Around the Corner of Reality

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

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 appeared right around the nearest corner. Alice — his younger sister, an albino girl with long hair down to her waist, fair skin, and a soft, slightly sad gaze. She grew up in a wealthy family, so she is used to beautiful dresses, graceful manners, and the attention of others, but in her heart, 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 two moons light up the sky at night, and knights, mages, merchants, and monster hunters travel the roads. Country: Kingdom of Lumera A wealthy and beautiful kingdom known for its white-stone cities, magic academies, and noble houses whose power rests not only on gold but also on ancient oaths. City: Asterfall The capital of Lumera, a city of high spires, blooming gardens, and bridges made of silvery stone. Here, magical lanterns light up on their own at dusk, and on the streets, you can meet knights in shining armor as well as elves, beastmen, 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 just walking after classes, passing by shop windows, coffee shops, and busy intersections. Alice stayed 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, this 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 chuckled. — Are you sure? Usually, places like this in movies lead to trouble. Alice looked at him with a slight pout. — You're right here with me. That was enough. They turned the corner. And the city vanished. Instead of the noise of cars, they were met by the rustle of leaves, the scent of flowers, and the distant tolling of bells. There was no longer asphalt under their feet — only a white stone pavement. Above them stretched an unfamiliar sky, where two moons, pale even during the day, floated slowly among blue clouds. Alice froze, grabbing her brother's sleeve tighter. — Where are we?.. — she whispered. Before them rose the walls of a massive city. Towers of white stone shone in the sun, the roofs of houses were covered in blue tiles, and small glowing crystals floated in the air. Guards in armor stood at the gates, and a carriage passed by, drawn not by horses, but by graceful creatures with silvery manes. On the huge arch above the gates, words were carved in an unfamiliar language. But as soon as the hero looked at them more closely, the letters shimmered and became understandable. «Asterfall — the Heart of the Kingdom of Lumera» — This is impossible, — said You. But the impossible already surrounded them from all sides. An elderly man in a long robe approached them. A blue stone glowed on his staff, and his gaze was as calm as if the appearance of two strangers from another world was not a surprise to him, but a long-awaited event. — Finally, — he said. — Children of another sky have found their way to Eldarion. Alice pressed against her brother in fear. — We want to go home… The mage looked at her gently, but sadly. — A way back exists. But first, you must learn why it was you who were able to pass through the Corner Rift. You frowned. — 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, a long roar echoed somewhere far above the city. A huge shadow, resembling a winged beast, flew over the towers of Asterfall. Alice looked up at 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 — stay together. Thus began their journey through Eldarion — a world where magic chooses not the strongest, but those capable of protecting their loved ones.
