Fates Align~ Book Nine

Chapter 13~ Decisions

Lucinda revealed her true form. She took off her cloak and stepped forward into the moonlight. 

She had on a white flowey gown and short platinum blonde hair that just barely touched her shoulders. She was thin with white flowers in her hair. She had two different colored eyes as well~ one gold and the other green. Paired with round glasses with a grey rim.

"So... you reveal your true face."

"Your right... Zeke might be innocent. But his mother isn't~ therefore he has to pay for his mother's sins."

"No, he doesn't! He wasn't even born yet and he's already sentenced to death. How is that fair?"

"LIFE ISN'T FAIR! Roman loved me... but she destroyed that. After that, he left me... someone has to pay and that person is her."

"Please don't do this. She might have to pay but not him~

"Fine... if you can get your father to meet me. Then I will lift the curse on Zeke and Stella."

Loralei sighed in relief but then she remembered... Roman left them after the battle. He hasn't been seen since. 

* There has to be another way... a loophole or something that I'm missing. I can't get my father to come here but if I don't... then Zeke and his mom will die.*

"I will give you until dawn to decide."

As she walked away Loralei fell to her knees. She took a deep breath and said, 

"Ok think... what am I missing... wait."

Loralei began collecting different plants and flowers. She started crushing them up and spread them out in a circle around her. She sat on her knees.

Once she opened her eyes, they were glowing a bright red. She began chanting a summoning spell. The flower petals around her began twirling into a spiral. Two figures began showing up in front of her...

"Who are you?"

"It worked... IT WORKED YES!"

Loralei said to the blonde woman sitting in front of her. Beside her was another woman with red hair. 

"Well I never thought I would be back to this garden as a ghost... this is so cool right Enchanted!"

The blonde woman said to the other ghost sitting next to her. The other ghost said,

"I mean it was bound to happen someday, Tori."

They both look at Loralei and stare at her. Loralei said,

"Wow... Queen Enchanted and General Tori."

She bowed before them and Tori laughed.

"I-I don't understand what's so funny~"

"You summoned us... so we are here to help you. You don't need to bow were dead!"

Loralei had done a summoning spell, this sell can summon spirits mainly for communication. The spirits can't touch anything but they can supply their power to the summoner.

"I need your help."

Loralei said as she explained the entire story to them. Their eyed widened as Tori said,

"Damn Stella and Lord had a kid?! MY SON HAD A CHILD WITH APPLE?! Wait... so you're my granddaughter..."

Loralei: "Yes... hi Grandma."

Tori: "Wow I have a grandchild~ and I'm already dead."

Enchanted: "Well that makes sense of why you summoned us."

Tori: "Oh I never thought about that..."

The thing about the summoning spell was that you could only summon your ancestors. Someone from your bloodline.

Enchanted: "So what exactly do you need our help for?"

Loralei: "Well... I need to know if there is a way to take away the curse on Zeke and his Mom..."
