I sat on a glowing white bench in the middle of a large courtyard. Flowers of every kind were planted all around and I could see the sun shining from behind a few clouds. It seemed peaceful here. Yet the sound of rushing footsteps gave me the impression that something was wrong.

Suddenly the doors burst opened to reveal a young woman, probably around age eighteen or nineteen. She was wearing a long flowing pale blue dress with white lace on the corset area. She looked at me with wide eyes before shutting the doors she came through and locking them.

"I'm sorry for this!" She exclaimed. Before hurriedly adding "But I need to know do you accept your destiny?" I just stared down at my feet. My mother told it to me a few years ago, when I turned ten.

Now four years later I'm asked to accept it?

"I thought I had until I was eighteen to do this?" I muttered, the girl quickly glanced at the doors before turning back to me

"Normally yes. But right now I need you to say you accept it!" She begged. I felt a little guilt as I thought of denying her request. So I took a large breath before nodding

"I accept."

As soon as I spoke the doors burst open to a woman walking in flames. But before she could reach me and the girl, a flash of light separated us and her figure seemed to melt away.
