The car ride was quiet. Neither Dante or Lucinda spoke, both lost in the confinements of their thoughts. The melodies from the radio were playing but they were not heard. Dante nor Lucinda listened to the music played, the voice of Johnathan Davis, lead singer of 'Korn' as he sings 'Freak on a Leash'. Dante had left it on the rock station ever since the game of tag he had with the police officers. He gazed back into the past, seeing the look of fear and excitement on ________'s face, in her eyes. It was fun to scare her, but really what he wanted to do was embrace her as they drove away from danger, from a possible jail sentence. He wanted to hold her tightly, hold her against his body, press his lips to her cheeks, her forehead. He wanted to do so much but there was no longer any time.

"How," Dante began, "how can we get her back home?"

Lucinda had been waiting for him to ask the question, knowing very well that he, to be honest, was not truthfully ready to let _______ go. The look in his eyes as he thought, driving being his second action. She saw him looking through the past, a smile on his lips even for that split second, then it was gone. His aura was low, meaning his spirits were low and his depression showing. He missed her, she could feel it, could feel the smile on his face. Although she could not see what another could, the auras around them give her the ability to see their figure, to see their emotions. It was a gift after losing her eyesight. Lucinda was silent for a moment as she thought about how Dante was feeling before she finally answered.

"There is a portal near, where she can envelope her power around her body and transport to another dimension. It is in a temple that has been hidden from humans, it is protected by magic. Earth was given it as a gift, but only the chosen ones had access to its powers. After the ancient times, it was no longer used by the Dimension-Enchanters. Now it is nothing more then an antique, but I'm certain that it still works."

"Dimension-Enchanters?" Dante asked with uncertainty.

Lucinda nodded. "______ is the lastest incarnation of a large family of Dimension-Enchanters."

When the door creaked open, you were startled. You were not asleep but you were so close to it that you were not fully aware that the creak was from the door, and someone had entered. You rubbed your eyes, hoping to grab back your focus.

"You have not eaten a crum from your plate."

Aeon stood at the side of your bed, staring at the very full plate of breakfast still laid on the night table. You frowned at his presence and looked away as his eyes traveled to yours.

"I'm not hungry."

Just then, your stomach decides to betray you, growling like that of a rawr from a lion. Your face flushed and you held onto your belly, thinking that maybe that would stop the noise, it didn't.

"Or is it that you just want to refuse my generosity?" You said nothing and he only stared at you with those golden ember eyes of his. You looked away once again, intimidated. Aeon only smiled. "Come, I'd like to show you something."

You looked back at him, slightly narrowing your eyes as he gestered his hand to you. Aeon didn't look to want to cause harm and his smile seemed so welcoming, but you were not so naive. Nevertheless, you stood from your position, laying your feet firmly on the hard wood floor. What was it that he wanted to show you? You couldn't ask the question. He dropped the hand back to his side, his smile not faltering although you had denied his help. He turned at his heel and walked at a slow pace towards the door, so he knew you would be able to catch up with him. You walked behind him without a word, not wanting to walk out of this room, but what choice did you have in the matter? Aeon opened the door, waving his hand for you to move before him. You were hesitant, but you went along into the long seemingly endless hall.

Aeon led you down the hall towards where...you did not know. You only walked behind him, silent as always with your hands folded in front of you. It was minutes that you already felt lost. You couldn't remember the way back, what hall you came from, what door your room resided in. Aeon though, was navigating through the maze as if his mind was just one big map, but all it is, is a good memory. Once you thought that this walk to Aeon's destination would never end, did Aeon stop in front of a pair of large doors. You starred upon them, trailing the length with your eyes. He pushed open the door with no effort whatsoever and entered. You took a step forward and stood out in the hall for a moment, gazing into the inside of a very large library.

Aeon looked back. "What's the matter? Please, come in."

You frowned but entered, looking around with curiousity. So many books. Did Aeon even read any of them? Aeon waited for you to join him before walking once again. You followed as he guiding you beside the tall bookcases. Most of the books were about history from what you could see. Finally, Aeon stopped between a row of the bookcases. He looked up and down at the shelves he stood in front of before turning to you.

"All these book you see around you is all about your kind. The Dimension-Enchanters."

"What?" you asked, confused.

"Like you, others had the power to travel dimensions. Every 100 years, a baby is chosen to be the next Dimension-Enchanter. They are given the power to see and travel other dimensions, rather then theirs. They are given a fate, and are chosen to have a purpose of how they will use their magic." Aeon pulled out a book from the lower shelf. He opened it to a page that had a black and white photo of a man in a white robe. "This was the Dimension-Enchanter before you." You gazed hard at the picture. The man was very handsome and looked a few years older then you. His dark hair was short, his bangs brushing over his eyes. The white robe covered his entire body. "This picture was taken a while ago. Some has said he had died, but I believe he still lives, in this dimension. A woman was the chosen one before him, she lived in another dimension. And now, in this lifetime...there is you." He gazed at you, with smile. "I knew there was another to be born, I looked everywhere in this world, but it seems you found me instead."

"I didn't choose to come here...I fell unconscious, and woke up here," you whispered and gazed down.

"The Dimension-Enchanter's power only activates at a certain age. Your curiosity was what brought you here. Your thoughts were turned into physical ability."

"I wouldn't have if I knew what would happen!" You burried your face in your hands and sank to the floor. "I want my life back...I want everything back to normal..."

Aeon kneeled down in front of you, dropping your hands and lifted your chin up. "Give me the chance, and I could make it happen." He smiled, brushing the tear that slipped from you eye. You starred into his without a blink. Those eyes, the color, they were so mesmerizing.

The possibility of him lying had slipped your mind.
