XV. School… or not
It was the last day of the holydays. Kelly was in her Study. She was going over etiquette books when a shadow passed over her shoulders.
"My Queen, I have to inform you of a serious matter," Sapientes, her Advisor said.
"What is it?" Kelly asked curiously.
"I am afraid that you won't be going back to school…"
"WHAT?"
"You see, the three Ancients found their way to their father. Your life is in even more danger than before."
"Than what will happen? If I am in danger, what about the others?"
"We cannot save everyone. Many will die but you need to listen to reason. You need to be trained, so that you can fight in the incoming battle."
"What do you mean? Is there something I wasn't told, Sapientes?"
"A Great Seer told that a battle is coming. It will end all of our suffering, but only if the queen is ready. If not, we are doomed."
"Very well. What do I need to do?"
-3 days earlier -
In a cold and dark room, a woman stood. Her greyed hair fell over her shoulders. Her clothes were dirty and torn but she didn't look cold. The woman was in prison. She ended up in there because of her husband. She never betrayed the queen, but her husband did. Annabel Dumbledore was a seer and she swore her life to the Golden throne. Currently, she was waiting for a Councilman and he came.
"Young Hazar," she greeted him.
"Milady, you asked for me."
"Yes I did. I can feel that death will come for me and I need you to do me a favour."
Hazar didn't manage to say anything because at the same moment her eyes glazed over and she started speaking in much deeper voice.
A child born to defeat him,
With a power never seen before.
The child born as the last day of the seventh month dies
The one who has been marked by hate of the mother,
Needs to rise and take all the power,
For the last Battle is coming.
The traitor is near!
Be prepared!
The only way to save yourselves
Is to kill.
With those last words she fell dead on the floor.
Annabel's funeral was a day later. She was buried with honours. As the coffin was laid down, Insanis sang for a dear person whom she considered her mother, but who was now lost to her.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again.
Sometimes I wanna call you
but I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do
When she finished singing the song she had tears going down her face.
On the tomb was written:
Here lies Annabel Dumbledore,
a woman wrongly judged.
AN: The song is Christina Aguilera's "Hurt". Thanks for reading. This chapter is a little bit shorter than others but I will soon post the last one.
