The mission: Your story in Timisoara
Lela is a Parallelian from the Parallel City. A portal opened in 2002, when she was only 4 years old, trapping her on Earth.
After many years of relentless research, Lela finally discovered how she could reopen the portal and go home. But the portal opens once every 22 years, and she needs all the Parallelians living in Elisabetin gathered in one place.
There is only one mysterious Parallelian left to find. Fortunately, you are the best supernatural detective around and Lela's last hope!
