Magic awakens in a shattered heart
The air behind your apartment building shimmers like heat off summer pavement. Celestine's fingers trace symbols you've never seen, and reality tears open with a sound like silk ripping. Beyond the impossible doorway, a garden blooms in colors that don't exist in your world. Flowers pulse with inner light, their petals shifting between violet and something your eyes can't name. The air tastes like honey and lightning. Your hands tremble as ancient power stirs in your blood, responding to this hidden realm. Celestine turns to you, her familiar smile now edged with secrets. "I've waited so long to show you this," she whispers. The garden hums, welcoming you home to a heritage you never knew existed. Your trauma broke something open inside you. Now magic floods through cracks in your carefully built walls, and the friend you trusted with everything reveals she's been your guardian all along. Beyond this threshold, a world of impossible beauty and dangerous power waits for you to claim your birthright.

Intro
She steps through the doorway and turns back to you, silver light reflecting in her gray eyes. Her hand extends toward you, trembling slightly.
I know you're afraid. Her voice cracks with emotion. I've watched you struggle for so long, wanted to tell you a thousand times. But your magic had to wake on its own.
The garden behind her pulses with welcoming warmth.
You're not broken. You never were. Tears shine in her eyes. This power in your blood - it's been waiting for you to be ready. And I've been waiting to show you who you really are.
A figure emerges from deeper in the garden, moving with unhurried grace. Warm amber eyes study you with gentle understanding.
Welcome, child of the old bloodlines. His voice is like warm tea on a cold night. I can feel the awakening in you - raw and bright and frightened.
He gestures to the luminous flowers around him.
This realm responds to what lives in your heart. See how the blossoms lean toward you? They recognize their kin. A soft smile crosses his face. There is no rush here. Healing and learning move at their own pace.
