The Day of the Bone Tiger in 1514 according to the Parifat calendar. On the earthly… probably December 9, 2016. I’m not sure exactly. I’m in the sky of another planet… perhaps a parallel world. This question has not been clarified for good yet. On August 12 of this year, I, Isidor Yakovlevich Eichhorn, born in 1973, made an discovery—finding a tunnel in space, a phenomenon that people in everyday life call a "wormhole" or "burrow." Considering it my duty to investigate the find more closely, I followed inside and discovered a completely new world on the other side—somewhat similar to ours and even identical in some ways, and in others absolutely different. Among the most serious differences are unusual, sometimes even anomalous, specimens of flora and fauna—as well as unique substances. And in addition, there is a phenomenon that the natives call "magic." In many ways it really resembles the magic from fairy tales, but I’m sure that over time I’ll be able to find a rational explanation.
