"Realm of No life, how?"
Rory and I asked at the same time.
"Yes the realm where no life is found"
She responded coolly. Her response did not imply the name of the place. How can she say the realm of no life but three lives are found in it?.
"I know you have questions and I am here to answer them all to you. Your coming here was not by accident, it was to prevent what is to come tonight"
No one told us to sit after we heard what she said. Rory sat and made sure to have body contact with me, she's indirectly telling me we are in this together and at this point, I cherished her high level of understanding.
"You might not know Rory, but you are destined by nature to be with Xylie. This should not come as a surprise to you because I am sure you were supposed to be aware of it."
She said and directed her gaze at Rory, I was speechless.
"What about metas and witches?"
I asked.
"Your mate died a long time ago and Rory's mate died a mysterious death and since your heart inclines with each other, it was ordained that you both, if you want could mate with each other, if you so pleases, it's up to you both."
I was not surprised by the news because I have always felt that Rory and I are meant to be and now that it has been confirmed, no going back. I am making her mine after all of these.
"So back to why you both were brought here."
She said and stood up
"Let me get something"
She left for the second time and Rory stared up at me. She was so relieved by the news and she was trying so much not to show it but excitement was all over her, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, it was there.
I sighed and squeezed her hand. We will find ourselves but right now, there is a problem to solve.
The old woman returned a few minutes later with a crystal ball and she positioned it in front of us and sat on the grass floor.
"Let me take you on a journey of what would have happened tonight if not that you are here and afterwards, I will tell you why your coming here will prevent that. I tell you, the one who caused you to come here is regretting at the moment and she's trying to pull you both out but she can't and because of it the black witches will banish her from their association. The gravity of her offence is eternal banishment, from today onwards, she will ceased to be a witch"
She said and waved her hand around the Crystal ball and a scene came in view. A lady in a cloak was seen preparing a potion in large quantities with another lady who seems to be helping her. The more she makes the potion, the more the other lady stores them. They continue like that until they have had about 300 potions stored in a wine like bottle and they were all labelled. The label came in few and it read, EVEN GREEN WINE. The cloak lady waved her hands and the bottles got seal, it looks more like new wine. I was wondering why she would be making potions in such large quantities and afterwards, making them look like wine.
She made another potion and doubled the ingredients and afterwards poured it into a bottle and labelled it then turned it into sealed wine.
The scene ended and another opened in a large hall. It was more like a party was going on and the lady that was assisting the cloak lady was seen dressed gorgeously and then I gasped when I realised who she is.
I had to blink my eyes to make sure she was really the one and she was, no doubt about it. It was Loveth, Nora's neighbour.
I shifted my gaze and saw Nora and Ben coming through the hall entrance looking perfect like a match made in heaven and sure they are.
The cloak lady transformed herself into one of the stewards and began sharing the potion-like wine.
Whoever tastes the wine,the soul leaves the body and goes straight into a glass looking clothes box, it was transparent enough to see the souls trapped inside.
You would not notice that something is wrong because the body of the trapped soul was still behaving normally.
Loveth came to Nora and Ben and toasted to their coming and they both drank the wine that was presented to them and the crystal ball went blank.
The lady looked up and looked at Rory and I. Rory was so quiet and I guess it is because she is speechless. The highest betrayal ever is to be betrayed by the one you trust.
