The New Light of Hope Book V: Corruption From Within.

Chapter II: Informing the Group.

Aurora:

Date: July 2, 2020.

The next day came and we all headed to the forest as we usual did when Abigail told us: "Guys, I have to tell y'all something important before it's too late."

Commander Aurora: "Of course, Abby. Go ahead."

Abigail: "Something happened the other day which later came with a warning that same night. The other day when me and Bellatrix were practicing how to control our powers, the same day when we received them, I unknowingly opened a portal to the Corruption Realm and the Insolence captured me to force out what I knew about each of our powers, but I refused to tell them and it resulted to me getting tortured because I wouldn't tell them. It wasn't until Bellatrix came and saved me and we ran out of there as fast as possible and I closed the portal behind me before any of them could even get out into the real world. And that same night, I experienced what I thought was a nightmare at first until I learned that it wasn't one; it was rather a warning. Our grandfather came to me and said that what I just experienced was something that I could not ignore now, because within each of our powers, there lies a dark secret in each of them— a corruption of some sort that's been around since the beginning of the founding of the Forest and the formation of the Division as a whole and it's possible that this time may be worse for us. This is what Amanda warned us about after the ceremony and she's right; each of them had a dark secret within in and although we haven't yet experienced what it's like, we're going to learn what it has in store for us eventually."

Summer: "Well, as long as we have God on our sides, we won't really have anything to worry about."

Amethyst: "Really? That's your honest response to this? Summer, do you not see the possible severity of this situation? First, Abigail is an atheist; second, bad things happen for a reason and there's not really anything we can do to prevent it from happening. Sometimes, we just have to stand back as things unfold, just because your prayers for your sister were answered doesn't mean that God will always answer your prayers if you're in need of it. Am I the one who always has to hint that you need to grow closer with the Lord or do we need to sit down and have a long 'Come to Jesus' talk about this?"

Commander Aurora: "Slow your rolls, Amethyst. I am glad to hear your concerns about the situation, but I think it'd be best if we set aside our differences in the meantime and talk more about this later when we have the time to do so."

Amethyst: "You're right, you're right, I'm sorry. I-I-It's just important for everything to know that we have to at some point learn that God can't always answer our prayers and that he alone decides what happens in a person's life."

Commander Aurora: "I know, I know, but let's focus on the current state of affairs at bay here."

Amethyst: "All right. Abigail, what else do you have to share about that we need to know about right now before hand?"

Abigail: "That's about it as far as I know. But if anything does come up, either me or Bellatrix will inform you all about it as soon as possible."

Amethyst: "All right, and thank you for telling us about this new information. We'll be sure to always keep it in mind."

Commander Aurora: "All right then, if all is said and done, then we shall head out to our respected Divisions and we will talk more about this later when we head back home. Okay?"

Amethyst: "Affirmitive."

Commander Aurora: "Then let's go."

And just like that, we headed off to our respected Divisions and at the end of the day, when we were heading back home for the night, we talked more about the omen, knowing that soon enough, what it meant would later come true, like all omens and prophecies that have been given to someone in the past as a warning for what is yet to come.
