As Melania felt her breath synchronize with the rhythm of this new world, an endless valley unfolded before her. She stood on a stone precipice, gazing out over a vast expanse stretching to the horizon. The sky here was unlike any she had seen before; it lacked a definitive shape and instead resembled a kaleidoscope of endlessly shifting colors. The winds that swirled across the valley carried no scent of earth, only a chill that seemed to seep into the depths of her soul.
“You are already here,” said a voice, echoing from all directions, as though reverberating off invisible walls. A strange sense of familiarity washed over Melania. It was as though everything around her had been waiting for her arrival, as though every element in this reality had its own deep history.
She took a step forward, and her footsteps resonated in the silence that enveloped the valley. Suddenly, before her appeared a silhouette—not quite human, but something resembling a human, yet with unmistakable signs of another form of existence. The being was made of translucent glass, or perhaps water, so fluid it seemed almost alive. It approached her, its face hidden, veiled in mist.
“You have chosen the path,” the voice spoke, barely audible, yet Melania felt it deeply in her heart. “But this path does not lead to victory, nor to an end. It is a path with no conclusion, for you change yourself with every step you take.”
Melania studied the being closely, its movements so smooth and subtle, like water flowing over stones. She felt how she had changed herself, how her mind and body had now become a part of this place.
“I walk behind you,” the being said. “But are you ready to walk behind yourself? For only through yourself can you pass through every door that opens in this world.”
Melania felt her heart race. Her fingers touched the stone surface beside her, and suddenly, she saw changes. The walls of the valley began to tremble, as if the very space itself was transforming. The rocks and earth, once still, began to birth new forms, new images. This was the true magic of this world—to change the surroundings, reshaping them into something new, yet always retaining the depth of what was once there.
“You see,” the being said. “This is not just change. This is unity with everything. Everything you wish to change must become part of you; it must be intertwined with your heart and your essence.”
Melania felt her soul fill with new understanding. She couldn’t change this world from the outside unless she herself became part of these changes. Only by changing herself could she alter everything around her. The changes that began within her soul could transform the entire reality, reshaping it, returning it to the state she chose.
“Now I see,” she spoke, her gaze focused yet calm. “I will become part of this, and what I break or change will also become part of me.”
The being silently nodded, and the valley before her opened even wider. The stones became even more transparent, and the light filling it took on new forms, colors, and energies, unlike anything she had ever seen before. Melania knew the journey ahead would be difficult and unpredictable, but her resolve grew stronger. She was ready for the changes, ready to become the force that would transform everything around her without losing her essence.
“Are you ready?” the being asked.
Melania closed her eyes, feeling her heart beat in sync with the world, and took a step forward. With every movement she made, the space transformed, and with it, she herself. All the answers were here, within her, waiting for their time.
