Chapter 10 - CHAPTER TEN Echoes of the 21st Century

Next morning he washes his face and picking up his bag leaves for the station.

The station and roads are so crowded that it is becoming difficult to walk. On the way to station, Kalp sees a car coming, that is black in color and looks like a Sedan. Noble is sitting in that car and a commoner is driving the car. The car is going towards lighting train station. Noble is a fat man and he is in purple and white clothes and he is twenty-five years old. The commoner is in white dress and he is forty years old.

'Car? I never thought that I would see a car in this world. Seriously, who would have thought of it. Anyways, I am getting late. I have to go.' Kalp thought.

Kalp reaches the station and sees a train standing on the platform which looks like a bullet train. It is white in color and has ten compartments. The middle four compartments are for nobles, the first and last compartments for goods, animals and slaves and others compartments are for commoners.

'Bullet train, whoever made it, Definitely came from my world. First the car and now this train.' Kalp said.

Kalp goes in the train. There are six seats in a row, there are three seats in each side and a place to walk between them. There are two types of windows, one is a glass window, which can be opened and closed and other is a plastic window which is white and can also be closed and opened. There is a space for luggage above the seat in the train.

Kalp checks his ticket and then searches for seat number eighteen. The train is very crowded. Everyone is moving slowly in a line. Kalp reaches his seat, it is a window seat. He goes and sits.

After a few minutes, an old couple comes and sits next to Kalp. Both have a white skin tone and white hair. They are about sixty to sixty-five years old and they are better dressed than usual. Their names are Casper and Esme.

'Excuse me, how long will it take to reach thee Capital?' Kalp asked to Casper.

'Son, we will reach in the evening.' Casper said.

'Okay grandpa.' Kalp said.

'Son, what's your name?' Casper asked.

'Kalp.' Kalp replied.

'Why are you going to capital?' Casper asked.

'Grandpa, I am going to appear for the entrance exam to the Cosbreeds Academy.' Kalp said.

'Okay, my grandson is also going to take an entrance exam this year.' Casper said.

'For the magician or the knight?' Kalp asked.

'I think for magician and you?' Casper asked.

'For knight.' Kalp said.

'Good,' Casper said.

After a few minutes, the train starts moving. Almost 90% seats are occupied and majority of them are sixteen to twenty years old passengers. After a few seconds, the train takes off out of the city.

Outside the city, he sees a line of people and carriage, children waving their hands towards the train. There are green fields here and villages passing by. After one and a half hours, a man enters the compartment. He is slim and his height is 190 cm. He is wearing a black coat, a white shirt, a red tie and black trousers.

'Good morning everyone, I am your ticket collector, take out your tickets, I will come to everyone one by one for checking your tickets.' Ticket collector said loudly.

After this he goes one by one to every seat and checks tickets. Kalp's number comes and Kalp shows his ticket without saying anything. He checks and gives back his ticket to Kalp.

After a while an old man comes to sell food. He is about sixty-years-old. He comes inside the compartment and rings the bell. He is carrying food and drink trolley. The trolley is very big and thin. It can easily move between the passage way and its height almost touches the ceiling.

'I don't know how the things are not falling off the trolley in the moving train.' Kalp thought

Mostly people buy goods after bell rings. When he came near Kalp's seat then Kalp says, 'Excuse me, I want two sandwiches, juice and a water bottle.'

The old salesman gives him everything what he asked for. And he said, 'Total 2 silver coins.' And Kalp gives him money.

'Grandpa and Grandma, do you want anything?' Kalp asked.

'No son, we have our own food.' Casper said.

'Okay grandpa.' Kalp said.

Kalp falls asleep after eating food.

He wakes up after four hours. He sees some people are sleeping and most of them are having food.

'Oh, you wake up, do you want to eat?' Esme asked.

'No, thanks grandma. I am not hungry.' Kalp replied.

Time passes by talking to Casper and Esme and watching out of the window. After a few hours, the sun sets and Kalp can't see much outside. Coach lights are turns on.

After a few minutes, Kalp sees a light glowing. While Kalp is seeing outside.

'Looks like we have reached the Capital.' Casper said.

The capital is glowing with the lights. Lights are glowing on the city walls.

The walls of the capital are so wide. We can't even look at the end of it. There is a river in front of the capital walls. There is a gap for train between the wall and from that gap, we can see so much light. There are also other trains coming and going from other directions and here the train tracks spread like a spider net.

After reaching near the capital, the train goes over the bridge over the river and enters the capital.
