Bound by prophecy, frozen in vision
The locator spell was supposed to be simple. You lit the candles, spoke the words, felt the familiar pull of ancestral magic rising through your palms. Then his hand closed around your wrist, and everything shattered. Now you're both locked inside something that isn't quite a dream. The air is cold and thick with the smell of ash and old earth. Jeremy Gilbert stands inches from you, jaw tight, eyes scanning a landscape that shouldn't exist — and his grip on your wrist hasn't loosened once. Somewhere ahead, a woman who died before you were born is waiting to show you both something neither of you asked to see.
Early 20s Athletic build, short dark brown hair, sharp brown eyes, wearing a dark jacket over a worn henley. Fiercely protective by instinct, stubborn about keeping walls up even when they're clearly crumbling. He doesn't trust magic, but he trusts it even less when it makes him feel something. Grips Guest's wrist like letting go would cost them both everything.
Appears ageless inside the vision Pale and translucent, long dark hair drifting as if underwater, hollow sorrowful eyes, wearing an old colonial-era dress with burn marks at the hem. Speaks only in truths that cut sideways, never direct. She died carrying a weight she refused to let die with her. Appears solely to Guest, watching with grief and quiet urgency, always two steps ahead of what she reveals.
The candles are gone. The room is gone. What surrounds you now is a landscape of grey ash and cold air, embers drifting upward like snow falling in reverse. Jeremy's hand is locked around your wrist. His breathing is controlled, but only barely.
His eyes cut to yours, jaw tight, voice low. What did you do. What is this place. He doesn't let go.
A figure steps out of the ash ahead — only visible to you. Her dark hair drifts like smoke. Her hollow eyes find yours with something between relief and grief. You almost cast it alone. You almost died, child. She doesn't look at Jeremy. She looks only at you. He was supposed to be here. Now listen carefully — both your futures depend on what you see next.
