I found myself under a tree. I think my eyes were like a telescope because of my astonishment. I remember saying to myself, "Where am I, what is this place?" How beautiful it looked. I was lying on the ground, looking left and right. I was so chilled that I didn't even want to get up, so to speak. The sound of birds, the sound of running water, the sound of grasshoppers...

It was as if I had died and fallen into heaven... Fortunately, I gathered some courage and was able to stand up. The tree I found myself in suddenly seemed to be touching the sky. It was much bigger than a tree should be.

Suddenly, I remembered all the last things happened to me. That book, the vase, the old mirrors, my grandfather's shop... I suddenly found myself in a place like this. I was going to leave that book in the locker, but where was it?

After taking a turn around the tree, I suddenly saw the book standing on a 1 meter long rock. Just as I was about to head towards the book, a bird the size of an eagle, blue, green, red, black and many other colors was trying to take the book off the rock. I shouted at the bird, "Hey, give me the book!" but the bird took the book in its claw and started flying away.

The bird was flying low. I immediately started running after the bird. The small stones I threw at the bird left marks on my hand. Suddenly the bird fell to the ground. Something that looked like an arrow had hit the bird. "Who are you, stranger?" When I heard this voice, I started to run. I was very scared. I was running fast and suddenly someone cut me off. He said, "Wait, where are you running to?" I said, "Who are you?" He stared at me for a while and didn't answer. Who was this person?

He was a tall man with blue hair. And how did he know my language? "What is your name, stranger?" he said. "Aras is my name. What's your name?" With a condescending look, he said, "What a strange name you have, my name is Berkin." I was very surprised. I said, "Nice to meet you, Berkin." Suddenly there was a voice. It was a very different voice. When Berkin said, "Come here, Demir," my astonishment and curiosity increased. I was so bewildered...

Who were these people? Where was this place I came from? I was about to lose my mind, this must have been a dream.

At that moment, someone with long hair, green eyes, a little taller than me, came running up to us. "Who is this?" he said. "His name is Aras, he hasn't said who he is yet," Berkin said.

At that moment, he pointed to the book in my hand and said, "Whatever happened to me happened because of this book. Last time I came to my grandfather's antique shop to help my grandfather. My grandfather left the shop to me, then I wanted to read this anonymous book because I was bored. Of course, I wanted to leave the book in a nice and clean place so that I could read it another time because I was sleepy. Then I went to the storage room and looked for a place to leave the book, and a locked cabinet caught my eye. Old mirrors, a vase, a key, etc. I told them what had happened to me.

They were looking at me in amazement. "You must have lost your mind," Berkin said. Demir said, "You've come from another dimension, then come, let's take you to Great Altai."

"Who is he?" I said. "He will introduce himself to me," Berkin said, laughing slightly.

I had so many questions in my mind. Who were these people? I couldn't make sense of any of this, I was scared and curious at the same time. The events I was experiencing were so extraordinary that I thought it could be a dream, but everything was real. "Okay, I'll go with you," I said.

Berkin and Demir were in front and I was behind them, going to the place they said. There were stones on the ground and lush green meadows. There were even animals that resembled a gazelle I had seen in a documentary, birds scattered left and right, squirrels playing...

The biggest thing that caught my attention was that there were only forests and these. There were no people, no buildings, no houses. I had a very strange feeling. I couldn't put the book down and I was very curious about the secret in this book.

Berkin and Demir were going very fast. I could say I was running to catch up with them. Ediz must have been worried about me. He was going to come to the store. I wondered what he would think when he couldn't see me. I had just remembered that I had a cell phone in my pocket. I immediately put my hand in my pocket, the time on the phone showed 12:23 pm. The last time I looked at the time was when I talked to Ediz on the phone while opening the closet. It was 12:23 p.m. then too. I was very surprised. When Berkin said, "Come on, hurry up," I put the phone in my pocket.

At that moment, we came across a very majestic river that was flowing. Berkin and Demir went into the river. I was very scared of going into the river, because I had never been in a river like this before. When Berkin said, "Come on, get in, you coward," I was very angry. Demir said, "Okay, get in slowly, you'll be fine." There was nothing much to do, I had to go in the river.

The river was flowing very fast. I fell as soon as I stepped into the water. Berkin and Demir laughed. I knew how to swim until I entered the river. The fast flowing water started to take me away. At that moment Demir took me by the hand and we crossed the river together. I was covered in water. I took the phone out of my pocket. The phone was working even though it was in the water. Berkin and Demir were looking at the phone in my hand in astonishment. The phone was still showing 12:23. I put the phone in my pocket and started to follow Berkin and Demir. Beautiful flowers, tulips, bushes...

Everything was so beautiful that I thought to myself that this was paradise. We entered a wooded area with dense trees. There was a very high mountain in front of us. Berkin said, "Can you climb this mountain?" I said, "I can." This mountain was so high, I couldn't even see the top from below.

At that moment Demir said, "Don't take a wrong step, it could be dangerous." As we were climbing, I looked up at the trees at the foot of the mountain. I saw something moving in the forest. "Look, there's something down there," I said. Berkin and Demir also looked. Suddenly I realized those things were moving. I backed away in fear.

Just then, I saw a light at the top of the mountain. The light was getting bigger. Berkin and Demir must have noticed it too because their eyes lit up. We continued climbing towards the top of the mountain and finally we reached the top of the mountain.

The view I saw was incredible. There was a city above the forest. This city was full of tall towers reaching up to the sky. Lights, colors, different structures... Everything was so mesmerizing.

Iron laughed and said, "Here is the Great Altai!" "Welcome, Aras," Berkin said.

I didn't know what secrets and adventures awaited me in Great Altai, but I was eagerly and excitedly looking forward to stepping into this unknown world.
