This is a story about a young girl who have struggled most of her childhood to please the people she cared about, not knowing that it will never be enough.
She journeys through mystical lands trying to find answers about her past, finding friendship...
I walked around the forest, dripping wet from falling in the lake, my dress heavy with the amount of water in it, my hair tangled,
I hear wings flapping from above me, i look up and see Everest, i feel so happy to have at least her with me, everyone in the palace is likely looking for me to kill me,
"Are you alright Celestea?!, i saw what happened in the palace after you left but i couldn't find you because of the heavy trees!?" she said her voice full of concern
I sat down on a the ground leaning my back on a boulder and started sobbing,
"i don't know, what have i done-?!, Everest i k-killed people-?!, what about their families-a-and their.."
i can't even finish a sentence, i bring my knees to my chest and hugged them tightly laying my head on them,
"No Celestea you didn't mean for it to happen, i may only know you for a little amount of time, but i KNOW that you would never hurt a soul on purpose" Everest looks at me with pleading eyes while saying that.
I finally stop crying and look at her, "What do we do now?, i can't go back, even if they somehow don't kill me or lock me in the dungeons, i still can't control the power inside me!, what if i hurt mother, or Liam" I say frustrated then look at everest, she says:
"well, there is a place we can go, it's called 'Crystalline', the land of the vintraterr (wind riders)"
"and where is that?" i asked hopping it isn't very far. Everest looks at me with a smug smile and says: "to go there you need to have your own soul key" "soul key?" "a soul key is a necklace that contains a special kind of stone or gem that can only belong to one rider, not even a normal being can have one, and if you have it all you have to do is say the enchantment and you arrive on Crystalline"
"and how do i get the soul key?" "I suspect that there is a cave that has some in this realm, if you'd like i can take you there" "yes, thank you Everest"
Everest leans down and i sit on her back apologizing for getting her wet with my dress, she flies over the dark sea sense it's night and over huge mountains and waterfall 'this realm is very beautiful, if only it's king was'
The sun begins to rise flashing it's rays on the blue sea, we reach a small island that has a small mountain,
"we have arrived Celestea" Everest says landing gracefully on the shore.
I slide off of her and take a few steps forward, i turn around facing everest, "okay, now do you know where the cave is?" i ask, "yes i do, come"
I follow Everest for a few minutes passing waterfalls and small lakes until she stops looking at a stone wall, she places her forehead on the wall and it starts to glow, the stone wall disappears leaving an open chamber, "how did you do that?!" I ask astonished, "it's a barrier, i just have to order it to open, and so can you" "what!!, you mean i can remove the wall with just an order?!"
"yes" she says chuckling at my excitement, "well go in, go chose your soul key, and let it choose you"
"how will i know it chooses me?, and how will i know it's mine?"
"you will know it chooses you if it glows when you go near it, and you will feel a pull towards it that's when you know it is your's"
"okay" i say that and enter through the opening, i immediately see all kinds of stones connected to chains, some are long, oval, cercle, square, triangle, and some are either smooth or rough,
i pass thousands of small stones and gems when i stop, i feel something tugging on me, i turn around and look at a very beautiful gem, rough blue with hints of purple to it, a black chain attached on the top👇🏻

I reach for it and it starts to glow, like a lot!, i touch it and it covers the whole room with its bright glow, the glow decreases until there isn't any, i slip it through my head and it lays on my chest, a blue mist comes out of the gem and surrounds me then it all disappears into my body.
I walk out of the cave and see Everest looking at the sky, she turns to look at me and smiles while looking at the gem
"It suits you, and it's very beautiful, good choice"
"thank you" i say holding the gem between my fingers then i remember something, "Everest didn't you say that to be able to go to Crystalline, there is an enchantment to say?"
"yes, and as i can see your eagerness to go, so i should start teaching you, come closer" I walk closer to Everest and say, "okay what do i have to do?"
"first i must teach you what does the enchantment mean, 'clave del alma te pido una escritura , permiteme aventurarme a la tierra de los libres' which means: ( soul key i ask you a deed, allow me to venture to the land of the free), can you say it?"
"yes, i had a lot of time to study while i was locked away"
"i'm sorry about that Celestea"
"no it's fine, come on let's not cry on the past, tell me if anything is wrong 'clave del alma te pido una escritura , permiteme aventurarme a la tierra de los libres. was it correct?"
"yes, very good, now if you want to go there all you have to do is hold your soul key, and whoever you want with you, and chant the enchantment, then just like teleporting, you find yourself in Crystalline"
"would you mind if we go now?, i mean there is nowhere else for is to go"
"of course, let's go"
Everest stands and leans down for me to ride her, i prop myself and hold on to my soul key and enchant:
"clave del alma te pido una escritura , permiteme aventurarme a la tierra de los libres"
I feel a tug of air around me and i close my eyes,
"you can open your eyes now Celestea"
