The room was silent, but her heart pounded loudly in her chest. If this ritual failed again, she didn't know what she would do.
" Spirit guides, ancestors, universe, please help me, what could be the reason of all my failed attempts?" Isolde started, her question needed to be answered. So today she decided to make a ritual and call upon the beings who can help her figure out why? . Thought nothing was wrong, everything was in place, her intention was set, everything was good, so why?
Isolde, the only daughter of a library owner man who passed away in mysterious conditions. Her mother then started having mental health problems before she got dimensia, then one day after Isolde came back home searching for her mother, she didn't find her, she ran to the police station but nobody found her, it was like she disappeared into oblivion.
So the daughter is now all alone, the only thing she has now is the library she got after her father, she and her father's friend were the only ones taking care of it. But why all of this happened, and who killed her father? Where is her mother? And most importantly how can she find out. Isolde was introduced to spirituality by her best friend when she was 12, when she was 14 she already mastered witchcraft but kept it a secret, her abilities were one of a kind, her friend's mother was a powerful psychic who tought her daughter everything, but the kid chose to pursue witchcraft, unlike other kids Isolde and her friend weren't interested in new toys or grades, instead they were learning everyday a new potion, a new technique, the only difference was that her friend's parents knew about their daughter's path, but Isolde's were oblivious.
She continued growing in her practice secretly, she was really interested in the unseen, the secrets of existence, the truths of every single detail in her own philosophical smart mind. All was good until her family fell apart. She tried to use her powers to know what happened but for the first time, everything was blocked, she tried and tried but it was blocked, nothing worked out.
One day she got the message, the sudden words she heard in her sleep by the unknown source were " if you want to know it all, you need to go to empror Acheron's dimension and make him fall for you. Then, nothing can stop you, and you will get your answers." She woke up still hearing the sound echoing in her ear, it wasn't a dream, it was real, but who was it? She had a lot of questions, the desperate girl got up to start her shifting ritual.
But her powers are blocked, what can she do? She decided to try at least. First try, nothing. Second try, nothing. She then started to doubt that she even lost her abilities.
After a few other tries, she felt so sleepy her head was spinning, she couldn't control her sleep so she threw herself on the bed and didn't waste one second and slept, then something unexpected happened, she woke up, it was dark, everything was dark, she looked under and she found her body laying there as if its soul left it cold and rigid.
Then the body sank in the dark ground until it was nowhere to be seen, she after felt a pressure on her head, it was so heavy and when she looked at her hands she saw that... They were transparent, a faint hint of color on them, her head started getting even heavier as she got suck forcefully into a tunnel, she was half conscious at that state, she barely knew what is happening.
" I did it ..." she said faintly as her head started getting lighter when she got near the tunnel's end.
Now what will she find in the end of that tunnel? Did she really succeed at shifting? Or is it just a dream?
