Finding The Seeress was a difficult task. The servants would travel to every land they encountered, question every villager, and then leave without learning the whereabouts of Nova. She was described as being charming and alluring, with piercing magenta eyes, jet black braided hair and wearing gold jewellery and a hooded magenta robe. The villagers would come to investigate after seeing her frequently emerge out of nowhere while concealed in a tent, where they would later treasure their unique discovery. Was The Seeress truly so powerful? The servants wondered as the villagers' witnessing became rather overwhelming. Though they were on the verge of giving up, their lives were on the line, so they couldn't return to the kingdom empty handed. They rode their stallions and carriage to a village at the edge of the map near the crashing waves of the ocean just before sunset. They checked the buildings and the pathways in search of the tent that the villagers had mentioned belonging to Nova, but it was nowhere to be found. A faint shimmering sound resonated through the shrubs and trees as they prepared to leave. They throttled quietly and peered through the trees where they discovered a magenta cloaked individual using magic to fold up a tent with black curtains and gold trim; it was The Seeress . They had expected a crowd of villagers to still be lingering around as she packed, but she was oddly by herself. Without hesitation, they emerged from the bushes and approached Nova.

A servant in the first line of stallions jumped off and said, "Pardon me, my seeress," kneeling down formally. "I apologise for the interruption, but you are cordially invited by our king to demonstrate your fortune-telling skills as we are aware of your astounding performance. "

Nova scowled at them, instilling terror in the servants' eyes with her vivid magenta eyes. They had the crest of the distinguished kingdom embedded on their armour, according to her analysis. Due to her former impoverished existence, she has never visited the prestigious kingdom. But now she has the opportunity to finally meet the king. An offer she couldn't refuse.

Nova nodded, "I accept your invitation, and please stand up, I'm not your deity." Her voice was entrancing, reminiscent of a serenade that is carried by the wind and the clouds.

Her alluring voice had everyone spellbound, eager to listen to it endlessly. The servant gulped and stooped sheepishly on his feet, "thank you for your acceptance my Seeress, if you may, please board the carriage and we will escort you to the prestigious kingdom."
The servants squealed with delight and relief at the opportunity to finally meet the one and only Seeress as Nova tucked her folded tent inside her robe as she made her way to the carriage. Finally they could begin their journey back to the kingdom to see their long-awaited king.
