"Grandma?" says a beautiful girl child of around age Eleven and has sea green eyes and fawn colored hair.

"Yes darling?" says a old lady of about mid seventies and  with a wrinkled face.

" Where were you last night ? I came to your room searching for you but i couldn't find you? I checked the washroom , lawn and everywhere else. !" says the girl.

"Oh darling Scarlet, i was in the attic. " says the old lady .

" We have an  attic ???" asks Scarlet with joy.

"  yes honey." says the old lady.

" I want to see it ! please grandma pleasee." says Scarlet.

" Alright , come this way ." says Grandma while standing up.

Both of them goes upstairs and then climb a steel ladder which went to a small opening in the ceiling. 

" woahh, it's huge.!!" says Scarlet.

The old lady smiles at seeing Scarlet's excitement.

"Grandma? what do these boxes have? " asks Scarlet.

" Just some old stuff " says the old lady.

Scarlet moves around to see what things does the attic have. 

Her eyes meets with a box .

She goes near it and reads what is written on it.

"μην ανοίξεις  (min anoíxeis) " 

Scarlet looks at the old lady.

"If i'm not wrong ,It's greek . "

The old lady nods. 

" And it means Do not open "

"Very good Scarlet! It seems your additional lessons are really paying off." says the old lady

" what is in this box ?" asks Scarlet. 

" open and see it for yourself " says the old lady. 

 Scarlet opens the box. 

" A book ?! " says Scarlet in confusion ?

"It's not an ordinary book. It's my journal. "says the old lady. 

" Journal ! Grandma would you please read it for me ? " asks Scarlet in excitement. 

"If that is what you want ." says old lady with a pale smile.

Scarlet grabs two chairs in the attic and  places them in the opposite of one another.

 Scarlet takes out the Journal.  

" siimaaky ?  um.. what is that ? " asks Scarlet in confusion. 

" Sciamachy , my darling ( Skee -ah -mahk-ee) , It means A battle against your own shadow. " says the old lady smiling .

" Were you in a war? grandma?" asks Scarlet with curiosity. 

" You can say that ! " says the Old lady. 

" which war ?"

" you might not have heard about it , but we used to call it " 

The old lady sighs.
