Winter moved around the room which was lit with candles all around, it was strange that they were already lit when she entered the room when no one was there. There in front of her lied a huge paint work that showed the same carvings on the entrance door but this time had strange writings on it. She placed her hands on the paint work and brushed it with her hands, she had seen this in her dreams while growing up. She looked around the room but it was empty, it was just her, the painting and the candles. She noticed a huge circle was drawn on the floor and a key placed in the middle, there were candles around the circle but they were not lit up like the others. Winter felt an attraction to the key so, she walked into the circle and picked up the key.As soon as she did this, all the candles around the circle lit up. Winter felt a wierd sensation and suddenly became dizzy so she fell to the ground still with the key in her hands. Winter suddenly was overshadowed with a sudden flash of darkness and woke up to find her self back in the forest of Oreb. She stood up and looked around. She examined her body and noticed she was now putting on a White dress. Was she dead? she asked herself. Was this all a plan to kill her?, She didn't know what to do.
" walk with me " A voice said from behind.
Winter looked to see a girl standing behind to her also wearing a white dress . The girl smiled at her as though she knew her quite well and was familiar with her. Winter wasn't sure if she was dreaming without sleeping or if she had died while touching the key.
" Don't worry you are not dead" The little girl giggled ever so softly Winter suddenly became calm.
" Who are you?" Winter found herself asking surprised she could read her thoughts.
" I am simply just a guide and I am here to take you to where you'll find answers" The young girl replied with ease.
Winter studied her for a while. she was black skinned, her hair was white and long just like hers, and her eyes were as blue as the sea on a sunny day. She was beautiful, she looked like she could have been between the years of sixteen and nineteen, it was hard to tell.
"Hurry now there is no time you will have to leave soon" She said walking into the thicker part of the forest with Winter following behind.
When they had gotten to the mountains of Oreb the girl stopped. Why was she back home?, non of this was making sense to her.
" why are we here? "Winter asked.
" she's waiting for you "
" who? "
This time the girl didn't answer she just turned her back to leave. Winter looked back to the cave and took a deep breath She walked into the cave beneath the mountain only to see a Lady in a golden dress seated on the rock. She greeted winter with a smile.
" I've been waiting for you " she said getting up.
" I am tired of being passed from one person to a place and the other way round all I want is answers if you want to pass me again..."
" Be silent little child there is no place for anger here" The lady cut in. " I will now tell you a story, sit with me" . The lady sat back on the rock and gestured for winter to do the same on the other rock.
Winter sat down on a rock opposite where the lady sat. She studied the Lady. She looked royal. She was putting on a gold dress that have a golden cape as well, she was red haired and her eyes were light green.
