I feel a warmth enveloping me, like if I was in a cocoon. Strangely moving seems complicated; my eyes won't open. Maybe if I scream for help, someone will help me.
I scream for help, but only the cries of a baby are coming out. What is going on? I hear footsteps coming closer, "Oh my baby, you're awake!", what is this language? I finally open my eye to meet a green pair of spheres. Her eyes are the colour of emeralds, and she has really dark hair. The woman takes me in her arms, and that's when I realize I am a baby!
I have to get out of here! Ness must be worried for me! The woman starts to rub my face with her fingers gently and sings a lullaby. She must be a Siren, singing in a forbidden language! If I had my voice, I could enhance her with her own spell. As I was thinking, I didn't realize I was slowly falling back into darkness.

"Valor, come! Selah wrote funny characters," squealed Etta. Can't that woman leave me alone? I'm trying to write to my love so he can help me.
"Madam, I'm sure our daughter only scribbled funny drawings," her husband retorqued. Oh! Pardon my 'funny drawings,' sir 'I am a scribble for the king.' Once upon a time, your people actually learned our divine language and used to cherish the realm of light.
"No, look! She wrote on the line, and her characters have similarities. It seems like it was just another language." Oops, maybe I should have been more careful?
I scribbled a bit under and over the line. There this should make it!
"Valor, our daughter, is one year old and knows the principles of writing. She must be a genius!" Well, thank you, mother, I guess.
After finally a whole year, my legs became strong enough to hold my body. I have to write to Ness so he'll be able to help me. I had quite some time to think about the situation.
I am stuck in The Land, a place situated between the Realm of Light and the Realm of Darkness. Their language is a derivative of the Sacred language spoken in the Realms. I still don't know much about The Land, and therefore I cannot determine where exactly I am.
From what I see around, I guess I am from a noble family, we have domestics, and the house is quite huge. I still don't know much about my parents, but from what I observe, Etta does not work. She administers the house and participates in a lot of caritative events. Then my father Valor he's the king's scribe. These two are madly in love, but they could only have one child considering the risk having me had on Etta's health.
Therefore I am the one and only child of the Viscount and viscountess, Selah Proserpina Marchetti.

It has been two years now that I have been living in this body, I still haven't been able to find a way back to my land or reach out to Ness. I don't know what happened to him, but I'm losing faith in seeing him again one day.
I'm depressing in my coffin, drinking my bottle of milk and thinking about the possibility that I'll never see my love again. I cannot escape considering the body I am in, but I can learn a lot of their language by listening. It is quite challenging, though, considering it's a derivative of the sacred language every time I just want to correct their pronunciation and reform their language!I pretend to fall asleep, and Etta eventually leaves the room. Finally alone! This woman who calls herself my mother never leaves my side, and I cannot write to Ness. I climb the cradle and go into my toy box to get the material I need.
I have managed to put my hand on some paper, a feather and some ink while escaping her a few days ago. I have been learning Saffom's language for two years now. I hope Ness will be able to decode the language because I misremember some characters of the sacred language.
"Selah, you're awake!" My soul left my body! She can't scare me like that! Can't she leave me in peace for a minute? As fast as I can with the toddler body I have, I hide the letter. But the witch takes it and starts to read it!
"Eh!" Is there no privacy in this house?
"Oh, how cute you're writing just like your father!" And then she leaves while talking about how much it is adorable.
