* watching everything around

What a strange place. It looks very different from my world. Bright blue signs on the walls, the doors are of some material that I don't know, the floor seems to be made of something that makes me slide from time to time ... It looks nothing like what I have seen ... And to think that was made by Luni, it creates more expectations for me about what she can do .

Since she called me to become a Gacha , I was a little afraid for the kind of thing she could show me, since it is not common for such a supreme being to appear like this and invite you to something of extreme importance. It is not as if I have already done this, but it seems to me that I am being stuck in that destiny, even in other worlds ...

- Does anything bother you, Elly?

- N-No , Luni. I just...

- Finding this place strange?

- I wouldn't say strange, I would say ... different.

- Well, when someone from one timeline goes to another timelime away from yours, it is something different . - Huh ?

- Timeline?

Instead of answering, Luni just smiled slightly.

- Ellyn, this is going to be something you will need and understand after we have made certain priorities. Until then, just wait for new conceptions of what you know ... Or rather, what you don't know.

I must be talking to a director of a school of heroes who style you based on fairy tales. Now I'm full of doubts ...

A few minutes ago Luni picked me up from Elementia and brought me here to this place through a portal. She just told me that we were going to formalize this "Gacha" business so that we could start what I already do in my world, only in other worlds. We are already walking down this long corridor, with Luni floating next to me. It seems too lazy to walk or whatever.

After a few more minutes, Luni and I stopped in front of a large gate .

- Ellyn, can I ask for something from you?

- Yes, you can .

...

- In addition to this door, I'll give you some explanations about what it's like to be a Gacha, so until then, what you'll see, just take it as something new. And maybe different, as you said a few minutes ago.

From the way she is saying, it seems very much that I am joining some cult or secret society, which seems very doubtful, but I am not in a position to deny her request.

- Okay, Luni.

- Great.

After reaching out, Luni pushes the gate and ...

* BAM!

- AH, LUNI! Excuse me! I didn't want to hit you! I wanted to catch this crazy blue guy who keeps provoking me! Come back here, you ...

- ( sigh ) I get it, Magy. Take your scythe and go to the center there.

- Fine~~!

What was this? I just heard the noise that gave me a scare .

- Now, Ellyn. Come on.

Before entering, I see a girl with colored hair that looks pink tied to two strange ponytails, red eyes, wearing a black and "pink" outfit along with a skirt , holding a huge scythe on her shoulder. She sees me and her eyes just glows like she just saw something incredible.

- Luni, did she ...? - She asks Luni, but she ends up pointing to her to leave.

- I"ll introduce her. Tell everyone to go to the center of the room.

- Okay ~~

After that, she ended up walking away from us, but she was jumping around, looking like a happy little girl. I have a bad feeling in relation to this ...

...

- Everyone, in the center! Luni that said!

The girl ended up screaming loudly and with that, 3 more people appeared. Two guys and a ... cat girl? She looks like a mystical being from Elementia, but the human side seems more evident, and she still looks like a child.

With that, they end up staying in the center of this "salon" , separated by a few meters from each other, as if they were avoiding being close.

- Sorry for taking a few minutes. The time zone in her world it is something almost indecipherable . - That sounded a little offensive to me.

- Don"t tell me! - What a daring cat girl!

- Well, I believe you have already introduced yourself to each other ...

* Luni looking and making a strange expression

- Or don't tried, by your face. So... This girl in green here is Sagittarius Ellyn , but you can call her Ellyn.

I feel like a child in a new school in the middle of the year. Well, the girl in pink and the boy in blue made me "hello" with their hands and smiled ... The red one and the cat girl just looked at me.

- Ellyn, these are ... Ahem ...

(Luni) The cyan boy is called Cykopath , but you can call him Cyko.

- Yo ! - Looks like an energetic boy.

(Luni) The magenta girl is called Reaperess Magy, but she prefers Magy.

- Hello ~~ - Cute girl, but slightly scary... Magenta?

(Luni) The guy in red is called Reddox, so.. you know ... Reddox.

* Reddox closing his eyes and bowing his head slightly

Mysterious...

(Luni) And the tiger girl in white is called Shiro Snow, but call her Shiro.

- Luni, you don't have to treat me like a child. - Is she a tiger girl ?!

After that, Luni touched my shoulder and asked me to stay there between them .

- Very well. As each of you may already know , you were invited to participate in a great project that has been in operation for a long time. Gachas is a definition that will be used to designate people with special abilities from different worlds , who will have a duty to assist and protect all these worlds from any threat. To be honest with you, there are already some Gachas that are active in some worlds , but you were selected exclusively by me for an experiment...

Before talking more about this project, Luni just sighed and there was a slight smile on his face.

- However, before this experiment starts, I would like you to get to know each other better. Since this experiment is going to involve you and it will take some time, I believe that a good harmony between you can make it easier for the experiment to be a success. So you'll be here the next hours and in that time, become better acquainted. I was clear?

- (Everyone) Yes.

- Great. Well, in case any of you need something like food, water or a toilet, there is a room in that direction that will have a kitchen and bathrooms. If you want to call me, just call me.

* Luni creating a portal in the ceiling of the salon 

After that, Reddox and Shiro end up leaving there, while Cyro and Magy stayed there in the center of the room with me.

...

/Trying to talk to Cyko

I think I'll talk to the cyan guy first. He looks like a young man with my age, with short hair and cyan eyes, some cyan lines on his face, wearing a medium black jacket, cyan shirt, black and cyan gloves, light black pants and cyan boots. This boy must have thrown himself into a box of cyan ink because it is not possible for anyone to like that color.

Anyway...

- Cyko, right?

- Exactly! - He looks pretty cool.

- So, which world did you come from?

- I came from Neon City. - Ne what?

- Ah cool. And what were you doing there?

Before answering, Cyko ended up shaking and started to smile strangely .

- I ... Hehe ~~ ... I liked to challenge people ... He ~~

- That's cool. But what kind of challenges did you do?

- Ha ... Ha ... Like ... someone ... Ha ... Get out ... Ha ...

- Ah, I see ... - I think I better get out of here!

...

/ Trying to talk to Magy

- Hey, Cyko. It doesn't scare the girl. - Save!

- Y-You don't have to , Magy.

- Why not? We girls need to stay away from crazy boys like Cyko.

Magy looks like a normal girl to m ...

- Look who says, bloody maniac ...

- (looking strangely) Repeat this again and I'll rip off yoir tongue... Repeat! - I spoke too soon!

- Bloody maniac ...

Out of nowhere, Magy conjures the same scythe she was holding when I arrived and started breathing hard.

- Take a chance, Cyko! Take a chance that I'll rip your mouth out before you say anything!

- W-Well, I'm going to sit down and get some rest. - Get out, get out, get out, get out!

...

/ Trying to talk to Reddox

 

Cyko and Magy are very willing to kill themselves right there. But what kind of empowered people are these Luni got?

Well, in the end, I ended up seeing Reddox sitting at a table, reading a book that I can't see if it has a name. Reddox looks like a peace similar to Cyko, but he is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a red hood , black light pants and black boots with red details. Because of the hood, you can only see that he has a small brown fringe and under one eye he has a red mark ...

Very well...

- Hi, Reddox ~~

...

* Reddox looking at me

...

* Reddox looking back at the book

...

It's not gonna happen...

...

/ Trying to talk to Shiro

I leave the table where Reddox is and see Shiro, sitting on a sofa, looking around uneasily.

She wears a light sleeved shirt with a white hood with black and gold accents and cat ears, white gloves that cover her fingers, a medium skirt with a hole that shows her tiger tail . Like Reddox, you can only tell that her hair is also short and white and her eyes are golden. I still can't believe she's a tiger girl. It's more like a baby tiger because of her little size.

If I'm calm, I think I can ...

- LOOK OUT, ELLYN !

- What?

* Magy's scythe thrown and trapped near Shiro

- NYA !!!

Out of nowhere, Shiro screams and runs desperately behind a pillar near the sofa, trembling because of the fright he got.

What the ?! Is there no one who can talk normally ?!

...

- (speaking quietly) Luni, I need to talk to you .

- Hi, Ellyn?

- Ahhh !

Luni ended up scaring me by creating a portal on the wall and showing only her head .

- So what is it?

- Can we speak in private ?

Before anyone knew it , Luni ended up pulling me into the portal and I ended up in a kind of operating room, similar to what some kingdoms in Elementia have, but there are many panels on the walls and strange instruments .

- So, what did you think of them?

- THEY ARE TOO WEIRD ! Cyko and Magy just need to kill themselves in there, Reddox don't give a s... ahem... And I really wanted to be petting Shiro, she seems more like an animal than someone to talk to. Look, I know it was your idea and I have no argument to tell you that it is wrong but ...

* Luni laughing

- What? Why are you laughing?

- Look, I hoped Magy or Reddox would be the first to call me. And I also expected something like "I don't want to participate in this".

- Wait what?

- Ellyn ... They are weird in your words, but instead of saying that they were complicated to be in harmony, you preferred it. Why?

- Well, it's not like other worlds don't have other forms of behavior, but they are very different.

- Different ... An interesting word choice ...

- Huh ?

- You know, I chose you for that very reason. Because they are so different.

- Then?

- Ellyn , why don't you try to go back and talk to them?

- Because I don't think this gonna work!

- Why not is gonna work or why don't you want to try?

- I tried and it didn't work.

- So you haven't tried enough. This is the mistake of many beings. Don't try something obvious with anything other than what you already know and don't persist in understanding what is behind them.

- Do you think I'm jumping to conclusions?

- Yes. But you are not wrong. You're just too far to think about it .

- Then explain to me why I'm wrong.

Luni ended up leaning on a table and ...

- Ellyn, I chose you because the difference is very visible, but on the other hand, you have things in common.

...

- Cyko was a guinea pig for an experiment and became a boy with hyperactive and extreme traits , Magy became what it is because he was cheated his whole life and was used as a weapon for bad people , Reddox is the last wizard of a line of wizards extinct because of the pride of envious people and Shiro didn't even have a family that was close to her for a long time because of her origin as a different being. And you ... a demigod who always wanted everyone's affection as an equal but was treated differently, even by the people who lived with you.

*silence

- Yes, all of you are very different. But what you have in common is that ... You don't have anything to hold on to because of what you have become. You miss people who care about you. You are alone. And yet, you cannot change that because they have followed paths of no return and regret things from their past ... The worst type of punishment for someone, in my opinion.

...

- I joined all of you because I want to show you that it is not true. You are not alone and people who understand are others who have gone through the same thing. And if you think you have no options to change your past, then I'm giving you a chance to change your future by starting now , using what caused your pain as a way of doing something good so that other people don't suffer the same ...

...

"So, Ellyn ... Knowing that, do you still want to believe they're weird... or do you want to believe in another thing else?"

* shaking my hands

- ( sigh ) Can you send me back there?

* portal being created on the ground

- Thank you, Luni.

- No problem, Ellyn.

* jumping on the portal

...

-Cyko, you bastard!

- The maniac doesn't catch me ~~!

I arrive here in the hall through the portal . I see that many tables in the hall are overturned or destroyed, some walls have cut marks and even have a pillar almost falling to the floor . And besides, I see Magy running after Cyko with her scythe, while Reddox is behind a fallen table serving as a shield reading his book and Shiro is there too, watching the two crazy people running .

Fine...

* channeling energy into the hands and conjuring my bow

Even though they are fast, and I can follow their trajectory and if I can get their way ...

* creating two magic arrows and enchanting them

I can separate them!

* aiming an arrow at Magy's scythe

Magy, forgive me later ...

...

- Stop, if ... AHHHHH!

* Magy being pulled by the scythe because of the arrow

- Hey! Let me go!

- Hahahaha ~~ Can't, n ... AHHHHH!

* Cyko being pulled by the other arrow stuck in his jacket

- ( sigh ) Can the two quiet down a little?

- It was his fault! He's calling me a maniac! I AM NOT THIS!

- If you're not manic, you're crazy ...

* red strings covering Magy and Cyko's mouth

- Huh ?

- You could have done that before, Miss Ellyn.

- So you're not dwarf, Reddox.

- I'm not. I just don't like to talk much. - What a deep voice!

* feeling Shiro hiding behind me

- Relax, Shiro. It's OK.

- Hey! Stop talking like I'm a child!

- Chan yoo ged us oug of kerm? (Can you get us out of here?)

Different ... But the same at the same time ... For a first day, it wasn't like I expected ... But it was ... satisfactory.
