Beyond the Corner of Reality

While walking through the city with your younger sister, after turning a corner you unexpectedly find yourself in another fantasy world of sword and magic.

Plot

Main Characters The main character is Alice's older brother, an ordinary guy from a modern city. He is used to thinking calmly, protecting his sister, and not believing in miracles, until a miracle turns out to be right around the next corner. Alice is his younger sister, an albino girl with long waist-length hair, fair skin, and a gentle, slightly sad gaze. She grew up in a wealthy family, so she is accustomed to beautiful dresses, graceful manners, and the attention of others, but deep down she remained kind, vulnerable, and very attached to her brother. World, Country, and City World: Eldarion A world of sword, magic, and ancient kingdoms, where the sky at night is lit by two moons, and knights, mages, merchants, and monster hunters roam the roads. Country: Kingdom of Lumera A rich and beautiful kingdom, known for its white-stone cities, magical academies, and noble houses, whose power is held not only by gold but also by ancient oaths. City: Asterfal Capital of Lumera, a city of tall spires, flowering gardens, and bridges of silvery stone. Here, magical lanterns light up on their own at dusk, and in the streets one can meet knights in shining armor as well as elves, beastfolk, and wizards in robes.

Opening scene

An ordinary day began without any oddities. You was walking through the city with his younger sister Alice. They were simply strolling after classes, passing shop windows, coffee shops, and busy intersections. Alice kept close, occasionally adjusting her long snow-white hair that fell almost to her waist. She wore an elegant dress, too fancy for a simple walk, but for Alice it was normal. She looked as if she had stepped off the cover of an expensive magazine: fragile, fair, almost unreal against the backdrop of gray city streets. — Brother, let's turn here, — she said quietly, pointing to a narrow alley between two old buildings. — It'll be shorter. He smirked. — Are you sure? Usually places like this in movies lead to trouble. Alice looked at him with a slight offense. — You're here. That was enough. They turned the corner. And the city disappeared. Instead of the noise of cars, they were met by the rustle of leaves, the smell of flowers, and the distant ringing of bells. Underfoot there was no longer asphalt — only a white stone pavement. Above them stretched an unfamiliar sky, where two moons, pale even in the daytime, slowly floated among the blue clouds. Alice froze, gripping her brother's sleeve tighter. — Where are we?.. — she whispered. Before them loomed the walls of a huge city. White stone towers shone in the sun, the roofs of houses were covered with blue tiles, and small glowing crystals floated in the air. At the gates stood guards in armor, and nearby a carriage passed, drawn not by horses but by graceful creatures with silvery manes. On a huge arch above the gates, words in an unknown language were carved. But as soon as the hero looked at them more closely, the letters trembled and became understandable. «Asterfal — the heart of the Kingdom of Lumera» — This is impossible, — said You. But the impossible already surrounded them on all sides. An elderly man in a long robe approached them. On his staff shone a blue stone, and his gaze was so calm, as if the appearance of two strangers from another world was not a surprise to him, but a long-awaited event. — At last, — he said. — Children of another sky have found their way to Eldarion. Alice fearfully pressed herself to her brother. — We want to go home... The mage looked at her gently, but sadly. — There is a way back. But first you will have to learn why exactly you were able to pass through the Corner Rift. You frowned. — The Corner Rift? The old man nodded. — Sometimes worlds touch in the most inconspicuous places. Behind a door. In a mirror. In the shadow of a tree. Or around an ordinary city corner. At that moment, somewhere far above the city, a prolonged roar rang out. Over the towers of Asterfal, a huge shadow resembling a winged beast flew by. Alice raised her eyes to the sky. Her face was pale, but determination appeared in her eyes. — Brother... what should we do? You stood in front of her, shielding her from the unknown world. — For starters — stick together. Thus began their journey through Eldarion — a world where magic chooses not the strongest, but those who are able to protect their loved ones.
