Prophecy of the Immortals

Ryan inched closer towards the little cutie playing with squibirds. Her small back and light voice felt soothing to ears. After so many years of cold loneliness, it felt like spring had finally arrived. His wolf jumped around in his head happy for this reunion with his other half of soul, his soulmate. Standing behind her, he could feel the happiness radiating from her.

His heart fluttered seeing her, he just wanted to cuddle her. But he controlled himself, till the time she noticed him. Looking towards him, he saw the same face that he had seen on that night making his heart go haywire. Those beautiful tresses trailed down her small back. His wolf too behaved like a retard, prancing around like a puppy.' Get yourself under control Ryan', saying this Ryan broke the trance-like moment.

These winged squirrels were so irresistibly cute and attractive that Anuja couldn't resist playing with them. Well, what could she say. She had a soft corner for animals from ever since she could remember.

While playing with them she felt a sudden change in the air. A sweet smell wafted through the air. Feeling someone's presence behind her, she turned around to find those mesmerising topaz green eyes that haunted her last night. Electrifying. That's what she felt.

Taking in those handsome features she felt her heart beating so hard, it made breathing difficult. Moving her eyes downwards she took in his handsome figure. It looked so godly, adorned in shining armour which matched his red mane perfectly.

'It felt like an angel of death has come to take me away with him. It feels like he is only mine and mine…

Wow wow wow, Anuja just what is going in that dummy brain of yours huh?

Stop daydreaming and come back to your senses you mush brain.' Scolding herself, she broke eye contact with his body and tried to look in another direction.

As if he too understood her embarrassment, he cleared his throat bringing her attention to his beautiful plump lips. 'Ohhh just stop it.' Anuja internally groaned.

"I wanted to talk, Miss..." Changing her attention to what he wanted to say, but to her surprise what he did first instead of waiting for her reply, was offering her a hand to take.

She blinked surprisingly towards it not understanding as her head was still in a daze. His voice was the sexiest among the ones she had ever heard.

"We don't want you to catch a cold and get dirty while sitting here on the ground. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the talks that way.", said Ryan in a humble, innocent and gentlemanly way. ' Ohh what a gentleman why didn't I meet him sooner. Not only did he save my life, but even provided me with a shelter in this strange world.'

"It's Anuja. Nice to meet you." Coming back to her senses she placed her hand in his and with a swift motion he pulled her up, towards him, in his embrace.

Feeling his warm chest flushed against hers, her cheeks started to heat up. 'Calm down Anuja he was just trying to help you don't take it in a wrong way,' saying this to herself she tried to sooth her fast beating heart. Stabilizing Anuja and after putting some distance between them, he pulled her towards a bench.

Her hand still in his big warm ones, he motioned for her to sit.

"I'm Ryan, it's nice to meet you too", said he in a soft voice just above a whisper. They were sitting on the bench under the warm light of sun, accompanied by the cold winter air.

A shiver raked her whole being. Seeing this with his keen eagle eyes, Ryan clapped his hand twice and out of nowhere, appeared a butler in black holding a shawl. 'This is just impossible! How did he appear from thin air? Well since coming to this world I have been only surprised again and again. This is really a totally different world so I shouldn't get that surprised as of now, probably.' Anuja comforted herself.

"How are you feeling?",asked Ryan in a concerned voice breaking her train of thoughts. Feeling confused by his sudden question it took a moment for her to reply.

"I'm fine now. Thanks to you coming to save at the right time.", she said giving him her biggest smile, almost leaving Ryan breathless by her action.

"That's good to hear. And it's fate that brought me there at that time. You shouldn't take too much stress now and I shall find a way to send you back home.", said Ryan with an evil glint in his eyes but Anuja was too busy in her happiness to notice anything.

Sitting beside her, Ryan observed the weather in a quiet, peaceful manner. And she continued to do the same.

"Mhmm "

She looked towards the source of the voice in a questioning manner.

"That mark on your hand is really beautiful. It reminds me of a saying in this world.",said Ryan in a mysterious tone.

"Ohh what is it, what is it m? I want to know, I mean if you are free and if you want to...you know..."

"It's OK I have some free time in my schedule today. So let me tell you. About 1000 years ago there used to be a witch named Rose White, the kindest witch ever born she was 230th witch queen.

She had a twin sister named Maya, she used to be jealous of her sister's achievements. During that time the gate between the two worlds was controlled by the witch queen. There was a friendly relation between humans and immortals at that time.

But then the witch queen suddenly disappeared and her sister said that humans were the ones who killed her in order to steal her powers. And hence the gate to the other world was closed henceforth forever. Maya was made the new witch queen.

And the world of witches was shrouded in mystery forever, it's entrance gate hidden forever, only know about it."

"But what has that got to do with me?"

"The symbol or mark of the kingdom of witches, Arakna, is a black phoenix, symbolising their never-ending powers and longevity...."

"But if they are immortals then how could Rose be killed?"

"Immortality doesn't mean that they cannot be killed by injuries. It means that they don't age nor do they fall ill. But the strangest of all the things is that it is said the heir of Rose shall return and they shall bear the mark of black phoenix. Hmm, Where did you get it from? ", said Ryan in a confused manner.

'How am I supposed to tell a man that around midnight an owl comes to meet me and gives me a mark in return of me letting him in and showing some kindness towards the little beast? But maybe he knows something about it. After all, anything is possible in THIS world.'

She turned towards him looking him in the eyes, he had such an innocent look, she must tell him," You know the last ni...."

But before she could continue they were interrupted by a bright cheerful voice.

" Heya Ryan, hello there Miss Beautiful", said a man with striking features taking her hand in his, his golden hair shining brilliantly under the sun and his orange eyes giving him a fierce aura, which complimented his soft and cheerful demeanour.

"Hello, Mica, did you have something to report to me? ", said Ryan with a stern look. Moving towards Ryan in a calm way, he whispered something in his ears.

She tried to understand his thoughts from his expressions, but he had a blank look on his face. After saying something into his ears, the man named Mica left.

After his departure, standing up Ryan looked at her in the eye and said," Let's go, there is someone who wants to meet you"

'That's surprising who can come to meet me in this unknown and mysterious world'.

Thinking this a crease appeared between her eyebrows, which caught Ryan's eye.

"Don't worry she justs an old abandoned witch who lives in a nearby village. I called her here to help us with your matter. She is waiting in the great halls."

Nodding her head she stood up, took his hand and followed him towards the great hall.
