The bracelet'soulmate.

Keisha walked fast without looking back as soon as she managed to escape the sunset jog. No one happened to be around the assembly area , perfect!. She has to find the door that will lead her to hidden chamber.

Keisha had realized that, if she needed to communicate with the girl in her imagination,she just needs to talk to the bracelet.

But this was her quest she didn't want to seem like a failure .Incase one day when they have to let her go ,they will not keep her as a slave .

Keisha began touching the wall of the assembly hall,as she moved slowly trying to find the door . When she suddenly felt a strong surge of energy flow in her. The bracelet pulsed strangely on her wrist . 'im at the right place ' Keisha thought.

The more she walked the more bracelet on her wrist got tighter ,making it hard for her to breathe properly.

In front of her was an entrance filled with dark mist (smoke) all over . She knew she couldn't just enter that easily . She had to wait until something usual happens .

Amidst the dark smoke red ink spread on it . As words became clear. "A riddle?" I engulf everything,but I am nothing ,under me ,the under world hides and seeks . what am I?" . Keisha kept reading the riddle over and over again.

She had seen it before ,In the first ancient book . The answer lies in the interstice of realms ,a place where light does not dwell with silent witnesses. It had something to do with the first realm . Could it be something that involves the scroll of the shadow realm? Keisha questioned herself.

Keisha went on to stretch her hand as she touched the dark smoke ,as she looked closely and chuckled. The answer was right in front of her . After all the smoke was dark ..... " I embrace all I touch ,making it dark and invincible for I am a shadow" . Keisha whispered.

As soon as she whispered into the dark mist , Keisha could not bare the dizziness that came next . She felt as if she had been hit by a log on the head. Cold chills soon followed as the feeling of unfamiliarity hit her .

Keisha could not believe what she was seeing right before her eyes. This didn't look like a hidden chamber. She was Infront of a huge tree ,with a dark path in-between " The tree of whispers". Keisha gasped.

Surprisingly there was a moonlight shinning above the oak tree,making it easy for her to see clearly. 'this is an ancient forest '. Keisha said to herself. The moonlight danced upon dew ,as she bravely walked towards the ancient oak tree.

Keisha could not believe what she was seeing . It was a whole library inside the tree trunk. Every step she took made her feel a sense of relief. She had to find the hallow core of the tree and get the scrolls.

She felt like she knew where she was going ,her legs kept leading her . Until they soon came to a stop . Infront of her was a bronze box hanging in mid air , surrounded by a blue light .

Keisha felt something takeover her body ,pushing her forward ,taking the last step with stretched arms ,the box came inside her hands . This is unreal 'she thought.

Carefully sitting on the ground , Keisha opened the box , reviling neatly arranged scrolls. Taking them one by one . They had nothing written on them . Taking the last one ,carefully unrolling .

The atmosphere changing immediately,the air seeming to hold it's breath. As she unrroled it ,words appeared written in latin , reviling it's title " Scroll of the shadow realm". The faded ink making it hard for her to see some other words.

'only one scroll is clear ,strange '. Keisha thought .

"Well it's not strange , this is the first quest we have to complete". Ilario said answering Keisha's question.

" And you decided to show up" . Keisha said with a furrowed eyebrow. " Everything about the shadow realm is scary , and this quest seems dangerous,I guess this is just the beginning after all".

" What does the scroll say about the shadow realm?" . Ilario asked.

" Well from what is written here ,it says the shadow realm is a mysterious and treacherous place. Basically it's a place teeming with mythical creatures that thrive in the darkness." Keisha said taking a break.

" There are four types of shadow beings and they are all dangerous in their own way " . Keisha said reaching inside the box to take the remain object , when she felt immerse power run through her veins .

Taking out the object ,Keisha looked confused." That's the whispering Quill ,it belongs to the shadow realm,it's used to keep the shadow beings in harmony,meaning there's chaos right now" . Ilario explained.

"This is bigger than what we thought ". Ilario added.

"What do you mean ?". Keisha asked looking confused.

" This quest is not just about saving my life and restoring lost magic . Relations and peace is the whole thing we have to set straight. A lot of spiritual artifacts from different realms were stolen by sorcerers ,so they say, inorder to make themselves superior and powerful "....

"As a result most of the witches and wizards suffered a great cause ,as the realms joined forces but it was already too late . The sorcerers ,whose identities still remain unknown were too powerful. " Ilario explained letting out a huge sigh.

"That's crazy " . Keisha said .

" Well the sorcerers defeated everyone. until all kingdoms and realms came together and joined forces fighting till their last breath ,as a result magic was lost , mythical creatures and other spiritual beings were injured and some lost magic they had cultivated for thousands of years". Ilario said. Somehow he was starting to remember some past events.

"Then this journey needs more people,you and I can't do all this alone . We have to go back before they realize we not around " . Keisha said putting the scrolls back in box.

She stood up to leave when the blue light whispered "souls release awaits . The realms await your touch , the wrath of creatures shall be seen". Leaving Keisha confused.

Everything seemed to fade before her eyes, as she felt air being locked in her lungs making it hard for her to breathe . She felt the earth spin vividly.

Keisha felt cold air hitting her bare skin . Slowly opening her eyes Keisha realized she was lying next to the big tree ,she had hid behind during her escape.

Facing the sports ground,students seemed to be leaving heading to the boarding house. Keisha quickly hid the box behind her . As she walked fast to join the others before the doors close.

Surprisingly no one seemed to have noticed that she had been absent the whole time.

"Ladies take a quick shower, dinner time in thirty minutes" the other boarding house teacher announced.

Slowly walking in their room , her roommates heaved a huge sigh . " Why did you all sigh?". Keisha asked , because that was weird.

" We never thought you could get the box of realms" ...

"Matilda please , it's not the time " Tori said cutting her off.

"You guys are being weird , what's going on?". Keisha looked confused.

" We are here to help you complete the quest nothing much"..Zenid answered sounding irritated.

"Huh!?"..... that's all Keisha could say . She did not see that coming...
