The Prophesied Elemental

Ch. 3 - Tour Guide

Daniel POV

'Wake up dear' ignoring the voice I turned and covered my face with the blanket.

'Wakeup boy!!'

That got me out of bed, opening my eyes I found the source.

'I thought I told you to leave.'

'No can't do we have a lot to talk about '

'That can wait till I wake up'

'No, it has to be now' no sooner had she said those words the comforter was moved from my body.

'Come on can't it wait!' I groaned at her.

'No.' She said flatly.

Sighing I sat on the bed rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

'Start talking and stop staring.'

'You are awfully too young for the burden you have been chosen to carry.' She said looking at me but her eyes had a distant look.

'Erm.. are you not like in my age group to be talking like an old lady'

'Hahaha, look is very deceitful, I am a very very old woman. I have seen this kingdom through many kings and queens,this is how I choose to appear.'

'O...okay, so.. if this is how you choose to appear, your real form is a book right?'

'No, I was never a book, that scum bag seeing that he had lost everything he did that to me' she said bitterly.

'Who?'

She looked at me and sighed 'there is a lot you must know with little time, where do I start from.'

'Well you can start from how you became a book and why you choose me?'

' That's  a good start but I never choose you, fate only showed you to me. See, long time ago, this kingdom was a rich and flourishing one. We had the royals, there where kind and both king and queen could control all four elements. They ruled with firm but soft hands, but not everyone loves what is good. The king's brother Thorn wanted the throne at all cost, he would cause confusion, insight the people against their king. Yet the king failed to see the greed that was growing in his brothers heart.

His wife was scared of her life and children she begged the king to kill him but he couldn't. Seeing his brothers weakness Thomas struck the palace one evening killing everyone on his way.'

'Including the King?' I had to ask.

'Sadly yes'

It's sad what greed can make people do, he should have listened to his wife and killed him, but I guess it would be hard to kill your own blood. Thank goodness I never had a sibling. Remembering she said something about his wife and kids.

'What of his family' I asked curious to know what became of them.

'He never caught them, apparently the queen knew of his plan so she had left a day before it happened.'

'And she left her husband?'

'Don't you think it would be suspicious for the king to disappear?'

'True but how did she know?'

'she could see the future, Thomas never gave up on his search for her. He had sworn to end his brother's bloodline, sadly years later he found her.'

I waited for a minute but she didn't continue.

'How, didn't she see it to avoid it?'

'She saw it, but there was nothing she could do, the only thing she could do was to send her children to the human world in care of a friend.'
