My place

"What?" Alicia's lips parted. Shock and disbelief filling her eyes as she stared at Zeke wordlessly for some time, letting what he had said sink into her mind.

"After I was forced to imprison my own brother in the dungeon, the former prophetess came to me." Zeke started explaining even before Alicia could ask him to. "The prophetess told me there would be a woman who will be stronger than the witch-turned-vampire I just killed. But this woman in the prophecy will not turn out to be an enemy. The prophetess said the prophesied one is the one who will truly unite the vampires and witches as one nation. She said this woman would become the most powerful female vampire. That prophetess also told me that I would be the one who would give that kind of power to that woman…" Zeke trailed off and paused for a few moments as he held her gaze. "She said this woman would be the one who will take my place in this world." His tone was low as he stared meaningfully at her.
