Book 1

Arthuria, Marilyn and Lancitel are three friends who are in an amateur music group. They were heading to the Amateur Band Festival. But their bus got stuck in a traffic jam, and in the end it turned out that the friends were late for the opening of the Festival. Getting off the bus, they decided to take a short cut through a small wood... How unexpectedly for themselves they got lost and found themselves in a dense forest, as if descended from the pages of fantasy stories!

In the forest, the girls met the fortuneteller Viviane, and found out that they were on the outskirts of Camelot, the legendary city from ancient times, ruled by King Uther Pendragon. And not just from distant times, but also from another reality! For Arthuria, Marilyn and Lancitel found themselves in the Singularity 20-01, in the world where the history of the Earth's development went in a slightly different way. At least that's what the interface of the mysterious application told them, the control panel of which appeared before their eyes...

What will happen to the girls in a new, completely unfamiliar world? What adventures await them? What kind of interface appeared before their eyes? And how will the Royal Trial, which King Uther Pendragon, the ruler of Camelot, decide to conduct, end?

Part 1. Other World or Still Not?

Chapter 1. Do the Main Characters Go to the Past? Or is it Still Not?

So, girls, any suggestions: where exactly are we? asked a twenty-year-old and the most ordinary girl with blond hair named Arthuria from her friends. She placed the electric guitar case she had been holding on the ground and leaned it against a tree trunk.

Her parents were fans of the legend of King Arthur. And they even named their daughter after their favorite character.

No, none, meanwhile, replied one of her friends, a beautiful blonde girl named Marilyn, also setting down the electric guitar case she had previously held in her hands.

Her parents were actors of episodic roles. And they always dreamed of raising a great actress from their daughter. They even named her after one of the greatest actresses in history. Although the girl herself loved mathematics and mechanics. But because of the perseverance of her parents, she still went to study as an actress.

We are in the past! Or are we in other world! This was done by reptiloids from outer space! meanwhile exclaimed a third friend, a dark-haired girl named Lancitel. She was gesticulating emotionally with her hands, and the fact that she was holding a heavy suitcase at that time did not bother her at all.

Her parents were elf fans and esotericists. They had an occult supply store, both read Tarot cards and made horoscopes. It is probably not surprising that Lancitel also read Tarot cards well and made horoscopes. She also knew various myths and believed in reptiloids from outer space.

Oh, Lancitel, calm down! Reptiloids — do not exist! Arthuria and Marilyn sighed in unison. And put the suitcase on the ground already! Otherwise, you will accidentally hit us!

No it is not true! Reptiloids exist! And when I made the horoscope, I saw the influence of Mercury retrograde on our destinies! And Tarot cards showed a long way and a lot of life's difficulties!

Lancitel expressively pointed her finger at the sky and looked at her friends (although she still put the suitcase on the ground). Then she continued:

You yourself see what is happening! Where did we end up? What is this forest? It's like an ancient forest with a special aura! We are in the past! Or in other world! Not otherwise! We also saw a golden glow moments before we got lost! And there are more insects!

Golden glow, they really saw.

Lancitel dear, don't worry, Marilyn tried to reassure her. It is impossible to get into the past or into other world — such movements in space and time have not been scientifically proven. There are some scientific theories that consider such phenomena. But none of them have been proven. We just got lost when we tried to take shortcuts, that's all! As for insects, there are always a lot of them at this time of the year. This was even written on the website of the Amateur Band Festival! After all, it is held outside the city... And they recommended taking special insect sprays! Which is exactly what we did.

But what about the golden glow?

An astronomical phenomenon! Or a banal glare of the sun! No more!

But the navigators in the smartphone do not work! And there is no mobile connection! Internet too! Lancitel scowled.

Probably the coverage area here is bad, sighed the previously silent Arthuria.

All this time, she unsuccessfully tried to catch the network. But her phone, like her friends, stubbornly showed that there was no network. Not at all.

And it looks like we'll be late for the Amateur Band Festival after all… Arthuria sighed again. I really wanted to be in time for the opening...

It is understandable: all three friends played in the amateur musical group Lovely Marshmallows. Three so different girls were friends since childhood, went to the same school, and despite the fact that they differed in characters and interests in other areas of life, they had a lot in common.

They were all twenty years old, they went to colleges (albeit different ones) and they loved music very much. No, they didn't want to become professional musicians. They just liked the creative process itself. Therefore, they decided to organize a group together and enjoy creativity in their free time. Arthuria played the electric guitar, Marilyn also played the electric guitar and wrote the music, and Lancitel was the lead singer and wrote the lyrics.

The girls kept personal blogs and a general blog on social networks, where they posted videos with recordings of their works. The videos did not become viral, but they found their audience. Plus, Lovely Marshmallows sometimes participated in various amateur competitions.

And when the friends found out about the new Amateur Band Festival, which was supposed to take place in one of the counties of Britain, they decided to come and participate. The girls successfully arrived at their destination, but due to the occupancy of hotels near the venue of the Festival itself, they had to rent a room a little further. This ‘a little further’ was twenty minutes by bus and the same amount of minutes on foot.

And so, on the day of the Festival, Arthuria
