The RavenStark Quest: Awakening

CHAPTER15:ETHAN HARLOW

Everyone in the room were in awe, shock, wonder, confused, dazed and gazillions of questions floating in our mind. Christina sat on a comfy chair right beside she was standing, pressing her hands tightly on her cheeks. Theo and Peter just stood there without any expression on their face leaning onto each other. I on the other hand, still had not relived from the story that Drake had just told.

"So, that was the legend that Olisen wanted to tell you." Drake said looking straight into something serious and then shuddering his glance from it.

Peter, Theo, Christina and I had nothing to say after hearing that tragic ending. But still how where we related to all of this? What does this have to do with us being famous or whatever we are over in here?

"Wow!" Peter said almost shrieking in either wonder or shocked.

"In what way are we related to this whole thing?" Theo asked stepping forward.

"Yeah and Drake can you please tell me what does 'the chosen one' mean?" I asked dying for answers.

"When, Cyana died people began to rejoice over our triumph. But little did they know something big was waiting for us just around the corner. Little did they know she would return." Drake said glaring straight through the window in a serious tone.

"Return?" Peter asked moving a bit forward.

"Yeah, when dark magic consumes a person for over a decade they not only become powerful but also immortal. So, when Cyana died that day, the day 60 years before now she was just defeated but never dead. After the death of their parents Olisen, Ophelia and Klariatte were taken care of by Wynston Kramborg, their uncle. They were thought powerful magic since they attained their age to perform magic. One day, when Wynston on his usual morning walk on his garden was found dead. He looked like he was murdered brutally, results claimed that he was killed with dark magic in his veins. Everyone started to panic, as dark magic was has not set its foot on RavenStark since the vanquish of Cyana. Olisen and his sisters looked further into the matter. The whole council started going through ancient books and records. That's when they found that she was immortal." Drake said solemnly.

"This still does not answer my question, why did Olisen call us 'the chosen one'? I asked pressing harder. I was getting a feeling like I was some sort of deeply indulged in this situation and my life is in danger.

Drake stared at me with a concerned look on his face.

"Cyana lost half of her power when Astroph, Lyra and Nina performed the reverse spell. In order for her to gain her power back she needs three inevitable things, the ring of her father, a sacrifice of a witch or a wizard and the every single drop of blood from a girl and a boy that her stars align with. That's the prophecy." Drake said staring at me, he knew I understood but he hoped I was strong enough to brave through it.

"The girl...in that case...."Theo said with his words stuttering.

"Elizabeth Harlow." Drake finished. Hearing that I fell on the ground with full conscious though tears did not come through my eyes I was anxious, nervous. I did not ask for any of this, I did not ask to come here; I knew something was going to happen but I never thought this is what it had to be.

Chris and Peter helped me back to my feet.

"The boy?" I asked with whom I was going to share my miserable fate with.

"It's your brother." Drake said with a straight face.

"Brother?" I shouted confused. "I do not have a brother, Drake. Not even cousins as a brother I am the only girl of the Harlow family." I said bewildered.
