Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 92: Similarity Between Worlds

Blake tossed a few balls of light that spread out throughout the first floor.  With the sudden illumination of the light, everyone was able to get a better look at what they were seeing. What they saw really surprised the group. It was like the whole building was locked away in time. Unlike the other building, they entered where there was not much to it. This place was filled with relics of the past. 

Alicia looked around and saw that her first assumption was somewhat correct. This place seemed to have been a  medical facility. There were many medical beds lined up against the walls. A receiving counter that had something that looked like the first personal computers on Earth. Alicia did not hesitate to walk around the counter and press a few keys. She wondered since this place was locked in time if they still worked. Things like electricity did not exist in this world and everything ran on Magicules. 

The bulky computer made a humming sound as the screen lit up. On the screen were many folders and a few other icons. Seeing how the names of these programs were in the same language as the letters from earlier, Alicia called out to Blake as she sat down. "Blake come read this for me please." 

"Alicia this is?" Blake asked since he had never seen such an object before.

"Let's just say the Subterranean race had a few things that could revolutionize the world we live in." Alicia gave a brief but vague answer. 

Blake did not say anymore and read the screen. "The two yellow images say, daily inpatient and daily outpatient. Next to the yellow images, the white image has the name InterMail under it." 

Alicia clicked the white image and a program came up on the screen. Alicia could tell right away that it was like an email system. There were many messages here but the one that caught her eye was one that was highlighted in red. "Blake, what does this say?"

"Let me see Alert, urgent message read immediately." Blake answered. After which Alicia clicked on it which brought up a short message. Blake did not need Alicia to ask him to read it again as he continued: 'The darkness is not something we can fight! All those infected by the darkness have gone mad. We have tried every treatment possible with no results. As of now, the Head has said to close all doors and seal them shut. No one in or out! We can only hope that those already infected by the darkness will kill each other off.' "It ends there." 

"It seems this was a place for doctors to take in sick people. They must have been researching a way to stop the darkness. That still leaves a question as to what the darkness is. Was it something the fallen god created to enslave the Subterranean race or was this something that came from underground altogether. The letter the person from earlier wrote stated that the darkness had hit other cities. So there should be more cities just as big as this one." Alicia speculated.

"Is there anything else here that might be of use." Blake asked. 

"Let me check" Alicia went to click on another mail but a peng sound and then the sound of something sizzling was heard and not even a second after that the screen in front of her went blank. "Crap! It broke!" Alicia looked around and saw that this was the only computer in the room. "Seems we can only see if there is another one that works in the building somewhere" 

Blake nodded his head and then asked: "Alicia, can I ask how you knew how to work this box?" 

Alicia had expected this question so she calmly replied: "It's like a Magivision only... see these keys?" Alicia pointed at the small keyboard looking object in front of her. Blake nodded his head. "These keys allow you to interact with the images on the screen. By doing so I was able to click the icons which run how to explain this.." Alicia paused for a moment to think before continuing: "A magic system that holds information." 

Blake nodded his head not fully understanding but did not pry any further. He was just happy Alicia explained things this far. But Alicia was really amazed. The things she saw so far in this building reminded her a lot of Earth. It amazed her how two planets or wherever this place was could be so different in some aspects yet so similar in others at the same time. Take this hospital for instance. It had some similar things you would see in an Earth hospital but there were also things that she had never seen before. Since they were no longer able to get anything from the broken computer Alicia waved her hand and put the computer into her space while giving Claire instructions to store it somewhere. 

Blake was confused by Alicia's actions. Seeing this Alicia explained: "In case we do not find another one this thing may hold a lot of information. If we bring it back and have someone look at it, they might be able to fix it. If we do find another one we can also take that one as well. To be honest any more that we find we should take. They seemed to store a lot of information on these things." 

"What you say is right. Any documents or items that store information we can find we should take." Blake nodded in agreement. 

At this time, footsteps could be heard and Starla came walking into the room with a pale face. "Alicia come look..." 

Alicia got up and followed Starla to a room that was a little way down a hallway. Rose and  Loeri were already standing there looking in. When Alicia walked over and looked in as well. What she saw she could only frown.
