A Tale Of A Lifetime

1.9

Taken Into The Dark Realm

**********

When her gaze focused to Hillary, she saw a vision. Blurred images entered her mind at a fast pace to the point of losing comprehension regarding the meaning behind those scenes. However, what imprinted on Mora's thoughts was the tears and blood shed that she saw. 

When Hillary chanced upon on Mora's direction, she saw her looking like in a trance over something and she looked paler. As curious as she was, Hillary called to her, waking Mora up from its trance.

"Are you alright, Mora? You look paler than before..." Hillary asked out of concern to the elderly woman but more reason to it was to satisfy her curiosity.

"I'm fine. I just saw something..." Mora replied in a huff as if she went into a marathon.

"Like a vision? Is that why you're looking like in a trance earlier...?" Hillary pried, curious about knowing what the vision entails.

There might be some hidden clues that would help me go back...

Instead of answering Hillary, Mora asked for her hand which Hillary did not question and complied no matter how skeptical she felt at that moment.

"This..."

Hillary saw how Mora's face became troubled as she continued to look at Hillary's opened palm.

"Is there something wrong, Mora?" Even if Hillary did not believe at divination and stuffs like that, she could not stop herself from worrying as well as she saw Mora's reaction going frantic.

"I..I couldn't see through about your future. Its filled with vast darkness..." Mora uttered in confusion and doubts.

Must be because my soul had occupied this original host's body so my stay here can be considered somewhat bleak... An error... A jinx...

Hillary relaxed quite a bit when she thought it that way. After all, her soul did not really belong to this place so her future here will be unknown. All she have to do now is to find a way back in order to restore this messed up plot storyline. Perhaps, change a new profession by then.

"There's no point of keeping yourself worrying about my future which is bleak. Let's tackle the matter at hand--"

"But that vision..." Mora interrupted in a voice filled with fear. "The Kings' anger... The world in chaos... You're death--" Mora stopped before she could finished her broken sentences. Then, shook her head as if in disbelief. "Your future is blank. You can still change paths to change your fate..." Mora muttered assuring herself more which Hillary doubted if she should be happy and believe. But if there's a way to change the wheels of fate, Hillary would just be more than willing to do so.

"What path should I choose then?"

If I could change the original host's fate, it is of my advantage... until I can go back...

"Only you can know..."

Before Hillary could asked for more, she felt an intense and powerful dark aura looming behind her. She saw how Mora's eyes went wide whilst looking at something behind her. Hillary turned her attention to Princess Cynthia and Prince Drake who was looking pale on their spiritual form as if they saw something terrifying. All of it happened so fast. The only thing Hillary could remember before darkness covered her was how Devon had ran up to her place and tried to reach out in his spirit form but failed.
