A young witch finds an ancient book whose pages are filled with new spells every morning. But with each new spell, she loses some of her memories. One day a spell appears in the book that promises to give her back her lost memories, but the price is incredibly high.
When Alina found an old book on the shelf of an antique shop, her attention was immediately drawn to its emptiness. The pages were clean, as if they had just been written, but it was a feeling that spurred her curiosity. There was no title on the spine, and the cover had only the worn marks of ancient symbols. She felt a magical aura emanating from the volume and couldn't resist the temptation to take it home.
The next morning, Alina found that a spell had appeared on the first page. It was in her handwriting, even though she hadn't written anything. The words seemed to appear on the paper, and they were surprisingly powerful. The witch's curiosity was piqued, and she decided to use the spell.
But something had changed. She couldn't remember what she had done the night before. At first Alina thought it was a fluke, but every morning when a new spell appeared in the book, her memory gradually weakened. What had seemed like a gift at first had turned into a curse.
Alina realized that with each new page of the book she was losing something important - moments of her life, memories of her friends, childhood memories, and even the knowledge she had acquired during her magical practice. She tried to put the book away, but the magic contained within its pages seemed to call her back. The spells were too powerful to give up.
Now she no longer remembered where she had found the book. Her life seemed to be falling apart, as if her consciousness was gradually being erased. Each new spell brought strength, but in return it took away another part of her personality.
One morning she opened the book and saw that there was a new spell on the page. But this time it was special. This spell promised to bring back all her lost memories, her whole life. It promised to bring back her past. But there was one condition - she had to pay a price that would outweigh all her losses.
The spell looked simple, but with each word, doubt grew in her mind. What price would she have to pay? She felt that this spell was the last page of her book, her only chance to regain everything she had lost. But the price was mysterious, and deep down she knew it would not be an easy payment.
The days passed, and every time Alina looked at the book, the temptation grew stronger. She felt that time was playing against her, and if she didn't use this spell, her memory would be erased forever. A battle was brewing inside her between the desire to get herself back and the fear of the unknown cost.
Finally, one night, when darkness enveloped her home, she made up her mind. The words she spoke filled the room with the whisper of ancient powers. In an instant, her memory returned - every moment, every lost memory. She remembered everything she had lost.
But when she looked in the mirror, her face changed. Her eyes became empty, like those whose souls have been sold to the dark forces. Her identity no longer belonged to her - she had paid her soul to get her memory back. And the book remained empty again, ready to inscribe new spells for the next owner.
