Wings of fate

Chapter 8

All my life I felt like a ghost among humans. I was just sitting and watching as life was flowing in front of me. People were coming and passing, I was just watching. That was what I was used to but since I came to this I somehow find myself in the middle of the trouble. It was like I started to be the main character of my own life but not in a good way. I was the character that never can find peace. Sitting in a dark cage with Jai those were the thoughts that swam in my head. Not Dain or Etetis. Which was stupid because they were the ones I had to think about. The wise tree had told us that Dain and Etetis weren't the same person but it didn't make sense because I was clearly being controlled by Etetis and Dain was the only one who could reach my mind. There was also the image I saw of Chaol and Etetis and Etetis's voice was the same as Dain. I can't mistake Dain's voice with someone because I heard him all my life. So how is it possible?

"Do you think maybe the wise tree lured uss? Your father is the one who owns the tree after all and he could have ordered the tree to lie to us. The fact that your father find us in the field right after we spoke to tree is also suspicious too," I said, turning to Jai. He was silently watching the bars all the time.

"My father doesn't own the tree, no one owns the wise tree, my father just built the castle on the tree so that no one but him can't have access to it. And the reason he was able to find us was my magic. When someone lifts your illusion to see thourgh you can sense it. He was probably waiting at the door to see who went in the Rheta door." I was seriously starting to think that there was something wrong with his promises. Whenever he promised something happened that broke his promise.

"But what about the things the wise tree said? They don't make sense. I knew we did miss something but the things the tree said didn't answer anything."

"The tree said that you were not Etetis's daughter and that Dain and Etetis was not same person it does make sense until here for me because there was already a century between your birth and Etetis death. It was also weird that Dain didn't do anything until now if he already could access you mind so it does make sense that they are different person but the rest doesn't make sense to me too. Like why does Dain and Etetis sound so familiar? Or how did Etetis got access to your mind? It is also the image you saw. Wise tree said that we read it wrong but I don't know what else 'dead people can't create magic' can mean. So we are kinda stuck at that"

"We are also kinda stuck in this cage, just so you know;" I said laughing. We were in here for an hour but he still didn't look alarmed about the situation. I on the other hand was very alarmed about what Chaol will do to us when he comes to us again. After what he did to my mom just for fun I don't want to know what he does to the ones who he thinks are guilty. The fact that his son was also in here with me didn't make the situation any better because I knew that Chaol didn't care about family relationships. For him a thief was a thief.

"Oh we are not stuck we are waiting Eleni and the rest to come free us"

"We are?" I said, raising one eyebrow. Why am I hearing about this after I used one whole hour to panic?

"Yes, and I told you about it one hour ago, did you already forget about it?"

"Don't play with me Jai, you didn't tell me anything. We have been sitting in silence since we came here."

"I am not joking Rosalynn, do you really don't remember the plan I told you?" he said with a worried expression. I frowned trying to remember anything we talked about after we found ourself in this cage but my mind was completely empty. In fact I couldn't remember anything after Chaol found us in front of the Rheta door. Suddenly my head felt very heavy and took a deep breath.

"I can't remember it but I am sure it is because I am tired. I haven't been able to sleep properly since I came to Lightlee. Can you please tell me the plan one more time." I was actually not really sure it was because of tiredness but I didn't want to think about one more thing in addition to everything.
