I found myself in a different world when I passed the surface of the mirror. I went through it like it was made of water, like walking in a dry waterfall.

An obscure night covered the landscape. I could only make out shapes of leafy foliage and a black fog moving like waves of the sea. My breath turns into clouds of steam, and I stroke my arms to protect myself from the chill of that place.

I didn't know how I can orientate myself in the darkness, but I moved wishing have the light of a candelabrum to guide me.

It must have been a witchcraft. 

The place seemed uninhabited. Did I go to hell? 

«Morien» I called my love's name, while my heart bite accelerated with my steps.

 No one replied.

I started to worry. I didn't expect to arrive at a place like that. I imagined finding my family's castle upside down, a mirror reflection of my reality.

«Morien» I called again, leaning my hands next to the mouth. «I'm Danea, I'm here».

«He can't hear you, dear Danea» said a voice coming from the undergrowth. «Spending so much time here without the sovereign's protection makes everyone crazy».

My eyes had not yet become accustomed to the dark, but I asked that voice to come close.

«Did you see a tall man with a scar on his right cheek, blue eyes and cinnamon-colored hair?» I asked, hoping she can help me.

A small sphere-shaped light rose from the ground and started turning around the wide skirt of my dress. 

«Can you help me?» I tried again.

She stopped in front of my eyes and created a yellow path between the fog. «Follow it and you will find him».

I didn't know if I can trust her, but I was grateful. «How can I repay you?».

«Just remember that I helped you and don't forget: Ghosts have fun to eat my similar». She flew upwards. «Danea, remember that you have accepted to enter into this darkness».

«Wait! What do you mean?».

«Light is fading. Go!» she ordered me without answering.

I started running into her light.
