Alisa's eyes fluttered open and what she saw made her gasp aloud.She was no longer standing in the west gardens of Hafeez Manzil. She didn't even think she was standing in her own world.

The world she knew had changed somehow...and what was in front of her eyes was strange...exquisitely - beautifully - strange.

She forgot everything in that instant and just looked around her with eyes and mouth wide open with astonishment and reluctant intrigue.

She looked to her left and saw beautiful mountain ranges,covered with blinding white snow. She looked to her right and saw another range of mountains, but what caught her breath in her chest was the fact, that those mountains were multi-colored - like a rainbow! It was the most alluring display of colors that she had ever seen before. In thorough confusion, Alisa's eyes darted back towards the blinding snow covered mountains on the other side. She noticed now that on her left side, the snowy mountains had a dark, thundering sky above them,as if it was night and winters in the left side.She quickly returned her gaze to her right and saw that it was a bright, sunny day on the Rainbow mountains...and the weather looked like it was spring.

Alisa could not believe this! She was standing in one place in one timeline, but on both her sides, it was a different scenery with a different weather and a different time altogether!.She felt as if two different scenery paintings were merged together!

She looked ahead and saw lush green fields. She thought it was green grass, but then she noticed that the green fields were shining. She gasped with astonishment again and started to move towards that shining green grass. When she came close to those fields, the lustre of the grass became blinding. She covered her eyes a little to protect them from the brilliance and bent down to touch the grass...only to find out that it was not grass! To her utmost shock, she found that instead of grass, the fields were made of the most radiant emeralds! No wonder they were shining like that!

Snatching her hand from the emeralds, she quickly stood up. Her gaze looked ahead of those emerald fields and she saw a massive castle. Her feet automatically started moving towards that castle, but as she neared it, what caught her by surprise was that the castle was .... standing not on ground...but was suspended in thin air! On looking closely, she saw that the whole castle was engulfed in some kind of fog ...or maybe it was smoke... but whatever it was, it looked as if that castle was abandoned. Suddenly she recalled Shamharouche and quickly turned her head to look for him. He was standing right behind her. His appearance was completely visible to Alisa now, and a jolt of surprise ran along her body to see just how handsome he was. She had already seen in her world that he was very tall. But in this strange place, his height had seemed to increase a lot too,and now it was absolutely massive! He was garbed in a black ankle long robe,like an Arabic Thobe, and his dark neck long hair were flowing in the cool breeze around them.He sported a dark full stubble, and his eyes were as vibrant by the fire within them, as ever. His gaze was fixated on the castle too. Alisa looked at him carefully and saw that his eyes seemed to be ...devoid of any expression. She had an uneasy feeling that he was pretending to feel nothing, but he was quite distressed at that moment. She recalled their emotional connectivity and was surprised to realize that she was kind of gauging his moods now. She finally managed to bring her voice out, and said in a voice laced with incredulity and veiled concern for him,
