I'm Chlora, and I'm thirteen. well, at least that's what mom and dad told me. They also told me that I've lost my memories. I don't understand. Since I was a baby, I could experience the realm that nobody else can even feel or imagine. It's something that no thirteen year olds, or human beings can understand, or approach. The only thing I can remember is in my memories, I see a drop of rain trickling down, then everything just suddenly became silent, it just felt like another spiritual realm. My body was melting, my spirit was sinking...Is this an experiment? Or signal from the spiritual realm...No, it's not that simple..Or not?
