EPILOGUE

My name is Princess Agatha Rothfeller. I was ten when I came into this world. It is weird if someone says that. I was not born on Earth. My home was in Crillon, in the kingdom of Arhlnog. My mother died suddenly. She was not always in good health, but she was not supposed to die that soon.

One day I heard a conversation between my father and one of his ministers. They were talking about Uncle Elijah, who was the brother of my mother. They said he was responsible for her death. That could not be possible. Uncle Elijah may be eldritch, but I knew he adored my mother. He was my third most favourite person. So, I wanted to find the truth.

I had magical abilities. With my magic, I could read memories of anyone with their personal belongings. I wanted to know what happened to my Mom. So I sneaked into my Dad's study room. My Mom's favourite locket was there. I do not understand why my father hid it in his secret place. But the thing looked important. Some people wanted it. Maybe it was because of the expensive jewel. I was so wrong.

When I had the locket in my hands, I was tranced. It could enchant whoever looked into it. I got a bad feeling looking into it. This locket was related to Mom's death. It was given to Mom by Uncle Elijah. I was going to open it when I heard someone coming.

I hid. They still found me. I never liked that man, that big bad wolf, Dorden. He was an immortal who bossed around my Dad's council. He sent his man to chase me. I was the princess of the kingdom, yet, his men ran to catch me. It was an absolute insult. In front of these immortals, we were royalty just in name. I had to run. I could not let him have the locket.

Sigh...

And that led to the massacre of so many of our soldiers. Why? Just for the sake of this piece of jewel. The more I could not comprehend, I clutched it closer to my heart. I knew, my father, the king, would have done the same.

Dolores got hurt while they were chasing me. Dolores was my companion, a spiritual beast. She had accompanied me for five years.

I ran and ran. I could not let Dorden have his way.

A golden crack or whatever appeared in front of me. I was puzzled. As I stretched out to touch it, I was on the Earth.

By Earth, I mean the planet Earth. A name, I had never read in any books. For Earth, my world did not exist. There was no magic in this world. My magic also did not work. I was stuck on Earth.

I lived my life here for eighty years. I fell in love, married and had children. I had a fulfilling life. A life that I could never have a chance to live in Crillon. Still, I wanted to go back to Crillon. Maybe because of that, I am still lingering around.

After I died, I found myself inside this amber locket. It was a dark and damp place, a place filled with negativities and hate. I found myself losing my head.

I had no idea how much time passed, but one day I regained my senses. It was the day when I was in the hands of a man. I saw him holding the locket, looking into it. I heard his name. Aarav, that was his name.

I was curious about him. Why was I able to come out of that insane place after getting into his hands?

So, I decided to delve into his dreams. I succeeded in doing it.

He was having nightmares. He must have had a dolorous life. His mother committed suicide when he was a teenager. That dream still haunted him after a decade. As he was going down in the spiral of his nightmares, I realized something was wrong.

The nightmares were growing intense. They were suffocating, making him feel the pain in reality. All the scenes in his dream had jumbled up. There was a scene of war, bomb blasts, in the middle of it his mother was hanging from the ceiling. It was terrifying. I could feel all his feelings. Even with my lifelong experience and unyielding mind, I found myself crumbling.

He was going through a trial. He was having an awakening dream, which could kill him in his sleep.

He should not be going through an awakening as Earth was devoid of any kind of magic. So, the concept of awakening did not exist.

He was losing in the trial. He was going to die. If he does not break off from the spiral of his nightmares, if he could not differentiate between dream and reality, he would die.

I could not watch it anymore. I tried to wake him up. I used all of my soul's strength and yelled at him.

Wake up...

I yelled multiple times. That did not seem to be working. However, I could not give up. My voice started echoing inside his mind shaking his mind-palace. My voice finally reached him.

Something terrible happened. Not to him, but outside. I did not realize, my soul power caused turbulence in the plane. After, so many years of sleep, my magic was out of control. My magic started going haywire. The amber locket where I was trapped started resonating with my powers. I realized what was happening. It had happened before. A portal was opening in the middle of the air.

I enveloped him with my powers to avoid him from getting hurt. He was awake. He did not seem to remember the nightmare. He was more bothered with the turbulence in the flight.

The flight crashed on some planet. I recognized the place after I heard the native language. Out of all the place in the entire galaxy, this was the place I got teleported. I pitied all the earthlings. Taiba was called the prison of Elysium, a place for political prisoners to be exiled.

I followed Aarav. I did not have any other choice as I was bound to him. Not as a spirit near him but inside his mind. I was trapped deep inside his consciousness. I tried a lot of times to get out, but I could not.

I tried talking to him in dreams. We did talk except he would forget it every single time. I yelled at him to go to Crillon. Every time I appear in his dreams, he would ask me who I was. I would then tell him my situation, and then we end up in an impasse. This guy has trust issues. He would not believe my story every time I tell him. We repeated that conversation for nearly a million times.

I was tired of it. I decided to brainwash as it was easier for pigs to fly than to convince this man. So I started planting ideas in his mind. That was easy as I was inside his BRAIN.

The first idea was to get back the locket. That thing was the most hated object of my life as well as my Mom's last belonging. Its powers were strange as well as dangerous. I still wanted to keep it with me. Maybe it could take these Earthlings back home.

My next idea is to send him to Crillon. I hope I succeed in it. By the time I will become a professional brainwasher.
