In the meantime, when Sinbad and Maeve were on the beach, Master Dim-Dim wanted to explain some things to the brunette.

Bryn followed the old man with a heart full of mixed emotions, excitement as she was about to know a glimpse of her blank past, fear of knowing what kind of past she lived a long time ago, awe of this old man who seemed to know too much and his strongly-worded way didn't make her feel that what he knew was something normal.

The wise man led her to a small room in a distant corner. They entered it and with a slight move from his hand the door closed automatically. Bryn winced, not from seeing the door close like that, but from the dread that waivered from him and into her, knowing that she was too close to the truth.

The old man took a beautiful and brilliant flower from the pile of flowers on the table in front of him and breathed in its scent. His features relaxed for a second and his eyes closed.

He started, "Our selves are like roses, some of them are pretty and attractive from outside but there are always these leaves which hinder us from knowing what really lie within us."

With a motion of his hand, all the petals of the young rose vanished. Bryn could see inside it; a long line like mouth with lots of sharp teeth, her features showed her disgust as her eyes sent her puzzlement and fear to the wise man.

" I don't...understand...what does all of this have to do with me?"

The words came out of her lips full of thousands of mixed and confused emotions.

He then moved his fingers over the monster-like rose and out of those fingers blue fire devoured the whole creature and made it vanish as if it wasn't there in the first place.

"Under the shroud of your present there is your dark past."

Bryn quailed at Dim-Dim's words. She was not sure if she wanted to know her past.

The old wizard continued, "Let me tell you a story..."

He started and the brunette tried to concentrate and listen to him, "Many years ago; when wizards, sorceresses and magic were still treated with great respect; many rich and aristocratic families could boast a magical pedigree."

"Some of them practiced white magic and some of them black. There were also those called 'The Masters'. These are wizards born with the inconceivable power given to them by the chosen women. They were raised and thought to have the knowledge about power to help and teach the people."

"They only supported white magic. All of them were warned about black magic but those who chose the other way became the most powerful of warlocks."

"Then there were the twins- a brother and sister born by the chosen one. Their names were Trias and Trea. They practiced black magic. Trea married a young enchanter from the East - Turok. They had two daughters and raised them to be the evilest witches of black magic."

"In another land, one aristocratic celtic girl was brought up by a white magic master. She also got married and had children- a boy and a girl. One day, her happy life was disturbed by Trias, his sister and her husband. Trea wanted to marry off her eldest daughter with son of Celtic Woman . When the aristocrat refused her proposition she declared war on the other land."

"Two powerful sorceresses started the fight. White magic won the battle but lost the war. When Trea fell dead Turok and his daughters murdered all of the Celtic family except the children. The boy who was the elder, guarded his sister from the incoming spell thrown by the younger daughter of Trea. His power of love saved them both but the spell stole his human form. The evil family left them there to mourn."

"Trias lost his power with his sister's death. He escaped to a place called 'Blue Mountains'. Distraught, Turok blamed his eldest daughter for everything. The girl decided to go and live with her uncle but she had never been to the Blue Mountains before. During her voyage, she lost her memories…"

Master Dim-Dim stopped and looked at the frightened Bryn.
