"This can't be happening right now" my mind internally screamed as I felt the familiar yet deafening silence, slowly disconnecting my soul away from my body and my surroundings. I had a thousands of questions as to whether my physical body would be safe while I undergo the "dream" state as I was practically in middle of nowhere trying to locate that one person who could actually give me answers. I was a normal 23 year old, getting ready for an arranged marriage, similar to all girls from my island. Most girls would have got "married" by 20, and my parents were worried that I was actually delaying the process. Little did they know that their daughter was meeting a guy every night for the past year. Oh don't worry, it's not like we're physically meeting. He's my literal dream boy, but the only difference is whatever I sense in the dream feels so real, like that one time when he gave me a rose, and I woke up with one. No one knows about my "dream" state except my best friend and I hope she'll be able to find my physical body amidst the thick canopy of this forest before some hungry wild animal decides to make a feast on it. Slowly I was pulled into the familiar surroundings of that white castle where I would meet him always. Even though this was not the best timing ever, and I could potentially be dead in "reality", it didn't stop that electric buzz rung through my veins as I was waiting for his arrival.

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.
