My family was rooting for me. Whether their prayers, and positive energy could reach this alternate dimension—I didn’t know. But I liked to think that it did.

I crawled for a long time, just barely being able to move. This depth of darkness was like nothing I had ever felt before. A depression so horrible that even after seeing visions of my family, I still wanted to lay down and never move again. But I fought it. I fought it with everything I had. Groaning, I pulled myself up to my feet using a black tree branch, connected to a dark tree covered in an oily slime, and circled by shadows. Negative vibes vibrated within the tree and I quickly removed my hand. The tree was alive but it was also being tormented by this horrible presence. This saddened me further. If I could help this forest, I would.

I tried to pick up speed, dragging my feet the entire time and soon came to a river the color of blood. It was spooky as hell itself. Anxiety overwhelmed me but I needed to cross this water. I stepped only upon the dry rocks and began to talk aloud to myself. Who knows what would happen if the water touched me?

“Where have the pixies sent me? To my doom?” I wiped the tears from my cheeks with the back of my arm. “What has happened here to make it so damn desolate?”

After crossing the river, I noticed a patch of flowers. Several of them grew in a cluster beneath a rock wall. I had seen this certain flower once before. My Aunt Cora had one and she used it to curse her ex-fiancé. He had deserved it though, after what he had done. Anyway, this rare flower I knew to be Hades Paradise. The dark purple flower had black edging that bled into the purple petals. It was sort-of pretty but deadly when used in spells. I was becoming entranced by these flowers and I had to do something to break the spell. Holding out my purple violet, I glanced at it, instead. This worked and soon my feet were moving again.

I continued on, carefully not touching the trees and finally I saw slivers of light trickling down through the limbs. An iota of hope fueled my heart and my muscles felt less like cardboard.

To the left of me, I noticed a cavern. What are the odds? The opening was shaped like an almond and one red flower grew at the entrance. I knew what this cave signified. This had to be the cave that held Izaill’s magic “chimera bean.” Forget that! I wasn’t wasting my time. He could be as disappointed as a pig without mud but I was not going inside to get the bean. Just forget it. I wasn’t even supposed to come this way! This way was shown to me by the pixies. How did he ever think I’d find it on my own? This was far off the original path that I had intended to take.
