Book 3. Choices through time and space.

The dire number card test.

A,N: Well here is the next chapter. If you were wondering how this chapter was done so fast, it was because I already had made a lot of it in the past and just needed to rewrite it, since my English is getting better. Hopefully. Have fun reading. Please comment on what you think. Would love some feedback.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I were once again at the crumbled pathway, and were beside the familiar door, I was now so used seeing in my dreams. However for some reason it felt different than all the other times I had been here. I was not sure on what, but something was differently different here.

"Zaira, are you worthy? Are you ready to face your destiny?" The door asked and echo of voices followed saying are you worthy over and over. I just tsked a little.

"Cut with the useless babble and tell me something useful for a change" I sneered angrily "You go around in riddles, and give me no important information whatsoever!". Surprisingly the door actually began laughing. Never knew it could do that.

"As I would have expected from His chosen one" The door then said and smirked. I took some steps backwards. There were surely something different about the door today.

"What do you mean with chosen one? Who the hell are you talking about?" I then yelled back "Why are you acting more weird than usual?". The door chuckled again.

"The seal my child" It then replied and glared at me "Are you ready to face your destiny?".

My eyes widened at that. Now that I got a better look at it, one of the chains were hanging sloppy at the door, and.. wait was that a tiny rift in it? Like I had or were about to open? I was staring intensely at the door. If I just concentrated long enough, I might see what was inside. Sadly the door broke my concentration.

"Face your destiny around the Astral prince, and your path will be revealed" The door said and chuckled "If you do, a new path will open..". I looked stunned at it.

"New path will open? Astral? You gotta tell me more than that" I sneered.

I had just said that, when the door and everything began being blurry. I looked really horrified now.

"No wait! You can't leave now. I still have answers!" I shouted and tried to run after it. All that created was me falling of the crumbled pathway.

"Zaira, Zaira wake up!". I could feel myself get shaken and growled in annoyance.

"Just five more minutes Grandma" I replied and rolled around on my fluffy pillow. Or so did I think. It was warmer than usual and a warm breath hit my face now.

"Mistress it is time to wake up" I could hear Cy say, which confused me big time.

Why was Cy waking me up? Then it dawned to me, and I flew up. I found myself sitting at the floor inside the ship, who was inside the key. Cy was lying behind me, and I had as usual used him as my pillow. Not that he minded much. Problem was that I couldn't remember even falling asleep in here in the first place.

"Where.. what happened?" I then questioned and groaned slightly. I still felt tired.

"You fell asleep doing a healing in here" Astral said and I found him floating in front of me. Worry was present of his face. "Why didn't you tell me you needed a break? It would have been a lot better. Cy and I were very worried, when you collapsed so suddenly".
