The Mind's Door
Reeks: The Doors of Despair
Cassandra Morphy
- Maya
- San
- Lucas
- had
- been
- lost
- in
- her
- dreamworld
- for
- the
- better
- part
- of
- five
- years.
- Desparia
- was
- just
- a
- fantasy
- world
- for
- her
- to
- explore
- during
- stretches
- of
- boredom
- at
- school
- and
- at
- home.
- Going
- to
- that
- world
- let
- her
- have
- adventures,
- exploring
- secret
- locations,
- and
- searching
- through
- towns
- and
- cities
- for
- loot
- to
- come
- away
- with.
- The
- life
- of
- a
- thief
- was
- so
- much
- more
- exciting
- than
- high
- school,
- especially
- with
- no
- friends
- to
- speak
- of.When
- she
- met
- the
- three
- women
- outside
- the
- tavern,
- everything
- changed.
- While
- she
- never
- seemed
- to
- have
- much
- control
- over
- her
- daydreamed
- world,
- her
- skills
- had
- always
- been
- there
- to
- help
- her
- through
- it.
- But
- as
- they
- gradually
- faded,
- Maya
- was
- forced
- to
- tag
- along
- with
- the
- group
- as
- they
- stormed
- the
- fortified
- home
- of
- the
- emperor.
- Their
- plan
- was
- to
- kill
- him,
- but
- Maya
- just
- wanted
- to
- make
- it
- out
- of
- there
- alive.
- Perhaps
- with
- a
- few
- items
- of
- worth
- along
- the
- way.
- After
- all,
- what
- was
- the
- point
- in
- breaking
- into
- a
- place
- without
- coming
- away
- with
- some
- loot?It
- all
- started
- so
- innocently,
- when
- Maya
- had
- first
- started
- going
- to
- Desparia.
- All
- she
- wanted
- out
- of
- life
- was
- not
- to
- be
- lost
- and
- alone
- as
- she
- started
- out
- in
- middle
- school.
- But
- when
- her
- father
- died
- unexpectedly,
- and
- her
- friends
- abandoned
- and
- ostracized
- her,
- the
- only
- way
- that
- she
- could
- turn
- was
- inward.
- Inward
- to
- the
- world
- just
- on
- the
- other
- side
- of
- her mind.
