"He isn't real, love", he said, his voice cracking "But I am" --- Who is Chessaya? She's desperate, lonely, beautiful, angry, nonchalant and maybe a little superficial.

Chessaya returns after a summer in the spin-off of "Fading Into The Accursed", leading now a normal life, without magic - Or so she thinks. Her premonitions that were her 'gift' from when she was born transform into dreams of another land, one in which Chessaya starts to live in with her soul - Even though her physical heart is in the real world.
