That night, Aria lay on her bed, thinking about everything that had happened during the day.
Suddenly, she saw an old woman – but she wasn't human, she was a spirit. Her name was unknown.
Aria felt a little scared. She asked,
"Who are you?"
The old woman replied, "Why are you afraid? Am I that bad?"
Aria said, "Oh, so you're a spirit, not something evil. Okay, that's good. But why are you here?"
"I came to warn you," said the old woman.
"Warn me? Warn me about what?" Aria asked curiously.
The old woman smiled gently,
"When you turn sixteen, you will see a black shadow around you."
"Why?" Aria asked, surprised.
The old woman said, "Because only you have the power to see spirits. But your friend will also be able to see that black shadow."
"There is a great responsibility on your shoulders. Remember, the lives of thousands of people depend on you now. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be terrible."
The next morning at school, Aria told everything to Kai. Kai said,
"So, it looks like a big adventure is waiting for us!"
Aria nodded, "Hmm, it seems so… But I feel there's something more behind all this that we don't know yet."
Kai spoke softly, "Then we have to find out that secret…"
Aria smiled quietly and thought to herself – "We're not just ordinary teenagers. Maybe an unknown mystery is waiting just for us."
