that she wanted to run but her legs could not
carry her so she had no choice but to crawl towards it.
    As she got closer, the image began to look
familiar. When she was the closest she could get to the image, she
screamed aloud “Mum!”

    Emily now sat up straight on the bed, eager
to see her father immediately as the man motioned for her to follow
him to the room where she met her father sleeping peacefully, the
master had a wide grin on his face as Emily looked down at her
father, his voice broke the silence that had lasted for a while
    “I think he needs some rest now so I decide
we don’t wake him up, we found men from the Kretos clan, they burnt
your town but we managed to save your father.”
    Emily was beginning to get annoyed, she could
remember vividly that she was with her father in the forest and
they were talking about the beautiful flowers and how they had a
particular significance in the family.
    Something seemed to whisper to her and she
was startled, she waited again and heard the same thing now
sounding louder as it hit her eardrums.
    ”You have to run away from here, they are
visibly lying, you should know better.”
    Emily looked at her father once again and
then the idea came to her. She followed them out of the room
without uttering a word to any of them till she got back to the
room where she was supposed to be staying.
    She began to move around the room still
surprised at what just hit her, then thoughts began to arise in her
mind
    “I knew about these powers all along but I
can’t remember telling anyone, how did they get to know?
    My father couldn’t have gotten back to town
within that duration”.
    She slumped on the bed wondering what her
father could possibly be thinking of right now in his somewhat deep
sleep. As she closed her eyes, she could see past her fears into
the future awaiting her before she suddenly screamed aloud as she
sat on her bed… ”I found it”.
    She noticed a silhouette structure in a
corner of the room, she was scared at first but later got the
courage to move closer to her, “I have experienced greater things”,
she said to herself. The closest she looked, the darker the
atmosphere around her became. “I can’t breathe, what’s happening?”
she whispered aloud.
    She tried to move back but the floor beneath
her began to sink as skeleton hands came out and began pulling her
into the floor, she tried to pull herself out but her strength was
failing her, she was sucked in and felt a gush of air escape her
lungs and several more after that.
    Emily screamed and felt herself jump from a
soft substance as she stared at the ceiling of her room sweating
profusely and startled by someone staring at her and talking to her
in a hushed voice.
    “You were having a nightmare.”
    She had a look of both shock and surprise on
her face as she sat upright and asked.
    “You’ve been here all the while since I fell
asleep, I guess it was my mistake not locking the door”
    She heaved a sigh of relief as he walked out
of her room leaving her to ponder about this strange place in which
she found herself and why she decided to stay.

    Evalle opened her mouth wide as she saw her
mother in the most impossible way she ever dreamt to meet her
again. “This only means one thing”, Evalle said to herself. “She’s
dead”.
    “What does she want with me?
    This is going to bring nothing but bad
luck?
    I don’t think I’m ready for all this.”
    She moved few more inches to what she
believed was her mother before a voice she knew so well started to
speak to her from the image in front of her. She stood on the same
spot with her eyes fixed on the ghost of her mother. She then began
to listen to her mother.
    “Evalle, I have something important to tell
you, you have the power no one else can ever possess in this world,
it is an ancient magic that you were born with. I want you to
search your heart for the path to gaining your full potentials.” A
