[ INTERPRETING THE VISION ]

We got back to Lady Douglacia's residence, right in time to have our lunch. The maids were still serving the food when I entered the dinning room with Lora, Chesa, and Lucia following me. Africh was already seated when we got there and I could see lady Douglacia's eyes glued on me as I took my seat.

I couldn't tell what the mother and son were discussing before I entered, but I noticed from the strange atmosphere it might be something serious. "Good day My lady." I heard Lora and Lucia greeting in unison, and lady Douglacia nodded to answer.

"I was waiting for you to tell me what you saw." She said and I knew she was referring to me.

"Can I tell you when we're done?" I said, trying to close the chapter.

"I think we should talk about me Mum, Can I visit Kelvindor in some days." Africh said and l saw Lady Douglacia giving him a look I couldn't understand.

"You know you can't go there." She said as she started eating her food.

"Why? Isn't he from there, and his family is there as well." I interrupted.

"That's one of the rules given to me when he was gifted to me." Lady Douglacia said. She made it sound as if Africh was nothing but a gift.

"So you mean he has never set foot in the capital city since birth?" I wondered.

Lady Douglacia nodded her head to say no but Africh interrupted her. "I have mother, I did went to the queen's ball. the one to celebrate her recovery." He said with an apologetic face.

Lady Douglacia looked at him, not saying nor doing anything, I could tell she would have reprimanded him if not that we were around.

"Really? I don't remember seeing you, why didn't you introduce yourself?" I asked, trying to ease the tension but non of the two was giving up on their stubbornness.

" I think you should come there more often, and next time you do, please let me know." I said and Africh nodded to say yes.

The rest of the meal was a silent one, neither of us talked to anyone until we were done. Africh went out of the room right after eating and I could tell he was angry. I excused Lora and Lucia and went to lady Douglacia's room to have a talk with her. I knew she was angry with the way I acted around Africh but I didn't care, he was my step brother if he was her son as he says.

Strangely, her room looked a bit brighter than how it looked in the morning, maybe because it was day time. Most of the candles were off as well, and I could not feel the strange small and smoke again. I sat opposite to her as she instructed, even though I was not comfortable being with her all by myself.

"I need to know what you saw so I can interpret it to you." She said with a calm voice.

"I saw some stars in the darkness and two were fighting....." I started talking but infact, I was confused on how to narrate everything to her.

"I have a way of seeing what you saw, but that means you will see it again. Can you stand it?" She asked when she noticed how nervous I was.

I nodded and she made me lay in the long sofa with my eyes closed. I felt her touching my temples and I started contemplating as to what she wanted to do. Soon, I saw those images again, and she explained as I saw them, as if it was a play back of a show.

"You see the bright green star, that is you." I heard her saying.

" And who are those?" I asked as I saw the other stars appearing.

" Those are the people in your life, and I can say what ever decision you make will affect them, and likewise there's will affect you.

"So should I say this once are the most important people in my life?" I asked when I saw the five brightest stars.

"You can say that. The closest the star, the strongest their stand in your life, but I can't tell you who is which star." she explained.

" I can see the red star is the closest to yours, and from how it revolving around yours, I can say the person is like your guardian angel." I heard her say.

"And these two, the blue and the yellow stars, I can see from how they are revolving yours that, they are trying to protect you from any harm, but they will need the help of the red one to do so." She continued when I didn't say anything.

"Am afraid the one here might not be as calm as it seems. It looks as if this brown star here is waiting for an opportunity to do something, but I don't know what." Immediately she made that comment, Marcus's name was the first I could think of. I knew what ever he wanted to do might not be good.

"This star here, the silver one, I can see it will be of great help to you if the two of you get close. it want to get closer to you but I think it feels threaten and shaken, yet it wants to do something to help." She said .

Immediately she was done with her comment, the green star started shining bright and I felt scared again. "What is the meaning of this, I asked as I could wait anymore.

" That I can't tell, I think it's how you'll affect the people around you." She said. Just then, I saw the red star getting nearer, and I felt the need to stop it again, I started mumbling the same words I did in the morning again, and I could feel my heart racing as my breathing heaved.

My temperature was rising and I could feel sweat trickling down my body. "Did you see that?" I asked when I saw the brown star shot it way thru the blue and yellow stars, and I got scared if it could reach mine this time.

"I think that person want to be closer to you but the red one is not giving it a chance." Immediately I heard those words from lady Douglacia, all I could think of was who the red star could be, and the only person I could think of was the masked man.

"My dear, do you see that?" She asked when the other dimly stars started disappearing. I nodded and she continued to talk.

" Your decision and actions is what made them disappeared, you have to make sure you always make the right choice and... " Lady Douglacia couldn't finish her statement as a blast came from the green star. The blinding lights blinded us both and we lost contact from each other as lady Douglacia let go of my temple.

__________ Writer's POV, In the forest.

Abesselom was laying comfortably on his bed with his pet laying beneath his feet on the bed. He stare in his sleep and his comfortable state was replaced with restlessness. His body kept moving and tossing here and there till he had to forcefully open his eyes.

"Bad bream again?" Gideon asked telepathically immediately Abesselom opened his eyes.

"As you can see." He answered in irritation.

" The same summoning one or the old one? Gideon asked again.

" A new one, I think Azura is in some kind of trouble, it's not really strong but I can still feel it." Abesselom replied.

" It been a day since she left, why don't you go and see her?" Gideon suggested.

" I no I can find her where ever she is, but that doesn't mean I should intrude on her. She's with her husband." He said.

" Her husband? are you the one saying this? Is he not the pretentious man anymore?" Gideon asked sarcastically.

" He is and more." Abesselom said coldly as he got out of his bed.

"But what if....." Gideon didn't finish his statement as Abesselom disappeared from his sight, leaving only gust of wind behind. "I knew you'll go see her." He muttered as he hides his head in his wings and folded it.

__________ Douglacia's residence.

Lora was out on the corridor chatting with Africh, not knowing that both lady Douglacia and her queen, Azura, had lost consciousness after the section of the premonition. She kept giggling as Africh talked, touching her face every now and then.

"So are you really going to go against your mother and come to Kelvindor?" She asked Africh.

"There wouldn't be the need for that, am sure she'll give me her permission." He replied.

"I'll try and help you find out who your birth mother is, maybe she wants to see you." Lora said, knowing there was a possibility that her mother might know who lady Douglacia was talking about.

"Really, will you? Thank you." Africh said with a child-like excitement. He looked as if he had been waiting for that day.

"Don't mention I'll do my..." Lora was talking when a huge gust of wind blew in the corridor which almost sent her to the ground. Africh felt the wind as well, but he was fast to stand firm and held Lora on time to prevent her from falling.

Lora blushed as Africh's hand held her waist as their bodies got closer with no space between them. Africh help her to stand straight as both of them kept acting shy. "Did you like my gift?" He asked and Lora nodded her head to say yes.

"When will you wear it?" Africh asked again.

" Before we leave." Lora answered as they kept talking forgetting anyone.

Abesselom appeared in Lady Douglacia's room and found both ladies in an unconscious state, with Azura laying in the sofa and lady Douglacia on the floor besides the sofa. He looked around and when he sported the bed, he carried lady Douglacia and send her to the bed.

He closed his eyes for a while, searching for which room Azura's scent could be felt. In a while, he felt her scent in a room he had just by past and he smiled at the revelation. " I think I'll have to stop time for your sake, if not those two might see me." He said as he carried Azura into his hands.

He disappeared from the room and with a gust of wind, he bypassed Lora and Africh on the corridor again. This time, before their body could react to the vast amount of wind, they froze on their spot, as if time and gravity didn't exist.

Abesselom placed Azura on the bed and caressed her hair for a while. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and was about to stand up when he felt another person in the room. He quickly change his appearance to that of the masked man and turn to see who it was, thankfully it was Chesa.
