Chapter 10 - Stand and deliver.

Marcys Savage

"A Savage born... I see" She mumbles to herself, a distant faraway look in her white orbs.

"You hold a great power Savage born, indeed, even more so than your father. You will achieve great accomplishments, but be aware, the evil follow you like a second shadow you can never get rid of."

"The answers you are seeking can be found within the truth of your father's passing."

"I know how my father died" I snarl, my anger getting the better of me.

"Do you?" She muses, a tilt in her stance, as she studies me.

What the living hell is this woman babbling about?

"The man who planned your father's demise, was seeking the powers he possessed - The Savage born curse" She continue her riddle, confusing me even further.

"Are you going to keep up your riddle or actually tell us some valid information. Drop the fucking melodramatic act already" I growl, the string holding my rage inside snapped in thousand pieces.

A gleeful laughter erupts from her. "You are quite the character, Savage born" She reply.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

"A North man, no matter how powerful, can't defeat a Savage born. Your father was a powerful Savage born, and the story of his death is still untold."

"The legend states that the one taking the Savage born' last breath, receive the Savage curse and the powers that follow."

"That's ridiculous. Taking that kind of power from another individual is impossible" I speak, finding what she says absolute nonsense.

"Is it?" She muses and exhale a sigh in her brief pause. "The man who held you father's life within his hands, believed the legend, and was seeking the powers your father obtained from his bloodline. The man's name was Richard Daony"

The mostly forgotten memories flash by in a blur, too fast to comprehend, but I gain enough knowledge from the flashes. I remember Richard, he was one of my father's people, and as far as I know, every one of my father's people loved him dearly. He wouldn't betray my father like that.

Before I can disagree with the information given, the seer starts speaking again.

"The man had a somewhat close relationship with your father, which paved the way to his success in his schemes. As your father was fighting the battle at hand, the man snuck up behind him, and stabbed him in the back, but what the man failed to obtain was the knowledge that the knife wasn't the cause of his doom. The two shifters jumping on him, and successfully ripping him apart, as he fell to his knees in agony, was the ones who took his last breath, and therefore received the Savage curse and the powers following."

As she finishes the story, she turns to look upon Luka who's been quiet throughout the story of the year. "The monster you are seeking revenge from, is the one who survived the battle leading to the great Shawn Savage' downfall."

"Seek into your past and your present to unlock the evil hiding within your kingdom, only then will the truth be revealed at last" She ends her nonsense riddles.

What a fucking waste of our precious time this was. We didn't get any wiser on the problems we're faced with, and we spend a whole goddamn day on this shit. I can't believe I sacrificed my sleep for this.

The heavy stare directed at me is diminishing my control and is pushing it to its limit. It doesn't take more than a second for me to snap the string holding everything together in a tight knot.
