The King and Queen of Matheneya have been warned and sworn to never bare a child. The Rulers, however, had their own plans. A plage - like curse grew into the kingdom for their disobedience destroying anything in its path. May, Princess of Matheneya...
I force myself into and through the mirror, unaware and afraid of what might come.
My skin feels a magical essence and also tickles. I look around me. I was in water.
I stare below me, where the mirror was. I didn't want to be stuck here forever so I swam down into the water. The mirror begins to become smaller and smaller, dooming me. That didn't matter, I'm sure I'd be able to find another way.
Wait.
How could I see this deep into the water? Wouldn't everything be dark? And why was I breathing?
I glared around for anything suspicious.
Nothing.
I glance at my body to see if there were any changes through the passage.
Nope.
I quickly turned my head back down. I thought I saw something glowing beneath me. I screamed to find out what was there.
The truth is that there really was nothing there; just me. But it was me that was strange. I was glowing a bright blue. So bright, it was almost white. I grabbed a lock of my free hair that had been released from the blue ribbon's tight grip. I watch the shiny baby blue ribbon sink to the bottom. My hair was even glowing too.

I cautiously swim upwards, still scanning the simple emptiness. I felt a sudden, 'You forgot something.' vibe and thought for a moment. My face turns in terror to realize that I didn't have the books with me.
How would I know about my surroundings now?
I just might run into Queen of the Dark Arts withought even knowing it. I could simply fall into a mermaid's trap, eaten by trolls, attacked by elfs, or who knows what. Maybe I was overthinking things. Just because in magical realms anything is possible doesn't mean death will find me. I could have been under thinking things as well. I was just so overwhelmed.
I continue my swimming up to the surface. I felt more comfortable when I began to see more light because when I was in pure darkness, I really felt eyes on me. I became alright with what I saw in the lake - until I saw this.
