***

In the picturesque village of Zermatt, a teenage girl lives with her aunt and cousin in a quaint home. Though they aren't wealthy, her aunt and cousin enjoy a surprisingly luxurious lifestyle. The girl never voices her grievances, feeling a deep sense of obligation to them for giving her a home. She tirelessly manages household chores and takes on various jobs to support her aunt and cousin, who lead lives of comfort and ease, like royalty.

Sera let out a weary sigh as she glanced once more at the letter she had received the previous night. It lay discarded on the windowsill, its origins shrouded in mystery.


"Could this be some kind of prank?" she mused aloud, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Who would go through the trouble? I don't have any friends or enemies..." She tossed and turned in her bed, the words of the letter echoing persistently in her mind, their unsettling message refusing to fade away.

Dear Seraphina Moonshadow,


I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you from the heart of the Eldritch Glade, a world brimming with wonder and magic, which you have yet to discover. I understand that receiving this letter might come as a surprise, but please know that it is written with the utmost sincerity and urgency.


The balance of our world is in grave peril. An ancient malevolent force, long thought to be vanquished, is stirring once more. This dark entity threatens not only our realm but could also cast shadows upon your own world if not contained. The only hope we have lies in a prophecy that speaks of a young witch with untapped potential, who possesses the power to restore harmony.


You, Seraphina Moonshadow, are that witch. Your lineage is intertwined with the magic that sustains our realm, and it is your unique gifts that can help us avert disaster. While you may not have realized your potential yet, the time has come for you to embrace your destiny.


We understand that you have responsibilities and connections in your world, and the choice to leave is not an easy one. However, the safety of both our worlds hangs in the balance. We are prepared to offer you guidance, support, and a place where your true strengths can flourish. 

Please consider this invitation carefully. Our world awaits your arrival, not as a mere participant, but as a beacon of hope and courage. The fate of many rests in your hands, and we believe that you are more than capable of rising to this challenge.

If you choose to accept this call to adventure, please follow the enclosed instructions to cross into our realm. We eagerly await your response and stand ready to assist you in any way possible.


With hope and anticipation,
