Power is in the Eye of the Beholder

Her story began like any other girl exiting puberty and running fast towards womanhood, but instead of a sweet sixteen, a quinsañera, a bat mitzvah, or any other form of initiation right, her life in that word came to an abrupt end. The Nici Hermès that was adopted, watched soap operas on TV, and loved swimming, died the moment she stepped through the portal that linked both her world and Nekasrof. This is her story. How it happened, how she discovered the truth and about the people who put their lives on the line to keep it. This manuscript is to prevent Nekasrof from ever forgetting the origins of its most valued gem. To teach them of the world that lies behind the veil, of the importance of living in harmony. Most importantly, that they may know the dangers of greed, of bitterness and pain, and that the preservation of our world is dependent on our avoidance of these vices that corrupt the hearts of men and the gifts of earth.
