Fate has always been very active. From daily exercise, helping at school and around town with sports, cleaning, and just helping people. She is well known throughout her city along the coast.
It was a normal Sunday for her, after helping out with odd jobs around the city, she decides to go for a swim as her daily afternoon exercise. One of her favorite ways to exercise is to swim and dive in the ocean that is near her house and school. It would be this day that would forever change her life.
Near one side of the beach is a tall cliff that people use as a scenic viewing area. Fate was diving near this cliff when she sees a large overhanging rock fall from the cliff side. It makes a large splash as it hits the water and sinks to the bottom. Once she was sure that it was safe, she dives to where the rock sank, her curiosity getting the better of her.
From a safe distance, she sees that the rock had done some damage where it hit the bottom of the ocean there. She swims towards the rock when she notices something. The rock's fall had opened up what looks like a small cave. Fate checks the opening and it does seem to lead somewhere and that she should be able to fit through it. She goes up for some air and thinks about whether or not she should try to take it. She takes a long breath and dives to the entrance of the cave.
Squeezing through the tunnel, she finds that it goes straight up. She sees light just a little bit further up and she heads for it. She breaks the surface and gasps for air. After catching her breath, she looks around and finds herself in the middle of a decent sized opening with the pool that she was in on one side and some land on the other. Heading for the land, she gets out of the water and looks around some more. There is light seeping in through some cracks in the walls, but it is still dark so it takes a minute or two for her eyes to adjust. Once they do, she finds herself staring at something that is placed in the center of the land in this enclosed area.
A weathered wooden chest was just sitting there. Seeing it, she gets a little excited.
Fate: A....chest!?......A chest hidden in a secret cave that was inside a cliff.....Could there be some sort of treasure inside? No....no. Don't get your hopes up. It is probably empty.....
She kneels in front of the chest and opens it to her surprise, the inside was in pristine condition. There was a luxurious big dark red pillow and a very weird looking book was resting on it. The book was solid black with weird etchings and symbols on it.
Fate reaches for the book.....SEE FIRST PAGE!
She is....stunned....to say the least. No way could this be real, she thinks.....and yet....that twinge of doubt was pulling at the back of her mind....what....what if this is real?
Fate: I-it cant be.....A magic book that will grant any wish to only me!? But....this place....it was hidden away and I've never heard of a cave in this cliff.....m-maybe it wouldn't hurt to try it.....
