This and that out there

  “I inherited these ten rings in a secret realm,” Sven said while opening the door of his modified pickup truck for Elizabeth.

  “Yes, I know. You already talked about it before,” she replied as she sat on the pilot seat.

  Sven closed the door, walked around and got into his seat.

  After driving his vehicle out from the small wood back to the main road, he explained, “it is not that simple. I hadn’t awakened my spiritual sense at that time so I was only able to use two rings.”

  “Go on,” she said while opening a familiar chicken flavored potato chips bag which was put on the dashboard. She then ate one and smiled.

  “After the previous accident, I actually awakened my spiritual sense. With the help of it, I got to know the exact functions of these rings. Not only that, I also found my full inheritance knowledge,” Sven said calmly.

  “This wedding ring looks plain but it is not that simple as it looks on the outside. It is called Lilac’s ring. Not only it has a big storage space inside but also carries a rare attribute of being lucky. Literally, the wearer will be really lucky,” he said while reaching out to take some chips.

  Elizabeth was surprised. She looked at the ring on her finger and asked, “really? That kind of rare luck attribute in Skyrim?”

  “Skyrim? What is that?” Sven asked in confusion.

  “Oh, it’s a video game. In it, you can create a character and play with it. You can add various attributes like strength, agility, magic, intelligence and also luck during the character creation process. But luck is not that useful,” she explained patiently.

  “Got it. Anyway, you will be lucky as long as you’re wearing that ring. It’s a very precious ring so don’t take it off no matter what,” he warned softly.

  “Beside that combat suit ring, I also get another three rings which actually give me special armors. Then, I get another space ring. This plain black ring,” he said as he pointed out each ring.

  “Speaking of space ring, this ring here is a special door summoning ring. Behind that door exists a small world. It’s a very beautiful world. After entering it, you will appear in a castle. But I haven’t explored it and beyond yet,” Sven said as he tapped the beautiful blue crystal embedded white ring on his forefinger with his thumb.

  Elizabeth’s eyes were immediately attracted by the beautiful ring. She didn’t hesitate and tried to take it off. Unfortunately, the ring seemed stuck and she couldn’t take it off no matter what.

  Sven glanced at her amusingly. However, he didn’t stop her.

  After a while, she stopped and reached out her evil hands to the modified glove compartment.

  She chose coconut milk can among several different beverages and calmed down her anger with it.

  Sven chuckled and said, “how about it? As long as I wish them to not to, these rings won’t be taken off. It is nice. Isn’t it?”

  “What if I cut off your finger?” she asked after glancing at him.

  Sven was off-guarded by her. He patted the steering wheel a few times while laughing.

  “I don’t know. May be? But what if the ring is still stuck on that severed finger?” he said.

  “Stop talking about weird things. I’m eating,” she scolded.

  “Alright, alright, my fault. I’m sorry. Please continue enjoying your chips your highness,” Sven said.

  “I forgive you peasant. Now, you can stop annoying this princess,” she laughed and said.

  After a while, Sven looked at the highway road signs and asked, “did you inform your parents?”

  “I did. I called my mom and told her that I was going to have a great American road trip with my boyfriend. My dad doesn’t know it because he would certainly ask us to meet him first if he did. So, I didn’t tell him,” she said calmly.

  “No, no, no, we can have a family dinner if you want. If I were a dad in the same situation and my daughter did that, I would be really, really pissed off. We are turning around,” Sven said.

  Just when Sven wanted to turn the vehicle around, the scenes in front of him suddenly changed.

  On the highway road, tens of vehicles magically disappeared at the same time.

  It scared the drivers at the back so much that they pulled over their vehicles to the roadside in emergency. Then, they all started calling 911 nervously.

  Some got out of their vehicles to check and starting communicating each other.

  Some waved at the incoming vehicles and told them to stop as the unknown happened at the front.

  All of a sudden, a small traffic occurred.

  It lasted shortly until a few I don’t know and I don’t care guys drove over the problematic area safely.

  Some also left because they had things to do. Some stayed and waited for the police.

  At the other side, it was a beautiful beach of a big island in the vast ocean.

  Suddenly, a group of vehicles appeared out of nowhere at the midair several feet above the seawater.

  There were pickup trucks, a few sedan and a U-haul.

  Everyone was screaming as they suddenly appeared in a strange place and started feeling the free fall.

  But the screams didn’t help beside being unpleasant to hear.

  The vehicles fell straight into the water. It was just several feet high and the entire free fall process only lasted like a few seconds.

  Fortunately, it was shallow water area as if luck had really favored them.

  Everyone felt the impact but it wasn’t much and no one was injured.

  After looking around through the windows, daring men got out of their vehicles and started touching the water.

  It was all clean and appeared slightly bluish. One could see the clean sands underneath and some strange plants waving along with the water here and there.
