Aura stood up at a speed that caused her to sway, she remembered everything, she could feel her now awakened powers course through her body, she placed a hand at her temple and gently massaged whilst the Bakhtak and Adriel watched her.

"You may leave now," Adriel said, glancing at the Bakhtak before reverting back to Aura who looked as though she would pass out from the overload of information.

Suddenly a loud shriek exploded from Aura, causing all the windows in the room to shatter as she was elevated off the floor and her head violently tossed back in a trance-like state. Her eyes fogged over and Adriel watched with interest at the strange occurrence.

I felt an overflow of untouched power flow through my body as I swayed, but it was something else too. I could feel something else course through me. I heard a deafening scream echo around me as I felt my body become limp and saw my vision become dark.

Not again!

I heard the crackle of a fire and the creepy chanting of kids before I could actually see them. When my vision came to I saw a blazing fire at my feet, the flames licked at my legs without burning me. I looked up and saw three small girls, they looked around seven.

They all were holding hands and chanting with white, flowing dresses which kept rising as they spun around. Their red lips was a striking contrast from their coal black hair that flowed around pale faces.

"Death was her destiny,
fate intervened and
now she becomes more
immortal than we. " They all chanted as they circled her almost like they were playing ring a ring of roses.

"Power courses.The gods know not that she brings life or death in her wrath." One of the girls said her eyes two black orbs that seemed pitless.

" Gifts beheld are minuscule for the power that now courses within." the second girl said her eyes a red fire, blazing through.

" You will rule them all the goddess of deities." The third goddess's eyes turned dark blue. An endless sea.

"You will raise an empire and rule entirely. " They all chanted as their eyes swirled with black, red and blue. Black smoke rose from the fire and enveloped her "Athánatos, Athánatos, Athánatos" She heard in the back of her mind as the fog rolled out.

Auras eyes once again slowly peeled open to see Adriel before her staring at her in wonder, her raven black hair now had white highlights twisting down her back, her eyes were a swirling depth of color in which Adriel felt he would be drowned in and be dragged into its depths. Her lips were tainted a dark, blood red and the magnitude of the power he felt radiate from her...It was just a flicker and then it was gone. All of it.

The white disappeared from her hair leaving black in its purest form, her lips faded and her eyes fluttered now a brown like before.

I looked up at a confused Adriel, I could hear thoughts swirling in my head. Thoughts that were not mine.

How strange... I heard I could feel his curiosity grow and strangely I knew what to do.

"Come closer," I said with a newfound boldness. I placed my fingers on his temples and his eyes turned white.

Minute's past before his eyes changed back and my hands fell down. He looked baffled but at the same time I could feel the pieces click together, suddenly it just stopped. I could hear and feel nothing. At least nothing coming from him, but I could hear murmurs of others further away.

It was like he blocked me out, but even though I couldn't hear him I could see the realization dawn upon him as his eyes widened.

I slowly sat up, feeling alive, I wanted to know about what I just saw, but the hard look he now donned told me otherwise.

"stay here." He commanded before he vanished.

Adriel disappeared from before her only to appear in folkvangr where four goddesses stood waiting.

Frigga, Freya, Fulla, and Hecate all stood in the room waiting for him. The minute he came to know, Frigga came to know and summoned the others in folkvangr.

"Do you have any idea what you have done?! " Adriel asked the goddesses.

" That girl! The kind of power she has will rival all. It surpasses Zeus and Odins, and if they all come to know... Hella might not be the only person she needs to be protected from."

Frigga looked at Adriel and spoke.
"Odin will not harm her, shes his daughter, No one within our pantheon will dare to harm her." she thought for a second." but Odin's enemies and many who lust power, will try to steal it. "

" What if she turns on us?" Hecate asked." You heard what the prophecy said, she is immortal now. More than the fates! "

"She is too pure for that, she has been brought up well," Fulla interjected.

"How can you be sure ?" Adriel asked.

"Because I saw a glimpse into her future. Into our futures."  Frigga said. Cutting in.

"You couldn't see it before," Adriel remarked snidely.

"That was up to the fates No one knows what they choose to keep hidden"Frigga walked over and glanced down at the soldiers fighting before she started talking again " but you, you will protect her." She said looking pointedly at him

"I doubt it, she has too many that will go against her, why would I put myself in harm's way with my limited abilities?"He questioned.

"Simply because she is the key. call her your savior. Your destiny has been intertwined with hers before you even knew it."

"You have been fated."
