At first she didn't understand anything when she woke up. But looking around, she guessed that she was in the Circus Baby's pizzeria. At first Elizabeth thought that she had been reborn, but when she looked at her hands, the girl realized that this was not the case. She was still dead, but she was already a ghost.

- So there is an afterlife? - Elizabeth said to herself.

Looking at herself, the girl realized that she was still covered in blood. She wanted to look at herself, and the girl went to look for a mirror.

Elizabeth was a little horrified by her face. It was covered in blood, in numerous scratches, there was a bruise under the right eye, and the left was all red and bloody, in some places there was no skin, only meat, even part of the skull was visible on the chin.

- And Baby did all this? - Elizabeth asked herself again.

- Unfortunately, yes. - a woman's voice was heard from behind.

Elizabeth turned around.

- Princess Sofia? - the redhead recognized her immediately.

- That's right, my dear. And just call me Sofia. - the Goddess smiled.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm here to tell you all about the afterlife.

Elizabeth was interested.

- So, let me ask you... - Sophia paused. - What do you know about the afterlife?

- Well, there is heaven and hell in the afterlife, good people go to heaven, and bad people go to hell.

- That's not quite true, honey. There's something else. In fact, there is no heaven and hell. There is an afterlife in which everyone after death lives as well as the living. But there are people who have committed such terrible and numerous acts that the afterlife cannot let them in. That's why darkness appeared. This is the place where these people end up, where they stay forever. There is only darkness everywhere, and you will not meet anyone there. However, it happens that good people can get into this darkness. That person turned out to be you, Elizabeth. You fell into this darkness, but I pulled you out of there. Also, some souls can come down to earth and watch him, see what has changed. So can you, Elizabeth. But the problem is that the afterlife doesn't want to let you in.

- What?! - Elizabeth was surprised. - But don't you decide who gets in and who doesn't?

- No, I can't influence it in any way. Only the afterlife itself decides who to let in. And he was never wrong with his choices. I know that you didn't do anything wrong during your lifetime, so the afterlife doesn't let you in because of that. The reason is that trouble is coming. A calamity threatening the whole world. And not only ours, other worlds, Universes. This trouble needs to be stopped. And only you, Elizabeth, can stop it.

- Wait, but I do not know what to do... - Elizabeth began to panic.

- Don't worry, Lisa. I will help and always tell you what to do next. You and your friends are the ones who will save it. But others will also help you, because everyone will have to save the world. But that's still a long way off. To begin with, reincarnate into your usual form.

- Reincarnate? How?

- Very simple. Imagine yourself, only without wounds and blood, and you yourself will not notice how you will reincarnate.

Elizabeth did so. She imagined her normal appearance and smoke appeared around her for a couple of seconds. Then the smoke disappeared, and Elizabeth looked normal.

- That's better. - Sophia said.

- You said that the deceased can come down to earth and observe their relatives. I can do that too, right?

- If you want. - the Goddess smiled.

- Then right now! - Elizabeth grinned and went to the exit, but for some reason she bumped into some invisible wall, and the girl fell to the floor.

- What is it? - the ghost girl was perplexed.

Sofia helped her up and walked over to this invisible wall.

- That's what I was afraid of. - Sophia whispered.

- What is it?

- I guess the pizzeria doesn't want to let you go anywhere. People with special magic remain chained to the place where they died.

- What?! So I won't be able to see my family?! Friends? - Elizabeth was about to cry.

- Unfortunately, you can't. But if you want to get out of here, then you need to find the villain. Someone who has caused a lot of harm to others and neutralize him. Then the pizzeria will let you go, and you will get to the afterlife.

- And when will this villain come?

- Time will tell.

- Okay, but what should I do now?

- Now, since you are not allowed into the afterlife and the world of the living, you must have some kind of body. For example, the animatronic body.

- So I can possess Baby? - Elizabeth beamed with joy.

- Yes, but make a wise decision. There's only one body you can have, you can't change it anymore.

- So where's Baby? - Elizabeth already gone to look for robot.

- Hey, wait! - the Goddess hurried after the girl.

A little later, the girls found the robot. She was disconnected, but her blue eyes were glowing. Elizabeth walked up to the robot, took her hand, and then darkness appeared in front of her. But it was only for a couple of seconds. Then she opened her eyes again. Looking at herself, she realized that she was in Baby's body.

- Great! - the girl was delighted. - But what should I do next?

- Look around and get used to this place. And then everything will go by itself, in its own way. Just wait a bit. And if I need you, I'll come for you. - Sofia said, and the Goddess disappeared into thin air.

Now Baby is Elizabeth.
