Chang Er Ling and the call of the Blue Moon

The Golden Tree

In Kosegaim, the Keitians' vessel was facing a raging storm just as the ancestors suffered and lost themselves from others resulting in tragedy.

Hold on tight at the ends and get down to the shelter!― commanded Samira.

What do we do if the boat capsized?― Andrew deduced looking into nothingness, feeling the miwa of rain fall into his eyes and leaving him almost blind as he held with all the force he had on the edges of the vessel.

You stay close to the oir wheel and use all your strength to turn the vessel when necessary and the others stay in the shelter preparing to jump in the miwa if it takes until the storm passes!― Choi suggested.

Not far from there, the Khaitians were camped on the island's borders, already prepared for confrontation.

Does everyone know what we need to do?― Caesar asked.

All affirmed with their heads and continued to prepare weapons, tools and shields for protection.

In the healer's hut, Claudia was talking to herself as if she had someone present with her when Vanessa showed up.

Talking to the walls again, girlfriend?― joked Vanessa.

Claudia was an old woman, with dark eyes, curly hair and soft skin. It was almost impossible to determine her age that for many still looked young, and she was already ninety-five. On the body were some stone-shaped tattoos that represented the five elements of nature. On the forehead, the design of a quartz that represented the element madna(spirit). In the right hand, a turquoise that represented the element miwa(water). In the left hand, the drawing of a jade representing the kalawi(air) element. On the right foot, the drawing of a cornaline representing the huohi(fire) element and on the left foot, the citrus design representing the diguqi(earth) element; she wore a long costume that resembled a blanket covering her shoulders to her feet with her pelugem to hide the body symbols.

I was talking to our ancestors to confirm something very important and I discovered incredible news about your daughter.― replied Claudia.

My daughter? What do you mean, you don't know?― said curious Vanessa.

What we will live today is part of a prophecy that our future generations will prove. Unfortunately, we won't be here to watch what comes next.― lamented Claudia.

Prophecy?! Don't tell me that...― Vanessa thought of something as she spoke and Claudia agreed with her head.―No!― Vanessa discredited.

The prophecy says that a Chosen One will bring to the world the peace and balance that the First ones had destroyed when they freed the Knights of Qimugsi and only she can prevent future generations from sinking into the sorrows committed by their ancestors. Your daughter is part of it, and the Chosen One will be with us in nine days.― said Claudia.

So you're saying my daughter was chosen by prophecy? How is that possible? She hasn't even got her gift yet!― conferred Vanessa.

You didn't tell her about us, did you? That would result in something not very good. First she must find out for herself and then we can tell her what happened to her.― Claudia asked earnestly

Unfortunately yes...― Vanessa replied feeling guilty. Claudia was surprised and was already going to complain, but Vanessa continued.― But I didn't tell him about us. I only told her that our ancestors received the gifts and that from generation to generation each receives one of them to use it consciously or loses everything forever as punishment for using it needlessly.― apologized Vanessa.
