CHAPTER 106

"They want us to move, oneesan." Audrey whispered to Hisoka as they glided down a dirt path towards a large home.

"I know it will be safer for my daughter, but…I…I am just so tired of them controlling everything. They say I am important for this war and they won't even let me fight it."

"I know, Ayla." Hisoka replied, looking around. "But one must be careful, times are terrible…the things that I saw in Osaka."

"Far worse than England, I assume?" Audrey asked, looking at her mentor.

She nodded.

"But England is not so far away from such crimes."

A gust of wind blew through the hills, Audrey shivered.

Halkirk gave Audrey a strange feeling.

Late in the evening, after Hisoka and I had finished performing, I snuck out of Mr. Blaine's home and set off. I hadn't a clue where I was going, but I could have sworn that I heard the wind was calling my name.

After a few minutes of walking, the wind became more intense. She could hear her name in the gusts.

"Audrey, Audrey, Audrey…"

She set off into a run.

It had felt so good to run again, after being inside for a long, long time. My legs had taken well to it; despite my retirement from dance they were as strong as ever.

I am not quite sure how long I ran, it seemed to be ages and no time at all.

The darkness was consuming me, but there was a tiny light in the distance.

The wind seemed to be taking Audrey towards the light. She sped up; a small cottage was coming into sight. Outside, under the light, stood a small elderly woman with a black shawl and black head scarf.

Audrey skidded to a halt just a few feet away.

"It's alrigh' dear." Said the woman. "I saw ye' comin' from miles and miles away."

Audrey fastened her cloak.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Grizelda Reid, and I am a Seer of the Northern Alliance."

The Northern Alliance was a group similar to the Order of the Phoenix. It was lead by a half blood wizard named Alistair Donoghue. The group had the same ideals as the Order, but were most likely less controlling and manipulative. They were solely half-blood, muggle born wizards and all sorts of creatures. They were a larger alliance, but much more spread out.

"And you are Audrey Black." Grizelda said with a small smile. "Of the great Ivanoff-Dalio family, you come from so far away…Won't you come in and have some tea?"

Audrey obliged, after all, she couldn't be seen outdoors…even if it were in a deserted part of Scotland.

Having a mother and grandmother who possessed the sight, as well as personally being jaded, this did not surprise me.

After all, I had fame among the magical world for all sorts of reasons now.

I was a concert cellist, a combatant, a Russian spy, and a threat to humanity. Only two of those being truths, of course.

It was the typical home of a seer, everything was dim and foggy from incense.

"My mother had the gift as well." Audrey said, trying to strike conversation as the woman bustled around her home.

"Yes, I saw that. Banshees are extremely gifted when it comes to the sight. Your father didn't seem to believe in it much, what a shame…"

"Why do you say that?" Audrey asked.

"Your mother saw a lot coming, but he chose to ignore quite a bit…"

Audrey shivered.

"She saw them invading…" The woman stopped in her tracks. "Oh!" She cried. "Those poor families…all of those creatures…"

She saw the attacks on our colony…that felt like such a distant memory.

"You poor child." Grizelda said, sitting across from her and watching her intently. "You have seen and survived so much…and only twenty years on this earth."

With all that I have been through, I felt as though I were a century old.

"It is what it is." Audrey sighed, stirring her tea by flicking her finger.

"The Dark Lord, he has been out to ruin your life for years now…" Grizelda said. "I feel such a heavy sadness around you…he has caused you so much pain."

Audrey nodded, taking a sip from her cup.

"Has the Northern Alliance heard of the prophet Sybyll's prediction?"

"Aye." She replied. "She is not the only one who has seen that a boy will bring down the Dark Lord, but it is not only the child. It is you." Grizelda replied.

"Surely it is not." Audrey replied. "He only wants me for destruction, but I couldn't…"

"Exactly." Grizelda replied. "Your resistance will be as strong to the very end."

"The very end…?"

"Oh, it is getting late, dear." Grizelda said, looking at the time. "You should get back to your mentor."

I knew better than to question a seer…but what did she mean by the very end?

"Thank you for having me." Audrey gave a small bow.

"Of course, dearie." Grizelda replied, waving her hand. "Safe travels, and watch out for that man!"

Audrey's head snapped back.

"What man?"

Grizelda began to shake violently, her voice deepened.

"He is coming…" She said, with a deep, uncharacteristic voice.

"Grizelda?" Audrey approached the woman.

"HE IS COMING." She was shaking so badly that Audrey worried she was going to fall over.

"When?" Audrey asked the Seer.

"ALL HALLOWS EVE…he will destroy everything held dear. Only two will survive...secrets will be revealed before the final sleep."

Grizelda seemed to be calming down, tears filled her eyes.

"Oh, dear…it's horrible…so horrible…war…destruction…death, nothing but death…" She shook with sadness.

Audrey watched the woman, she was cautious.

"HE WILL FALL…" She said, her voice changing to the low, uncharacteristic voice.

"HE WILL FALL AFTER THE CONTROLLER OF THE EARTH LEAVES THIS LIFE AND WILL BE DEFEATED BY THE POWER OF A MOTHER'S LOVE. INNOCENCE WILL BE TAKEN, AND HIS FOLLOWERS SHALL RUN FREE."

I ran.

And I didn't look back.
