A Reading and A Poem of The Future

Later on after Equestrian class I went to the library and in there I saw Tessa at a table with some tarot cards. She looked up at me noticing I was staring. "What you want to do a reading for you, or do you not believe in this stuff?" I began shaking my head and walked over to her. "No I do believe in that stuff it's just I didn't think you did and as for a reading do you mean that you know how to interpret what the cards tell you?" She then looked deep into as if she was trying to look into my soul. "You have something on your mind don't you? I'm willing to listen it will help me get in some practice so I will do a reading for you after all you have been staying away from Andrew so I guess I can be nice to you just this once." She then shuffled the cards and put them in stacks of three. "So what would you like me to ask the cards?" I breathed and relaxed myself then set my books aside. "My future with Erebus, what is to happen between us if I we end up having a relationship?" She then flipped the cards over and certain ones appeared. Passion darkness and lovers. "So from what I see you are beginning on a dangerous path that involves passion between you two and then darkness will fall, but should you two escape the darkness you will be lovers for all eturneity." She then looked back at me but her eyes soon shifted to behind me. I looked in her direction and Erebus was there. "Miss Scarlett may I please speak with you in the temple of Nyx?" He then turned and I grabbed my stuff following him. "Thank you Tessa." I said as I tried to keep up with Erebus. When we got to the temple he locked the doors and pulled down the blinds making it dark in the room. Then candles were lit and he was standing by a table. "How much of what I was speaking with Tessa about did you hear?" He sat down and I sat across from him. "The part about the lovers but I'm not gonna pry I know you're trying to decide if you want to give us a try." He then pushed his chair closer and began digging his hand into his pants. "I asked you here because I've been hearing Nyx in my head and I wrote down this poem that went over and over in my head several times. He showed me the paper and I began reading it. Two souls brought together by their goddess, their lives entwined forever. But two beings shall soon rise the bull of good and the bull of evil, only one will bring about the world's demise. The two souls must become one, or what transpires can not be undone. Only with love can the two fight the darkness and bring light to everyone. One a soul of good chosen by the heavens light and the other soul chosen by the bull of darkness. I then looked back at him not sure what to say. "Well what do you think it means?" I pushed the paper to him then stood up and turned from away. "It means that if you and me don't be together then this world is doomed, Nyx chose because somehow in some strange way only you and me can stop the bull of darkness and the bull of good is supposed to fight with us." He came up behind me and put his arms around my stomach. "I know that you don't care for me in the way I care for you but we can't let evil come into this world we must work together." He held me close and I sighed knowing he was right. Evil was coming and I had to stand with Erebus to fight it
