The Droan Express train arrived at the station, emitting white vapor and powered by magical technology. The sound of the cylinders compressed by the pistons' movement could be heard refreshingly around the station.
As I watched the passengers waiting at the station board one by one, I took a deep breath before boarding the train. The fresh air filled my lungs, and I felt refreshed.
The sky was covered with cottony white clouds and there was a light dusting of snow in the air. Although it was winter, the air was not bitterly cold and felt pleasantly fresh.
It was almost time for the train to leave for Luthenberg. When I got on the train, limping slightly with a cane in my hand, the conductor approached me.
"Let me check your ticket."
I handed him the ticket I took out of the pocket of the long black coat I was wearing.
"Confirmed. Mrs. Emma. Have a nice trip." I nodded and checked my ticket as I took it. The number 507 was written on the ticket.
In other words, it was the seventh cabin of the fifth compartment. The corridor was narrow enough for only two people to walk round, but it was long and the doors were lined up in a large space on one side.
Room 505
Room 506
Room 507
When I found the cabin indicated on my ticket, I opened the door and went in. It wasn't very fancy inside, but it had everything you could need. A comfortable looking seat, divided from left to right, and storage space for luggage, plus an attached signal buzzer to call the cabin attendant if I needed it...
‘That's not bad.’
As I hadn't packed anything heavy in my bag, I easily placed it on the top shelf and took my seat. The seats were soft, as befits a luxury train.
When I looked out of the window, I had an endless view of the mountain range to the north. The peaks of the steeply rising mountain range were covered with white snow and looked like giants wearing white cone hats.
The train would soon enter through the cracks of that mountain range. ‘Now that I've come this far, can I relax?
My name now is Emma. I used to live in a different world, I remember it being ordinary and peaceful, but when I thought everything was shattered and falling apart, thirty years ago I found myself in this world.
This world was a completely mysterious world where magic and science coexisted. The doors of a new era had opened a long time ago with the engineering developed together with magic.
Now I was on a train to the city of Luthenberg to go to the Arcena Empire. The Arcena Empire was known as the most powerful and developed country on the continent. It was an important place where magical engineering was born and developed.
When the cabin door opened, a well-dressed young girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old stood at the door with displeased eyes. The young girl standing in the doorway was like a work of art made of nothing but beauty. Her wine-colored dark purple hair was braided, gathered, and tied in a bun.
Her skin was spotless, flawless, soft, and clean, almost glowing. The overflowing beauty was so heavy that even a famous painter would not dare to paint her.
Her violet-red eyes shone like a jewel, while two beauty spots under her left eye, side by side like drops of water, reflected her charm. She was dressed in a two-colored black and purple dress, and even its splendor barely supported her dignity. As beautiful as she was, she had an enormous presence that was hard to describe.
