Prologue

Do you believe in mystical beings? I didn't until one night one paid me a visit and delivered very crazy news. Let's not forget that I didn't believe in any of it until sometime later and at the time my life was dull and very depressing, the news was that I am special, I'm a traveler.

I love to see the unknown and travel all across the planet if I can, so when I heard the word traveler I thought I was having a very crazy dream and that I should take the hint and travel more. I asked if the dream was a message and the Mystical One, as I like to call her, said "No" and started laughing in my face… "You are special you can travel to others realities. And now your time has come to travel to the reality that needs you the most."

"What reality?" I asked, starting to believe in the crazy notation.

"You will have to find out when you get there. I can tell you this. It's a world you are familiar with and where they need you the most."

"Ok…. I'm confused I only know this reality, the one I live in. How can I know this one I'm travelling to?"

"You do. You just need to believe. And there are rules." she said.

"Rules! What kind of Rules?"

"First: You can change the future, but there's a consequence for every life you save you most spend a day in purgatory. A day there is an hour in this world that you will spend in a comatose state. You will remember every moment and fell every pain and injury. If you get burned there your body will burn here, it will hell faster than normal and that applies to all injuries you suffer in the future."

"Are you crazy? Purgatory! That exists? Burn myself… you say that as if you expect me to get burned. It's a dangerous place isn't it?" I will never save someone's life. Well that's not true. I'm so confuse. "Can't you change that rule a little bit? I want to do the best I can and help, but the fact that for every life a day in purgatory is the price to pay, that is a little too severe. I don't know if I should do this. There must be someone more qualified to do this."

She looked at me and smiled "You will change your mind and you will sacrifice that and much more." I look at her. Ok she is a little crazy best not say anything and just hear the rest in the end I will just wake up in my bed. I hope.

"Now the second rule is very simple." Thank you lord. My face most have showed how relieved I was because she just smirked at me continued. "In the end, when all you could do to help is done and your mission accomplished you will die." What? "Say what? Die ….D...I…E…, like in dead, not coming back to my life, here with my family and friends? Why?"

"There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry." I can tell from her facial expression that she is sincere and doesn't wish for me to die. I start to ramble so fast that even I have difficulty to understand what I'm saying. "I know I am a loner and I have a very simple life, but I love it and my family and I believe I can do better and make my life mean something. How can I just die? I didn't volunteer for this." She smiles. "There are many that have the gift you have, you were born with it, like you many girls before and they continued after you were born. It's a gift and a curse and there's no way to stop it. It's the way the magic works."

"Magic?"

"Yes magic, the magic of the travelers was created by a very powerful warlock millennium's ago and when a girl that fits the parameters of the spell is born, she is registered and sometimes they live a normal life time without the need for them to know about their powers, but others like you are needed to find the balance and right the wrongs."

"Will I have a chance to have a normal life? Will I be happy? How long will I be there?"

"Yes, yes and for the last question there's no answer because what you need to do is a calling. The magic will provide you of a sixth sense that will allow you to know when to act and what to say. In a few days it will be like breathing. But don't forget even breathing takes work and you will need to make sacrifices. The most important thing is….do what feels right, always!"

"It's so much to take but I will try."

She smiles a knowing smile like she knows something I don't know. "Well it's time for you journey and I most go to."

"Wait. Will I ever see you again?" I take a step towards her. "I don't know."

"What? Why don't you know? Aren't you supposed to be all mighty and mystical and know it all?"

"I never said that. I'm not a genie." It's my time to laugh. I feel stupid right now."It's normal to over think in the beginning, you just learned you are supernatural and that makes your brain to think about all you ever read about the supernatural, it's normal to be overwhelmed and to over think, but don't forget not all you read is true. Like know it all's."

She laughs and just looks at me relaxed, I feel a connection towards her and all I just learned makes me realize that I probably will never see anyone I know ever again including her. Maybe I should try to be nicer to her she was very nice and patient with me.

"Will you tell me your name?"

"Guardian." I wasn't expecting that name. "Really!" … "Guardian?" I ask with a confused look on my face. "Really! And I need to go you're not the only one that requires my attention tonight." She waves at me while walking backwards away from me. I guess this is goodbye. I wave at her and she starts to fade. "You are asleep and when you awake you will already be in your destination. Goodbye Leo."

"Goodbye Guardian."

She waves at me and disappears completely and so does my vision and other senses and once again I was back to sleep without dreams and strange mystical beings with crazy missions, just me sleeping in my bed, or so I thought.
