The sun is going to set as the dance troupe finished their practice. They have arrived at Ardington since midday. Vysenna sat down to rest her body. Thank the Gods, her headache was long gone so she was able to direct all of her dancers. It was all because that horrible vision that felt like nightmares. It made her passed out for a few minutes. Well this wasn't the first time she had it, but her heart still felt uneasy.

Will I be able to prevent it? She thought.

She leaned her back to the soft chair, but she didn't close her eyes. She was still afraid if the horrible vision will come again.

So she rested there while her eyes focusing on a little girl who was carrying a big wooden glass. She walked so slow with her azure eyes stared at the glass, not to her path.

Oh no... she will stumble in 3, 2, 1.

"Ouch." Sera shouted. The wooden glass that she brought almost fell out of her hand. Even though it wasn't happen, some of the water in it was spilled out and made the carpet wet a little.

"Stupid carpet." She grumbled.

Vysenna chuckled to hear that. "Don't blame the carpet, Sera. It was you who didn't look to the front and stumbled on the carpet."

Her face turned into red. She blushed because her careless act was caught up by her Master.

"Here." Sera handed her the glass.

The thirty-five years old woman took it and drank the water little by little.

"Your face still looks pale, Master. Are you sure you are alright?"

Vysenna smiled. She patted the girl's head. "I'm alright. I just need to rest my body for a while."

"Okay then."

She was about to leave but she looked doubt. Vysenna could she the struggle in her eyes.

"Seraphine, is there anything that you want to ask?"

"Uhm... Master."

"Yes?"

"What did you see?"

Vysenna frowned. Completely confused with her apprentice's question. "What do you mean, Sera?"

Sera grabbed her necklace - the one that her father gave to her as a birthday present - and played with it as she answered. "Well, I'm sorry if I'm rude for asking about it, but I'm really curious about what made you fade."

"I don't understand. What do you mean by asking it?"

"Master, your magic... you can see the future, can't you?"

***

It's been six years since Vysenna left Cerulean Kingdom. She never told anyone about her magic when she decided to live at Crimson Kingdom. She even didn't want to remember her ability. No one ever knew her real magic beside Selwyn, who was also left the Kingdom like her. She only smiled when someone ask her what kind of magic she had. No one knew it and no one ever caught her up while she was in a trance state. Until today...

Vysenna Oracle went on a totally silence. She knew that this will happen someday, the day that someone will know her ability to see the future, but she never thought that 'someone' was Seraphine, an eleven years old girl.

"Master?" She tilted her head. She looked afraid because her Master didn't answer her.

"How did you know?"
