There are those among us that believe our world is but one of many. Those different worlds exist in a space and time, other than our own. An infinite number of realms in which, many strange and wonderful things exist! One look into these other realms and you quickly realize that some doors are better left unopened for they lead to a land of magic. A land of wonder. A land of danger! Susie's curiosity was to blame for getting her into trouble, more times than her mother could count. Susie was a natural-born detective. Not a day went by that she wasn't trying to solve a mystery of one sort or another. It was one such day that changed Susie's life forever. It was her overpowering quest for knowledge that thrust Susie into a life and death struggle against the dark forces that live between realms.

Deep within each of us is the need to know. This quest for knowledge, our curiosity, is part of what makes us human. Like small children on Christmas Eve, trying to peek at the presents under the tree. The thought of the unknown can be a powerful force! After all, it is curiosity, which drives us to discover new things such as medicines or new tools and gadgets to assist us in our daily lives. It is an overwhelming desire to learn about the world in which we live. This curiosity is stronger in some people than in others. If left unchecked, it can also lead us into trouble. And so it was with Susie. Susie was now safely back in her own realm, however no matter how hard she tried to fit in or to make new friends, she always felt like an outsider. Like she was on the outside looking in. To spite her best efforts, Susie seemed to be out of touch. Now, even her dreams where being invaded by the battles she was forced to fight and the thoughts of her friends left behind in the other realm. She tried repeatedly to use the necklace to contact Willow, with no result. She went back to the lake where it all began, but the doorway was nowhere to be found. Just as Susie was starting to give up hope on ever getting the answers she so desperately needed, she is once again thrown back into the battle of good over evil.
