The Land Of The SpiritsUpdated at Jan 9, 2026, 03:12
Nessa swore one clear oath - she would come back for the single person who meant everything.
She and Michael, both more than human, crossed into the Land of the Spirit, a place wedged between living and dying. The trip shattered - Michael stayed imprisoned and the realm flung Nessa back to earth scrubbing every memory of him.
Scraps of that life now torment her - she cannot seize them, only glimpse them. To start over she enrolls in a remote, quiet school. There she meets Felix - easy to like, hard to read plus oddly recognizable. Day by day their friendship tightens and with it pieces of the past float up - Michael's face, the echo of the spirit land, the promise she once bound herself to honor.
The mood darkens when she is introduced to Felix's father, Mr. Grey. His stare lasts too long and his quiet carries too much weight. He knows her. He carries the memories that were lifted from her mind.
He alone can open the gate to what she has lost - or raze every bridge behind her.
Hours drain away but also the border between the two worlds thins - nessa has to learn the full story before the spirits sound their summons, because if they come for her again she might never be allowed to return.
