Sitting in the lounge with a big dining table in between they all waited for the old lady to come downstairs with the material she needed.
She looked more excited to give them answers than them who were nervous.
This old lady, whose name was Dahlia, came with a crystal ball.
She was humming around like a kid and sat in front of them. She smiled at the kids and motioned them to ask their queries.
Yn was the one to ask. She straightforwardly asked the old witch to tell her about the prophecy she told her mother?
To which, Dahlia simple answered,
Dahlia: Forgive me dear but I can only tell you the prophecy. I'm a prophet, my sole job is to foretell the prophecy and make sure it reaches the right person. That is where my job is done. I only get a glimpse of the person it belongs to.
Yn: So you don't know anything about the prophecy? Like anything? *She frowned*
Dahlia: The only thing I know is that this prophecy serves for only one purpose. And that is to correct the mess which was created. Nature has repeated the time, repeated itself to reunite the souls which were torn apart
Taehyung: What does this mean? What mistake? *He furrowed*
Dahlia: Be patient my dear. This test may be cruel to you all but I swear, the outcome is the epitome of true happiness.
Yn: Then why not just tell us? Why all the same things again and again!? *She spoke getting worked up*
Dahlia: My child, I'm just a messenger the almighty has already written the fate. And he has chosen you for this epic tale.
Yn: But why did you tell this to my mom?
Dahlia: She was an important part of this twisted game dearie she sacrificed herself for you, she gave up her life to end your suffering.
Your highness, even your parents knew about this.
Taehyung: Their death has only become a reason for our suffering Ma'am. But you can help us. You already knew we were gonna come here, I know there is something you can do for us.
Dahlia: *sighs and smiles* You are a worthy king Taehyung-ssi. And yes I can help you. I can't help you find the keys but I can help you find that door.
Sehun: Wait! How do you know about the keys and the door? You are hiding something.
Dahlia: *chuckles* I saw a glimpse of it when I saw you all again that's all.
Jennie: Did you see something else too?
Dahlia: You young people are so curious. Always ready with more questions. I'm afraid I can't keep up with you. Time is precious little ones, use it with sheer care.
Baekhyun: Then please help us find that door. *He begged*
Dahlia nodded and closed her eyes, focusing while her hands were on the crystal ball. It had barely been a minute when she hardly frowned and grabbed the ball bit more tightly but suddenly the sphere turned misty with blackish-grey smoke inside and burst out. Dahlia gasped and moved her hands away before the broken glass could hurt her.
She looked up at others who too were shocked and looked at each other and then at the old lady.
Yugyeom: Wh-what did just happen?
Dahlia: I-I saw something from y-your future. Be careful of that woman. She is a threat to everyone. If you avoid it then it's price would be heavier than you could take in.
Jungkook: Ms Yoon Ji? But she is locked away.
Dahlia: *She shook her head* Not for long. I saw her break free. And she is not alone, she still has a hidden card. Also, that Door is somewhere in the Royal Palace your highness.
Namjoon: Our palace? *Dahlia shook her head as a no* Wait, The Royal Palace!? *He said emphasizing on 'the'*
The old woman nodded and sighed. All the boys were shaken. One thing they knew was that everything related to The Royal Palace screamed danger.
They looked at each other in concern. Yoongi using his telepathy asked everyone to calm down and not scare the girls. He asked them to talk about it after they drop the girls home.
With that, they helped the old lady to get rid of the broken glass
After that, Jisoo asked if she could tell them about what exactly did she see in the glimpse of the prophecy.
Dahlia was caught off-guard. She knew they will get their answers anyhow, so she simply smiled and looked at the girl.
Dahlia: What I saw was midnight. The wind howling as if they were warning. The full moon and stars were the only source of light. The marble floor covered with small pools of blood, clashing sounds echoing in the palace, the wind blew ever so aggressively making the curtains fly and windows panes flutter vigorously. It wasn't a survival but a battle.
But then she abruptly stopped. Her principle and beliefs didn't allow her to speak any further, yet she concluded saying that this is inevitable, and they have to be prepared for anything.
There was silence nobody said anything because they understood, they won't get any more answers than they have now, so they thanked the old witch and bid goodbyes taking their leave
Baekhyun was the last one to leave but before he did, Dahlia held him back whispering something into his ears.
Dahlia: Look under the table dear*she winked* And Goodbye child. I pray to god that you all win this battle without any great loss.
Baekhyun was utterly confused, he didn't understand what she was saying, the old lady sensed that and chuckled. With that, Baekhyun joined his friends and left.
It had already been nighttime, so they decided to just head back to their homes and rest for the night and start searching for the house the next day.
