"Aii! Ouch!! I'm sorry, I was... I screamed as she held my collar and dragged me all around to the center of the area.

"Not at this moment, ", she retorted.

I responded, "What are you trying to do? I knew you were a witch or something."

"I am Master Semper's ally, not a witch, Alex!" replied Cora, pushing my cap away.

"What stupid things are you trying to say? I don't understand?" I replied all freaked out.

"Hold my hands and keep quiet". Cora commanded me and started to say a weird poem or song. I don't know exactly.

"Stars are falling into the twiggy in drops as heavy as stones."

"Trees stand guard, their silhouettes darker than ever.".

"Additionally, any indication of distress or worry".

"Ahhh, stop," I said, but only after she restrained me and began speaking quickly.

"The pines consume them right away".

"Only the smallest stars are visible where I am".

"Arrive at dusk, and then after some effort."

"The river was quickly found by them tonight, though."

"They are as clean and assured as the great planets".

"A feeling of absence in its former, shining location."

"And back to my dark star from where I currently lie".

Cora's sudden transformation from a seemingly ordinary girl to someone with mysterious powers left me utterly bewildered. I held her hands as instructed, still struggling to make sense of the situation. Her incantation, if that's what it was, felt otherworldly, and my skepticism was warring with the undeniable reality unfolding before my eyes.

As Cora continued her chant, a soft, ethereal glow began to emanate from her palms. It was a gentle, soothing light, like the soft radiance of a full moon on a clear night. The world around us seemed to fade away as I found myself drawn into the captivating energy of her words and the mesmerizing dance of the light.

As Cora chanted this strange incantation, I couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions – confusion, fear, and a growing sense of awe. Her words seemed to carry a mysterious power, and I had no choice but to comply with her request to hold her hands and remain silent.

The world around us began to blur and shift, as if reality itself was bending to Cora's will. I watched in amazement as the familiar surroundings of her living room melted away, replaced by an entirely different landscape.

We found ourselves in what appeared to be a quaint, bustling town. The architecture was unlike anything I had ever seen, a blend of historical and modern elements that defied explanation. People moved about the streets, going about their daily routines, but there was an air of secrecy and intrigue that hung in the atmosphere.

Cora released my hands, and I stumbled slightly, trying to regain my bearings. "What... what just happened?" I stammered, looking around in disbelief.

"We've entered a different realm, Alex," Cora explained calmly. "A realm hidden from the ordinary world, accessible only to those with the right knowledge and guidance."

My mind raced with questions, but before I could voice them, Cora continued, "I am a Covient, as I mentioned earlier. We are a group of individuals who possess unique abilities and knowledge, and we serve Master Covient, a powerful and enigmatic figure. I brought you here because I believe you have the potential to be part of our world, to wield the extraordinary powers that exist beyond the ordinary."

I struggled to process this information. It was like something out of a fantastical story, and yet, here I was, standing in the midst of it. "But why me? Why now?" I asked, my voice trembling.

Cora smiled kindly. "I've been observing you, Alex, and I see something in you – a spark of curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, and a desire to make a difference. These qualities are rare and valuable in our world. Master Covient believes that you have the potential to become one of us, to unlock your latent abilities and use them for the greater good."

I was overwhelmed by the enormity of what Cora was telling me. It was as if the world I had known had suddenly expanded to include a hidden realm of magic and mystery. I had so many questions, so many doubts, but one thing was clear – my life had taken a turn I could never have anticipated.

Cora, too, stood beside me in this surreal Town, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination and concern. "Listen carefully, Alex," she said, her voice echoing in the strange, shimmering space around us. "I need your help, and I need it urgently."

"Help with what?" I stammered, struggling to comprehend the situation.

"We're standing at the threshold of the Time Town," Cora explained. "A place where past, present, and future converge. Master Covient, the guardian of this realm, is in grave danger. The balance of time is at risk, and we are the only ones who can save it."

I blinked in astonishment, my mind racing to catch up with the fantastical revelation. "Time...Town?" I muttered, still grappling with the enormity of what she was telling me.

Cora nodded. "Yes, and you, Alex, possess a unique ability that can help us. You have a connection to the Time Realm, one that you may not fully understand. But now, you must embrace it, for time itself is in peril."

As I stood in this surreal dimension, the weight of Cora's words sank in. It was as if the very fabric of reality was unraveling, and I had been thrust into a cosmic struggle I could scarcely comprehend. But one thing was clear – I couldn't turn away from this newfound responsibility. The fate of time, and perhaps much more, rested on my shoulders.

This land was magical with birds singing, and flowers blooming. I felt so deep walking across this sacred land, It took away all my worries and made me feel peace, a peace that can't be exchanged. My spirit felt divine, as divine as time.

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of towering trees, casting dappled patches of golden warmth onto the forest floor. The ground beneath their feet felt alive, a soft carpet of emerald moss that seemed to pulse with a gentle rhythm.

The trees themselves were a sight to behold, reaching skyward like ancient sentinels of nature's secrets. Their trunks, gnarled and twisted, were adorned with intricate carvings that seemed to shift and move as if telling tales of forgotten times. Vines and ivy draped from the branches, cascading down in lush curtains of vibrant green. Flowers of every hue burst forth from the undergrowth, their petals unfurling to reveal delicate patterns that glowed with a faint, ethereal light.

The air was alive with a symphony of sounds, a melodic chorus that ebbed and flowed with the shifting winds. Birds with iridescent feathers flitted through the branches, their sweet songs echoing through the forest like a lullaby. Hidden creatures rustled in the bushes, their eyes glinting mischievously as they observed the newcomers to their realm. The soft babbling of a nearby brook added to the enchantment, its crystal-clear waters winding through the forest like a serpentine ribbon.

Shafts of light broke through the foliage above, illuminating patches of vibrant wildflowers that carpeted the forest floor. Each step released a fragrant bouquet of scents – the delicate sweetness of blooming roses, the earthy richness of damp soil, and the invigorating aroma of ancient trees. The very atmosphere seemed to hum with magic, a palpable energy that tingled in the air.

The warm hues of daylight gave way to the soft embrace of twilight, and the forest seemed to come alive with a new kind of radiance. Fireflies emerged from their daytime slumber, filling the air with twinkling lights that danced like stars in a terrestrial sky. The trees, once static and serene, began to sway in a graceful dance, their branches intertwining as if sharing secrets with the wind.

This land was surrounded by ancient trees, the forest is full of enchanting beauty and mystery. In the depths of the forest, one can find fairies, pixies, and even unicorns. Sparkling streams and bubbling brooks wind through the trees, leading to hidden coves and lagoons. Ancient ruins, forgotten by time, are tucked away in the trees, and mesmerizing waterfalls cascade from high cliffs. All manner of magic can be found within the confines of this magical place.
