Author's Notes: So here's the next chapter hope you like it!
(Later that Night...)
He knew it was dangerous to be down here without being summoned...
But Isaac Wormwood could not just stand by and watch an innocent girl die, while her son slowly descended into a world of madness!
No not anymore!
Isaac had left Lara's school after they spoke, quitting his job and started watching the family from afar as promised; but he was finding it harder and harder not to intervene. He couldn't just stand by and watch her die.
How! How could the oracle expect them to do nothing as a demon consumes yet another one of their precious guardians?
'It just isn't right!' Isaac thought to himself as he descended the stairs towards the Oracle's keep.
The Guardians of the Stars owned a castle in Eastern Europe, and in the low catacombs of the castle is where the Oracle's chamber lied. Of course Isaac's trip to Europe would have taken much longer if he was a normal mortal, but since he was a sorcerer teleportation came easy to him.
Isaac gets to the chamber door, and stops on instinct. You were not supposed to see the Oracle in less you were summoned by her, it was dangerous to do otherwise. He almost turned back on this thought, but forced himself forward; and opened the door. He had travel several miles over the course of mere seconds see her. A feat that was not so forgiving on a mortal's body, even one of his power: and he wasn't about to back down now.
"Who dares enter my Chamber's" a scratch voice rasped.
Isaac watched as an old hag appeared before him. "It is I, Mekhi." he answered.
"Aw yes Isaac." The Oracle Mekhi seemed to calm down. "I have been expecting you."
"Then you know why I have come." Isaac said, it was not a question; but a statement.
"It is not possible..." Mekhi said bluntly. "You cannot save her, nor can you spare the boy from his fate."
"Surely we can-" Isaac tried to argue.
"NO!" Mekhi screamed. "A life of hardship awaits thee, mother of demon spawn, child of the Aries Star. Thy beautiful defender will soon be forgotten. Her bright light doomed to be dimmed by a monster of the shadows. Her cry of death shall start a path of pure evil up on our Realm, destroying our hopes of peace for centuries to come."
"I know the prophecy!" Isaac yelled. "I have read it so many times that I know it by heart!"
"Then you also know that it cannot be changed." Mekhi said the obvious.
"But if we do nothing she will die!" Isaac yelled. "She will die, and her death will drive her son Will to madness! He's the one who will destroying our hopes of peace for centuries to come!"
"William's destiny is far greater than just spreading chaos!" Mekhi assured him. "One day he will be one of the most powerful beings in our Multiverse!"
"And that's a good thing?!" Isaac snapped. "He's a demon, a monster!"
"A monster that you will defend with your life!" Mekhi ordered.
"No never! I will not defend the enemy!" Isaac vowed, "If he goes full demon I will not hesitate to destroy him!" He said, turning to leave.
"Then we are all lost!" Mekhi whispered.
Isaac froze, "He is that important?"
Mekhi nodded. "Aries must die so that our true Guardian can be born in safety. Her death shall bring the end of the mixing of the demon and human worlds. And with the Nightmare Realm cut off from this world the last Star Child will be able to live in peace."
"And Will?" Isaac asked.
"He shall guide the last Star Child to his true destiny. Without William the Last Star Child will fall and all will be lost." Mekhi explained.
"There really is no other way is there?" Isaac asked realizing the truth.
"I'm afraid not." Mekhi said with a heavy sigh.
"I will protect him!" Isaac suddenly decided. "If it means the security of the Multiverse shall be restored then I will protect The Prince of Darkness!"
"See that you do!" The Oracle rasped her eyes glowing white. "For if you fail then the blood of every life of the Multiverse shall be on your hands."
Isaac shivered at her words, but he refused to let the fear consume him; he had a job to do! And he would protect the boy,
Even if it cost him his own life...
Chapter End Notes
Sorry for the short chapter guys but I had to bring Isaac back into the story somehow.
