Ricolda
watched with bated breath through her orbs as Rhea rolled from side to side on
the bed, as restless as restless could be. She was obviously troubled, her body
posture suggested it. She sat upright on the bed and in a few seconds after,
she began to sing. Ricolda watched in stunned silence, because even after she
had heard Rhea's voice more than once, she didn't seem to be able to get over
how it flowed seamlessly, and how it affected her at the same time. She
knew that the voice Rhea had was the only thing that would be able to free her
from the abyss she was trapped in. Her voice was magic, and she didn't even
know. When Rhea was born, Ricolda watched still. Rhea had fasci‐nated her since
she was born, her cries even had a singing tone to them. It was as though her
voice was specially made to sing and to heal. Ricolda didn't understand
at first, but she kept watching Rhea. She watched Rhea grow, wondering if
she made a mistake like she did before with Meira. But then, she didn't watch
Meira grow, it was just a few months of watching her. But Rhea on the other
hand, Ricolda had watched her grow, every step of the way. It was safe to say
that she was a little bit attached to the girl who sang whenever she was sad,
sang when‐ever she was happy too. Whenever she felt choked up with everything
and felt let down by life, she sang too. Ricolda watched her daily and got to
know the girl with the voice of an angel.
But Ricolda
was weary of being trapped, being unable to see anything except from when she
was banished into the abyss. So, she couldn't tell what they were doing, and
that irked her no end. She needed to know the next plan of action, but she was barred
from that whole century. She could only see beyond that. It was very irksome to
be in one place for over fifty years with nothing to do at all. Even her
orb refused to come on during those years in the 13th century. She was usually
in pitch black darkness and would literally prefer to die instead of the
torture
she was put
through. Since she could not die in the abyss, she bided her time and waited
patiently. After all, if she waited for all those hundreds of years, she would
definitely be able to wait a few decades. It wasn't as hard as she thought it'd
be anyway.
But Rhea was
definitely an interesting girl, what with the way she acted, the things she did
and how she reacted to every‐thing that came her way. She was indeed one type
of person to model after. It was safe to say that Ricolda was a little bit too
attached to Rhea, as she was her only source of entertainment in the abyss
where she resided. Rhea gave Ricolda something to look forward to in the
darkness of the abyss. It was an inter‐esting phenomenon when a magician of
Ricolda's caliber took afirm interest in a human girl. Actually, it wasn't just
a weird phenomenon as it did happen every now and then.
Ricolda was
going to get out of the abyss by any means necessary and Rhea was going to be just
the way she was going to do it .The game was on; Rhea vs Ricolda.
Who would
win in this game of wits and wills? Ricolda knew about Rhea right from the
moment she was born but Rhea was painfully unaware of Ricolda's existence.
Could the odds be evened? Or would Rhea live in perpetual ignorance of Ricolda
all her life?
Time was
ticking, and the rainstorm sent by Ricolda ravaged and tore through the little
town like it was made out of paper. The anger, the resentment, the pent-up
frustration of being in an abyss with nowhere to go to fuel her very agenda. It
was time to get to work, and Rhea must learn of her existence. It was the only
way, for Ricolda to be freed.
Time was
ticking, it always was.
Ricolda

The invisible superstar…
When Rhea Adams sings, the whole world stops to listen. A deeply private
person, who prefers solitude to stardom, Rhea slips in and out of the
spotlight, singing, then disappearing. Growing up, her difference had
attracted bullies. On stage, the unique power of her voice attracts
screaming audiences. But her voice has also attracted another kind of
attention. Trapped for centuries in an abyss of darkness, the ruthless
queen of the Isken tribe, Ricolda, has been unable to return to her own
time in the 13th century. But through a glowing blue orb, she can watch
Rhea. Is the beautiful singer Ricolda’s ticket to her own time, to her
army of giants, and her quest to rule all of Scotland?
A simpler time…
There’s magic—true magic—in Rhea’s voice. It’s the key that unlocks
Ricolda’s prison, freeing her to once again pursue her evil plans. When
Ricolda appears to Rhea, then steps through a mystical portal, Rhea is
compelled to follow her, into the past, into a place where there are no
screaming fans, a place where Rhea might find the peace she craves. But
nothing could prepare Rhea for Dahniell, a man who enraptures Rhea at
first sight. And Dahniell is equally entranced by her. But can Dahniell
and his village trust this beautiful stranger who consorts with the likes
of the dark magician, Ricolda?
No time for love…
Ricolda believes love is for the weak, and she is not weak. She plans to
be immortal. To conquer the world. That having power is greater than
having love. Can the beauty of Rhea’s singing, the power of its magic,
transform evil? Can Ricolda in fact be the saviour of the village, or will
the past and future collide, condemning them all to eternal
darkness?
