Y/N's P.O.V

Enter ethereal plane

I was back in the same hallway, I just started walking. I knew where I was going. I entered the main chamber and saw people in the robes sitting and conversing. No one had their hoods up so, I let them be. Manuel approached me. 

"Hey Y/N, it's wonderful to see you," He said. I smiled and nodded. 

"Thanks, it's great to see you too," I greeted him. He smiled and gestured for me to follow him. I did. We entered the library and I saw Jacob and Dorthea having a conversation. We walked over and I waited for them to notice us. 

"Hello Y/N, it's very nice to see you again," Dorthea said. I smiled and nodded. Jacob gave me a hug and I returned the affection. "How goes the new ability?" Dorthea asked me. 

"It's okay, I never realized the language barrier between the living and the deceased," I answered truthfully. They all nodded. "I did enjoy talking to Slimer. He's so sweet and innocent," I said. They all smiled at my response. We all sat down at a table that was nearby. Dorthea opened up a new conversation. 

"So, Y/N... I wanted to talk to you about the past, the present, and the future. It is important how you handle things from this point forward," She explained. I nodded and leaned to her from across the table. I became curious. 

"So, we should start with the past," Jacob began. They began the story of Hekate, her journey. How she received her powers from her mother and was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy. She assisted Demeter with finding Persephone. She then became Persephone's minister and companion in Haides. They then mentioned a kingdom called Regno Del Potere which is Latin for 'Kingdom of Power'.

"Is that where that boy comes from?" I asked them, to which they nodded. 

"The boy you're seeing, that's seeking you out... his name is Milo Shandor. He was the prince of that kingdom, his family was ruthless and cruel. They banished magic throughout the kingdom. This caused an uproar since there were a few known scorers that helped the people thrive. The people ended up killing most of the royal family, he managed to escape and swore revenge. Your ancestors were some of the people who were exiled," Manuel said. I nodded. Jacob was next to speak. 

"Your ancestors fled here to America and have been here ever since, that brings us to the present. He's been hiding out in a place of unknown origin that he can pull you into if he so chooses. We have to figure out how to find him..." He finished. I nodded and thought for a moment. I decided to speak. 

"I'm sure the guys could help me, we could figure it out... They know a lot about Ivo Shandor" I shared. They all nodded, I sighed and rubbed my head with my hands. We brainstormed a few more ideas but, couldn't really come up with anything. It became time for me to wake up and return to the earthly plane. "I'll see you guys later, bye," I said. I walked back to the special doorway and left. 

I woke up and saw Egon there, I guess it was his turn to take watch. 

"Good morning, sleep well?" He asked. I nodded as I yawned and stretched. I sat up and looked around, the guys weren't in their beds, I stood up and stretched a bit more. "I'll let you get ready for the day... We'll be out in the living room when you're ready to talk about anything that happened" He said. He then left the room and I got ready. Once I was all finished, I exited the sleeping quarters and entered the living area. 

"Morning everyone!" I called out, and the guys turned and greeted me. I smelled food. Breakfast. I grabbed a plate and some food and sat down to eat. The guys sat down around me and waited for me to finish, I figured that this would become a regular routine. "Well, at least you guys are courteous and wait for me to finish before you hound me with questions," I stated. They all smiled and gave a small laugh, I finished up my food not long after and proceeded to wash my dishes. I sat back down and leaned back into my chair. 

"Alright, tell us what happened..." Venkman said. I sighed. I thought back to what was said in the sanctuary. I collected my thoughts and prepared. 

"Firstly, nothing bad really happened..." I started. The guys nodded. "Secondly, do you guys remember our conversation about Ivo Shandor?" I asked them. They all nodded. I sighed. "It seems like it's one of his ancestors, I guess that family is full of crazy people" The guys were baffled. I waited for the guys to say anything. They didn't. I sighed. 

"So, where did they come from?" Ray asked. I smiled. 

"Get this okay? They originated from a kingdom called Regno Del Potere, which literally translates to 'Kingdom of Power'. The reason he's so salty is because his father was killed. His father was king. He banished all magic. My ancestors were exiled because they were magic users. Who! Were descendants of Hecate, the Greek goddess!" I said. The guys were speechless. 

"Holy shit," Winston said. I smiled and gave a small laugh. "This dude that's chasing you, is a prince from a kingdom in Italy from centuries ago?" He asked. I nodded. 

"His name is Milo Shandor," I said. Egon and Ray quickly got up and searched through Tobin's spirit guide for the name. I actually felt helpful. This feeling was quickly overtaken by pain. I fell out of my chair holding my head. "AH!" The guys quickly gathered around me. Everything went bright for a moment and then... it was gone. The pain, the brightness. It was all normal. Except, I could see the magic around me. I could hear it. I looked around. I felt like I was going to throw up. I rushed to the bathroom. 

"Are you okay?!" Ray asked as he held my hair back. I nodded. I leaned back against the stall wall. "What happened?" He asked. 

"I think I got another power..." I said. He gave a small sigh and a saddened look. 

"I'm sorry, it looked really painful..." He said. I gave a small smile. I felt so weak. Ray helped me up and held onto me while we walked. Egon walked to my other side and held on. I grabbed the door and the doorway started glowing, the guys were baffled. 

"Did I do that?" I asked. Dorthea, Manual, and Jacob walked through. 

"Not exactly," Dorthea said. I nodded. The portal closed. Peter and Winston stood there dumbfounded. "I think it's about time we met the Ghostbusters," She said. I smiled. The guys sat me on the couch and Manuel began helping me regain my strength for what was about to happen next.
