The Ghost of a Dream

A princess, tormented by a flaw she believes has poisoned her entire life, seeks out a reclusive wizard and begs for a miracle to remake the part of herself she cannot bear. For a moment, she tastes the sweetness she always dreamed of until the dream curdles, and the life she wished for collapses into something far worse than the pain she tried to escape.

Desperate, she returns to the wizard demanding he undo what has been done, only to discover that the true source of her suffering was never his magic, but the wounds within her.
