"I think we just need to tell her who she is.These carving and that bracelet cannot protect her for much longer.Its time we tell her who she is and what she is meant to be.Now is the time she learns about her abilities",she seriously said.
"She is only twenty and remember we promised Hailey that we will make Emily live a normal life away from that prophecy",I stated.Laura nodded her mind overcrowded with memories.
"Look here May,who knows how many armies Maledicta is creating.Remember Emily is the prophesied Destiny child who will bring the Mystical creatures world together and end her tyranny .Don't you want to reconnect with our brothers and sisters beyond the wall?",she asked me.
"Yes.....",before we could finish our conversation the house started to experience an tremor.
The carving in the house started glowing with a golden light.These were our spells which kept evil powers and entities out of our house.Just then a vortex of gold colour and sound formed in the living room and in an nick of time Emily appeared in front of us with confusion written on her face .This shocked me that I dropped my knitting kit and looked at Laura who had the same shock as me.
"Aunties I believe you have some explanation to do here",Emily said towards us and her tone was filled with disappointment and a hint of anger.
Before we could open our mouths to speak we heard the house experiencing the very same tremor like before but now the carving had a very dark glow.She had found us after 20 years of hiding.
Just then the barrier was broken and a black creature came inside.I saw Laura signal me and we simultaneously blasted the creature with our magic and it instantly turned into dust.
"Yes ,now you better start explaining thi gs or I might go crazy.What was that thing and what just happened here?You know what forget it let me tell you I was at school and I stood up to a bully and fought a lot of people on my own.Ot was like I was following my instict ,then I saw my hands develop into claws .When I went into the bathroom that creature showed up and a voice said something about Destiny .Am losing my mind already please explain",Emily said and she threw herself on the couch staring daggers at us.
Laura starred me with a knowing look.This was her cue for us to tell her what she needed to know.
"Emily you have to forgive us for taking this long to tell you everything regarding you amd who you are",Laura said softly.
"Aunty I understand that everything you did was to protect me but you could have at least told me half of it",Emily said with tears evident on her face.
"Child listen before your mother passed away she made us promise to help you grow away from the prophecy that surrounded your birth",I said as I cupped her face in my hands and wiped away the tears that were starting to fall.
"Now am hearing a new side what prophecy",Emily questioned.
"Give me your hands Emily",I said as I took her hands in my palm and started chanting voices.
Emily Pov
"Give me your hand Emily",Aunty May said her voice barely above a whisper.I hesitated at first ,but the reassuring gaze from Aunty Laura made me put my palms inside her outreaches hands.The moment our skins touched the house started to experience a tremor and it started to turn into a blur and fade away.Aunty May's eyes were locked into mine and I was drown into a vision.
I found myself in a strange place .The river was flowing but it was red with blood and everywhere were bodies scattered on the ground.
"What happened here?",I asked Aunty May and Laura who were standing besides me.
"War my dear ,keep walking",Aunty May said and soon I was in a tower.Infront of me was a huge book with yellow pages which showed how old it has been.It was placed on the centre of the tower which was lighted by the moon.
"What is this?",I questioned them.
"This book is the history of our people Emily.It tells of how the Elder Gods crested the first supernatural beings as well as this supernatural world",Aunty May smiled and then answered softly with her echo ringing in the tower.
I opened the book looking at the intricate illustrations as well as strange symbols aborting what every page said.
"I see pictures about fairies,werewolves,vampires and dragons what about humans",I curiously asked.
" They were created by another diety .We are a folklore to their world though we live in the same world.",Aunty Laura chimed in the conversation.
I immersed myself in reading every page but soon I had reached the end of the book.
"That's it .What history was that it was just a few pages",I retorted with anger.
"Look closely. The book will show you what you want to see",Aunty May said.I looked and more symbols and drawing started to appear in a blue light.I started to read the new information.
"What is the war of the moon and who the hell is Lord Arctus the cursed vampire",I asked after reaching some point which were hard to understand.
"The evil King of the vampires who wished to control everything in this world",Aunty Laura said with anger on her face.
So where do I come in here.What about the prophesy",I asked.
"After Lord Arctus was killed a new group of rogue witches gained control of the dark magic this is Maledista our elder sister.She grouped with some rogue witches and they have been creating havoc ever since.A wizard by the name Merlin fought against them and the lands they had conquered were divided by a great wall.This wall separated the rest of us from our families and some of our kinds.After the Great Divide ,we were forced to flee into the Shadowlands where the soil is rocky and air thick with the stench of blood from the War of the Moon as well as dark magic.The lands there seems to work against us and the crops there wither.So on his death bed the wizard spoke of a being the Destiny child who will put an end to the reign of dark magic and unite every specie created by the Elder Gods.Who happens to be you.The time you were born as well as place showed us you were the destiny child.We don't know what you are capable of doing but we have always known you have great potential.So the wizard left the book of spells hidden on the cursed mountain and for you to retrieve it you need to have mastered your elements and all the power you hold because you will encounter several trials which will need them",she continued to narrate.
"I can't do it am only 20 years old.",I said and as soon as i finished my statement the book randomly flipped itself and rested on the last page and i saw my picture on the last page of the book.I was there what did that mean?
"What is going on now?",I said asking noone in particular as my Aunties seemed puzzled by this event and just then I was pulled from the vision.
As the vision ended I was pulled back to reality.I took time and blinked constantly as I tried to adjust myself to the familiar living room.Aunty Laura's eyes were locked onto mine with concern "Emily are you oka",she said.
"Am fine Aunty",I reassured her and she added ,"I think the book is telling you that it's your destiny child.Thus wjy you were born in this world to deliver us from the clutches of evil and unite us whole again", she said.
"Thus why we did not want to tell you .We wanted you to he a little grown but the other party is not considering this they want you dead.So you better accept who you are and figh for the million who are waiting for you",Aunty May said and i felt a shiver ran down my spine."Are now all your questions answered?",she asked but i was in deep thought analysing the last picture i saw.I was standing with many creatures bowing before me with happy expressions on their faves.I guess i had to stop being selfish and fight for them like my Aunties are saying.
"Em",Aunty Laura said drawing my attention back.
"I said are all of your questions answered",Aunty May asked.
"Yes",i answered and i felt the place turn into a blur and the trance ended.
"So what is the way forward Aunty ",I said.
"Listen kiddo,I know this is a lot to take in right now but you are the person who we have been waiting for and many people are counting on you",Aunty Laura said.
Just then the window to our house was broken with tear gases.
"Get down",aunty may said.
