The idea behind Helena is unpredictable craziness. Every molecule in her body strives towards unpredictability, and one thing we can say for sure, is that Helena has made it an art form. But there’s more to her than meets the eye. Helena knows more than we, including herself, do.
Soon we’ll get to notice that there’s clarity, a deeper sense of purpose in her choices.
Her unique ability to communicate with Shadows, whether attached to a magician or in the spirit world, has frequently attracted a mixture of frown and fascination wherever she goes. Even the Master and his trusted Astronomers have been hunting her down for over two decades. So, it’s time to meet Helena and find out who she is at the start of the story.
Are you a magician?
No, silly! I am much more fun than that!
But are you from a magician’s family?
Oh, yes, both my parents are Dynamis magicians. But my Shadow ceremony didn’t go as expected so I never received my magical Shadow. But it doesn’t make a difference. I can talk to Shadows, all of them. I always could, even when I was a little girl. You wouldn’t believe how much Shadows love to gossip! The first Shadow I remember talking to is Father’s. He’s a good sort, you know.
But when it comes to magic… I have skills no magician has. I can see through all the illusions of all clans. I can hear the voice of magic guiding me. But I can’t use the magical light.
So are you not a magician then?
Of course not! I am a clairvoyant. For a long time, I was the only person the Master was afraid of. He tried to get rid of me when I was only a child. That’s why I’ve been hiding for so long. But he’s afraid of someone else too now.
Are you planning of getting out of your hideout?
Yes. I need to rescue the girl in the prison cell. She has very cool hair. Besides, we need to go and find the Ever Burning Fire of Nekros together. I can’t wait to meet her and plait her hair! This is going to be so much fun!
