The next day, Kida went to the pond to look at the pillars with the markings. The fireflies were flying around her illuminated the pillar that she was touching gently. 'If only I could understand this writing', she thought. She had no idea what the symbols meant, and she only prayed to the gods that she will be able to understand these symbols and what they meant. She was lost in her own thoughts that she did not notice Jonek until he called out from behind her.

"Kida!"

She turned around and saw her beloved. She instantly ran into his arms and stayed there for what seemed forever.

He finally let go of her, "I heard your father is going to throw some sort of festivity at the palace."

Kida lowered her head, "Yes, my father wants me to marry already."

Jonek grabbed her by the shoulders so she could look at him, "With someone that is rich and with some sort of power. Someone who could help the city in finding more food that will last us for a few more centuries."

"You are a warrior. I know you, Jonek. You have great skill that will help you become captain just like your father."

Jonek stayed silent for a moment, "Your father does not want a captain. He wants a king."

Kida grabbed his hand, and started to lead him away.

"You should go now and talk to my father."

He stopped her, "Talking is not going to work Kida. He is not going to listen to a nobody like me!"

He turned away from her direction. He needed time to think about this conflict. He then started to hear Kida sobbing, "You do not love me then."

He faced her again and wiped the tears off her face, "Of course I love you, but we are facing a difficult situation. Kida, never doubt my love for you."

He slowly leaned his face closely to hers and gave her a passionate kiss. They kissed for a long time, the kiss growing more passionate and their bodies hungered for more.

Kida broke the kiss catching her breath she asked him, "So you will not be at the gathering?"

"I wish I could be there, but I am not allowed. The guards would throw me out as soon as I walk in," he whispered.

"I wish you would be there as well. I will feel so alone," Kida murmured.

"Your father will be there, and there will also be a many suitors wanting to grab your attention," Jonek commented.

"There are not you," Kida murmured. "And no one grabs my attention like you."

Jonek smiled, "What if we meet after the ceremony?"

"Yes, I would like to see you and tell you everything that happened," she caressed his face.

"I hope you do not show any interest to anyone," he chuckled.

She smiled, "Of course not."

Jonek smiled at her. Kida loved his smile. It would make his eyes glow very bright.

"I want us to be wedded," Kida said as she gave him a kiss.

After the kiss, Jonek left. Kida insisted that he would stay and swim with her to see the murals, but he had a strong fear of the water since the mehbelmoak. She went swimming on her own, admiring the beauty of the murals. Jonek did not know what he was missing. She wished that he could experience this moment with her.

When she arrived at the palace, Jani was in her room.

She was relieved to see her, "There you are child! Where have you been?"

"I went for a swim," Kida said as he grabbed a hairbrush to brush her wet hair.

"Are you excited for the feast?"

Kida did not respond.

"Oh, Kida. You must understand that you are not a child anymore. You must marry someone," Jani said as she closed the curtains of her balcony.

"But I want to marry for love, Jani," she smiled.

"Love comes eventually. After the children are-,"

"No, it comes before," Kida interrupted.

"Kida, I am just warning you. We know your father too well. He is a very stubborn man, so listen to me. You better choose someone and quick, because if you do not then he will," Jani turned off the lights and closed the door. Not another word was said. Kida suddenly grew quite worried.

.a.

She had trouble going to sleep. She was tossing and turning because all she could think about was what Jani had said. After an hour of lying awake in bed, she decided to go and take a walk outside the palace. As she was walking to the throne room, the words that Jani had said still seemed to echo in her head.

'You better choose someone…if you do not then he will.'

Was her father that desperate? Did he really want for her to take the throne and continue the line of royal heirs? She was not sure of his decisions. Her father was a confusing man; she wish that she could understand him better.

As she entered the throne room she just kept looking at the throne. She could not help but feel afraid. She was afraid of becoming queen. She was not ready to be queen, and she did not want to be.

The only thing she wanted was Jonek. To marry him and have children.

As she was staring at the throne, she heard several soft footsteps coming into the throne room.

"Kida? Why are you not asleep?"

She turned around and saw both Samie and Leena. Both were sisters that worked in the palace, and they were her closest friends.

"I could not sleep," She murmured to Samie.

Leena asked, "Is it about that feast that is tomorrow?"

Kida simply nodded.

Samie gently hugged her, "That is nothing to be nervous about. It is a step towards marriage, it is not like if it was the mehbelmoak."

"I want to marry Jonek," Kida whispered.

"I know you do," Samie said. "You are very happy with him, but he is probably not the one that you might marry."

Kida glared at her.

"Perhaps we should also take her tonight to see her," Leena commented.

Kida asked, "See who?"

Samie pressed her lips, "The seer. She is doing a free reading to any girl who goes to see her tonight."

Kida gasped, "Father said I should not talk to that old woman."

"Well we are curious about our futures-,"

"Who we are going to marry," Leena smiled dreamily and Samie gave her a mean look.

"And well that is why we decided to sneak out of the palace. We were just curious," Samie confessed.

Kida couldn't help, but become curious as well. Maybe this woman will tell her if she will marry Jonek.

"No, I will go with you as well. I want to know."

Samie and Leena smiled and the three of them made their way to the seer's dwelling.

It was a small home. Any atlantean would look at the home, and think that no one is living there. It looked old and abandoned with plants surrounding the entire home. The seer obviously did not care on what her house looked like.

There were a few girls waiting outside in front of her dwelling. As soon as they arrived they stared at Kida and started whispering. Every time Kida went somewhere heads would turn and people would start whispering. It was a nuisance, but she was used to it by now.

After waiting for a few minutes, a young woman came out. The girls that were waiting with Samie, Leena, and Kida became very excited.

"It is like she can read your thoughts! She does have a gift," she left with a very astonished and excited look in her face.

Kida was not sure to believe the seer. In Atlantis, she was very popular. According to those who have seen her have confirmed that her fortunes are true. There were a few people in this city that do not start their day without a fortune from the seer first. Those people, Kida believed, were very crazy to depend their life on someone else.

Before she knew it all the young girls who were waiting first were all done. The last one came out with an upset look in her face, and then it was their turn. Samie, Leena, and Kida all agreed to receive their fortunes together since it was their first time and they were nervous.

Kida noticed that as they walked in there were still many plants in the house, most of them were for medicinal. Other than a prophet, she was also a healer of the body and of the spirit. There were also many lit candles that made the room very bright.

They quickly heard a voice, "Come in!"

The seer was sitting in the floor with a table in front of her. She was a very old woman with wrinkles all over her body. She had long white hair, and grey eyes. Her dress was a long, pale blue gown. As she smiled, Kida noticed that she only had one tooth.

"I already had three pillows ready for you. I knew the princess would come see me tonight. I am glad that you did."

The three of them sat on the red pillows that face the old woman.

"Great seer. We would like to know our fortunes if you would be so kind," Samie spoke for them.

"Of course! This is why I made the word spread around town that tonight I will have free readings. Tonight, you are destined to know your fortunes," she smiled. "And please call me Chelahk. From now on, we are friends."

"Very well, Chelahk," Samie smiled back.

"Let us begin with you kind lady. Give me your hand."

Samie offered her hand, and the seer instantly grabbed it. She simply just held it with both of her hands, and closed her eyes.

"You will be very happy. You will be surrounded by family at all times who give you unconditional love, mostly from your sister," Samie smiled at Leena.

"You are a hard-worker. This will not change, but you will have a better future with your work and your home," the seer then stayed quiet for a long moment. Kids could tell she was struggling for some reason.

The seer opened her eyes and looked at Samie directly in the eyes. Samie was too intimidated by her stare to blink or look away, she just stared back.

"Love is unknown," she murmured.

Leena quickly asked, "What does that mean?"

"I can not get a good fortune regarding love," she said.

Samie was concerned, "I will not marry?"

"You will marry. I can tell that you will have a good marriage, but I can not see anything more. Even if I could see who you will marry I could not tell you the name, it is a strict rule. Do not worry dear, your love life is strong. You will be very happy and in love. This happiness is as sweet as a delicate fruit you eat."

Samie smiled, "Pagesheshnen, Chelahk"

"You are welcome, child" she then turned to Leena. "Your turn young one!"

Leena quickly offered her hand. Kida noticed she was very excited.

Her prediction came quickly, "You will be a wonderful mother. Your home will be a big family with many children."

Leena smiled, but the seer continued.

"You will suffer a lot when it comes to love. Your husband is the one destined for you and he will be tremendously in love with you. Though, you will suffer a lot from the mistakes he will make but you should not blame him for them. You must learn to be forgiving to the ones you love. It is a strong love, so have faith."

Leena seemed more curious, "What is his name?"

The seer shook her head, "I told your sister that I can not say. He is a great man. Nothing more can be said."

"Pagesheshnen, Chelahk," Leena smiled. Kida could tell that she was a bit dissapointed. Leena was always an impatient woman.

"The best fortune for last," the seer smiled. "Give me your hand."

Kida hesitated at first, but then offered it to her.

The seer smiled, "You will be a great ruler. Even greater than your own father."

Kida was somewhat relieved to hear about was not interested in becoming queen, but she knew that she is going to be one whether she wanted to or not. Hearing from someone that will be good at being queen was good to hear.

"Your mind is a curious one. It is filled with so many questions. Do not worry, one day they will all be answered," the seer stayed silent for a long while just like she did with Samie.

"Love is unknown. Just like Samie, I do not know who you will marry."

Kida was upset. She wanted to know if she was going to marry Jonek.

"What?"

"Just like me," Samie murmured.

"What I do know is that you should be careful in the next public event," the seer continued. "Danger is lurking and you should not pay any attention to any suitor for one of them only wants your throne."

"Goodness," Leena whispered.

She was getting impatient with the seer, "But will I marry Jonek?"

"I cannot say," the seer shook her head.

Kida raised her voice to her, "Tell me!"

The seer exhaled a deep breath, "It is unknown! When I mean it is unknown it means that I cannot see the man you will marry!"

The princess grew quiet, "Anything else?"

"You will soon face a loss."

Kida gasped, "Tabhtoap?"

"I do not know. In regards to death, I cannot see very well."

She was now worried about her father. His health was deteriorating, but she was not ready for him to die. If only this woman could tell her more!

She looked at Chelahk sternly, "Thank you, old seer."

"My name is Chelahk." she commented as she stood up and was already leaving.

.a.

"She was of no help!"

The three young women were walking back to the palace.

"You must have faith, Kida," Samie assured her. "Maybe Jonek will be the man you will marry. I heard that sometimes her predictions are vague but true."

"I thought she was lovely," Leena commented.

Kida thought that this woman would probably help her clear her problems, but she has made them worse. Now she was also worried about her father, and of his health problems. She did not want him to die.

When they arrived at the palace, Kida went back to bed. The tossing and turning continued, and she did not sleep at all that night.

What will happen at the feast?

Who will Kida lose?
