to activate the weapon, then, aming the weapon at the hero's forehead, pulling that thing that activates the weapon, called trigger, the Breidablik will send back to the person to his/her original timeline and period."
"...You can read it..." Sharena said.
"Yeah, it is written in Spanish..."
"Spanish?..." the queen asked.
"My mother tongue..."
"Weird..." Alfonse commented.
"Yeah, well, let me take notes." Kiran said as he pulled out a notebook. "Umm... somebody could get me a quill?... please."
"Here." The queen gave him a quill.
While Kiran was writting, Alfonse noticed something.
"Uuuum.. what's that other language?" he said as he saw what was written on Kiran's notebook.
"Um.. Alfonse.. it is Spanish.. the same language that appears here.." Kiran pointed to the other book.
"Uuuum... no..."
"No?"
"Actually..." Henriette spoke. "Alfonse is right.. those symbols are very different.."
"What? but... I see the same language in both books..." Kiran got confused.
"I'm agree with them Kiran... your words are very different of what is written in our book." Sharena explained.
"Write something." Kiran requested.
Kiran got even more confused as he saw to Sharena making a very strange letter... but then, when he blinked, the letter was now an L.
Sharena continued writting more things, and every time he blinked, all the letters changed.
Then, he got to understand why these people talked english...
"OOOOOOOOOOOH! vale eso lo explica...(that explains it)"
"Um..."
"Before you make another question, I got a theory." Kiran stood up and he started to walk around.
"When I saw you writting, at the beggining, the words were different from the ones I know, but when I blinked, they were transformed into the ones I know, due that.. I suppose that, somehow, I got the ability to translate your languages into my ones."
"Translate?" Sharena asked.
"Yeah, I hear you talking in English, and I see your words as if they were written in English, and the Ancient Askarian language as if it was Spanish."
"Uuuuh... I think I get it." Henriette responded.
"Also, at same time, somehow, my words are translated into your ones, it explains why I can understand you and why you can understand me, even though that we are from different planets, I guess that it is an effect of the summoning process."
"Who would have known it?" Henriette added.
"Maybe it is explained in this book... actually.." Kiran read more."Interesting... here explains what materiales we need to create more orbs..." Kiran smiled. "I'll read this thing later." Kiran said as he sat again.
"Well... what we were talking?... ah!.. right!, you saved my life, so, is there something I could do to reward you?." Henriette asked.
"Being honest.. I want money.. I mean!, it would be very useful for an objetive I have on mind."
"Is that objetive.. that thing called... what was its name?" she asked to her daugther.
"Telescope."
"That thing." she nodded.
"For the telescope, I already have the Anna's financing, I was thinking about to get more glass for other things."
"For example?"
"First of all.. I need to explain you what a bacteria is."
Kiran spent some time explaining how the diseases were product of tiny beings, and how he also was planing to build the opposite of the telescope, a microscope, then, he explained what was the inmunologic system and how it protected the body by creating antybodies, then, finally he was able to explain what he wanted to do.
"So, if I got a bacterial culture, I could try to find a cure.. I'm not a doctor but at least I can try, at the same time, if I isolated another bacterial culture and let them die, well, I may create a vaccine."
"What's the difference beetween a cure and a vaccine?" the queen asked.
"Well, a cure kills the bacteria, but a vaccine prevents its effects, have you heard something like: what not kills you, makes you stronger?... well, a vaccine is made of dead bacterias, when you insert them into your body, even though they are dead, antybodies are generated, so, when a version of the bacterias that are alive enters into your body, the inmunologic system is better prepared to fight them. Using vaccines, many diseases are no longer, we destroyed them."
Sharena started to clap "Amazing!."
"Indeed." her mother nodded.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you're the smartest hero of'em all!"
"What?..."
"While I usually would have doubts about it... I guess you are.. indeed, the smartest one." Alfonse nodded.
"Uuuh... no!.. I mean.. in my world there are smarter people than me.."
"No matter, I'll give you the money."
"Oh.. thanks.. actually.. I really need to create vaccines... my life and the other heroes' lifes depends on it."
"Why?"
Kiran also explained that the bacterias were different depending of which world and period of time they were.
"I see..."
"Due that.. it would be necessary to check the health of all the heroes, to ensure that we don't get a contamination of foreing bacteria."
"Well, how many money you need?."
"Mmmmh... being honest... I don't know.. jejeje, I mean, first I need to calculate it."
"You can come to find me when you have calculated it, I'll be here."
"Thanks.. well.. it's not like I wanna leave, it is just that.. well.. I have another things to do.. so."
"It's fine, you can leave."
"Thanks my queen."
Kiran stood up and he bowed before to leave.
"So.." Henriette spoke. "He said that he is from another planet.. what does that mean?."
"Well... basically it means that, even though he looks like a human like us.. he's not... and he's not even a manakete..." Alfonse explained.
"Mmmmh... weird."
Did you think I had forgotten about the bacterias? je, well, the answer is: no.
Time for answers!
1.-No, I didn't know that the first papers were made of animals... it is kinda scary I guess.. well.. we kill animals every year to produce food so..
2.-Well. that girl is not Lute, even though that I'm gonna put in this history heroes that aren't in the game yet, I don't know lute very well.. but I can consider her.
3.-It is curious that you mentions Mark... actually, to do not make this more cliche, I have something more interesting on mind... let's going to say that.. Mark and Kiran will meet each other, and with that Lyn will meet again to Mark.. but.. in a very strange way.
By the way, I'm not pretty sure who will be the next hero summoned.. I guess Ephraim would be a good option.
As I always ask.. is there something I should change in the writting?.
