The second she put her foot on the ground all the noises of the street and the cafe went completely silent . She went to get Farah, but no one was there the whole street was empty . She screamed, no answer just the echo of her voice .
She felt the emptiness of the place . Hakim stood behind her with his half-filled coffee . "What about now?"
"What is happening here? Where is everyone?!"
"They still here," he said calmly . She remembered what was written on the papyruses and gasped . "let's have a walk, it will help you . " They went to the back of the guest house facing the Nile . Malika was breathing heavily . "ask me, I bet there are many questions inside your head . " Hakim put the cup on the ground and got a pipe from his pocket and lighted it .

"The spell on the papyrus can't be true," Malika said .
"Why not?" he asked .
"It said they used dark magic! It's about changing destiny and reality! It's unchangeable!" Malika said, putting her hair in a high ponytail .
"That's true but it doesn't mean it's impossible," he said, shrugging his shoulders .

"No, that doesn't make sense, Take me back!" Malika said fast .
"There is no way back, it's your responsibility to fix it," he said firmly .
"Fix what? Why me?! Why don't you fix it yourself?"
"Because of your powers!"
"WHAT POWERS?!" she suddenly screamed .
"Listen Malika, in this world, there are humans born with normal DNA and others born with different ones . Their DNA gives them different abilities like invisibility, duplication, astral projection and other infinite numbers of powers and abilities . Some have stronger powers than others and we are one of them . "
Malika blinked several times . "What are we?"
"Dimensions travelers and guardians . "
"Dimensions what?" Malika said hesitantly .
"Travelers and guardians; it's our responsibility to fix realities and keep its natural order . "
"Realities…natural order…" Malika whispered .
"Yes, there are infinite numbers of realities," Hakim said automatically . He sat on the ground and looked at the Nile . "you know the house of mirrors; it's the same concept"— he drew a small circle inside a bigger one with his hand on the sand of the ground— "let's say the small circle is you and surrounded with mirrors; the big circle . " he stopped and looked at her . "you will see infinite numbers of your reflection on the mirrors, right?"
She nodded . "That's it; one main reality surrounded by infinite alternative versions of itself," he said and locked eyes with her, seeing how confused she looked .
"What is this place then?" she said after a long minute of thinking .
"This is a middle point between the main reality and all the alternative ones; you can say it's a gate to travel from one reality to another and to travel in time through each reality itself . " he took a small sip of the coffee and continued, "only two types of people can go through it; time travelers and dimension travelers, the difference between them is time travelers can't stay here; they travel through it, but they don't actually see it but on the other hand dimension travelers can create a place here; like me creating another version of Aswan . "
"I'm confused… what any of this has to do with me?!" Malika said quietly .
"You're a dimension guardian, it's your responsibility to fix reality . "
"Aren't there other people with the same ability can do it why me?" she took a deep breath then said, "I can't do it . "
"Because the people who messed up reality are in your life, and it just a matter of time before it fixed itself . "
"Great! So, time can fix itself no need for me then," she said and stood up .
"It will fix itself but how do you think it will be fixed?" he said and raised his eyebrows .
"Oh god…" her eyes widened . "Is it going to… kill them?!" she whispered the last two words .
"Kill is not the correct word; erase is much suitable," he said and smirked .
"Erase!!" Malika echoed .

"Where is Donggun in all of that? And who's going to be erased?" Farah asked Malika, stopping her .
Before she could answer, Hakim raised his hand to get them to stop talking . "No more talk, let's watch!" Hakim clapped his hand, and everything started to move .
