After a week of solitary confinement, Liliana emerged from her place with newfound determination. She had spent seven long days in isolation, weeping for Arlon and longing for the day when they could be together again. Now, she was ready to take action to rescue him from his torment. Liliana's mind was filled with a clear plan as she stepped out of the bathroom, her determination shining in her eyes. She knew that time was of the essence, and she had prepared herself mentally and emotionally to face any obstacle that stood in her way. With a resolute heart, she set out to gather the necessary resources and allies to execute her daring rescue mission.
At daylight, she suddenly meets an old sage who greets her saying that she knows her. What struck her as odd was that the sage seemed to know her, even though they had never met before. The sage's eyes held a glimmer of ancient wisdom as if they had witnessed her journey long before it even began. Intrigued and slightly unnerved by the sage's claim of knowing her, she cautiously asked how it was possible. The sage, with a gentle smile, explained that they had been watching over her from afar, guiding her steps and protecting her throughout her journey. The old sage revealed that they possessed a gift of foresight, enabling them to see the paths that lay ahead for those with remarkable destinies.
Intrigued and slightly unnerved, Liliana had engaged the sage in conversation. "How do you know me?" she had asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
The sage had regarded her with ancient, knowing eyes and replied, "I have been waiting for you, dear child. You are the mate made by the heavens for the boy whose mind is so delicate that one mishap can cost his life."
Liliana was taken aback by the sage's cryptic words. "What do you mean?" she inquired, her brows furrowing in confusion.
The sage had offered a reassuring smile. "I know of the boy, that's your beloved, little girl," he said without mentioning Arlon's name, though Liliana knew exactly who he was referring to. "I have watched over him since his birth, for I knew the challenges that lay ahead."
Listening intently, Liliana had wanted to know more. "But his family... They mistreat him. They can't accept his delicate mind. You told that just one mishap and it will cost his life."
The sage had nodded, his expression sympathetic. "I warned them when he was born, for he arrived in this world unconscious—a clear sign of his delicate mind."
The sage continued, "His delicate mind makes him susceptible to danger and easily overwhelmed by the complexities of the world. His family's mistreatment only exacerbates his vulnerability. I have done my best to protect him and guide him, but the stakes are high. Any wrong move, any moment of neglect from his family, could indeed prove fatal for him."
The sage had chuckled softly. "You know, Your exceeding beauty and his exceeding physical charm are not mere coincidences," he had explained. "They are gifts, bestowed upon you both for a greater purpose. You are now fulfilling that purpose on this earth."
Liliana had felt a mix of awe and trepidation at the sage's words. "What do you see in our future?"
The sage had fixed his gaze on her, his eyes filled with certainty. "Now is the time for you to rescue him. But I must warn you, a great turmoil awaits you—a challenge that could tarnish your dignity. However, it is destined that this turmoil will be halted, for it must be fulfilled to fully reunite you and your beloved. Together, you will live longer and fulfil your destiny on earth as it nearly approaches its culmination."
Liliana had felt a sense of relief wash over her. She had nodded firmly, her determination resolute. "I will face that turmoil head-on if it means rescuing Arlon from his family."
After saying that, the sage disappeared into thin air, leaving Liliana alone with her newfound resolve. She knew that the path ahead would be treacherous, but she was ready to face any obstacle to save the man she loved. Liliana knew that her path was clear. She had a purpose, and she was willing to do whatever it took to reunite with Arlon and protect him from the horrors he faced within his own home. With renewed determination, she set out to find her beloved and bring him back to the light, even if it meant facing the great turmoil that lay ahead. She knew that time was of the essence, as every passing moment meant Arlon was in danger. She would not rest until she had rescued him from the darkness that threatened to consume them both.
