Rumors of the young elf prince visiting the castle at night have brought distrust to Caitlin's father as he watches the elf prince closely. Caitlin stumbles upon a mirror hidden deep within the castle walls and releases a Witch who brings destruction upon the kingdom. Her father must keep his promise by not breaking a treaty with the elves to save his daughter and ultimately cast the Witch back into the mirror.
Time seems to fade as you look in the mirror, wishing for the truth. Am I prettier than thee? Am I braver than thee? Am I richer than thee? Who shall dare unlock this mirror? Who will release me from within? The mirror is hidden deep within the castle from the sight of beauty because beauty is the key to unlock me. Come to me, my darling, hear my whispers.
Caitlin journeys through the castle alone as whispers carry her name. Caitlin. She glances over her shoulder, the candlelight flickering in her hand, as a cool breeze brushes past her, but no one is there. She pulls her cloak tighter as her hands tremble and her heart pounds. Fear of the unknown, of the truth, as she is bound to uphold her family’s treaty. Huge tapestries hang on the wall before her, and she stops listening to her name in the wind.
“So help me, Zayden, if this is you,” she warns.
READ MOREShe pauses, looking at the tapestries before her, and takes a deep breath before pulling back the heavy drapes to reveal a hidden door. Caitlin releases her grip, for the weight is too much. Looking around, she sees no one and places the candle on the floor. She grips the upholstery once again, reaching for the door handle, but it does not budge.
“I need a key to unlock your grasp.”
