"Have a seat King O'Malley" he said.
"I understand you? Please call me Michael."
"My father taught us many languages. My Sister lives in your country now. She is the one to send your men to me."
"I am grateful."
"My name is Maximum you can call me Max and this is my lovely wife Elizabeth." Max said.
"Please, Call me Beth." She said.
"It's a pleaser to meet you both." I had a good feeling of these two.
"Was that your daughter Princess Cindy that help rescue me?" I asked.
"The woman who rescued you is my daughter. Her title is Oracle for she see all. She will never inherit the throne. Her Twin brother Henry will take over as King oneday."
"I see, then I must apologize for thinking bad thoughts about you. In our land we do not send our women to rescue men."
"Bad thoughts" Max laughed, "My daughter is her mothers child. Her mother pretended to be a boy to save the world. Cindy takes her job as the Oracle very serious. There is no way I could tell her what to do."
"I see, my fairy has my gratitude." Michael said.
"Fairies? In this country fairies are evil doers. Do you see my daughter as one?" Max asked.
"Fairies in my country are beautiful creatures they may be of mischief but they are not evil. The tricks this fairy played kept me alive. I think she was god sent."
"I see."
Cindy knocked on the door. "Can I come in your Majesty."
"Come in my daughter." Max said.
As she walked in my breath was taken away. She was as beautiful as she was in my dreams.
I watched as she talked to her father. Then my dream came back to me. 'I am yours my love but only if you wait for me, if she claims you I must follow another path. So wait for me my love.'
Is she really my love. How can I ask someone who a whole country relies on to stay by my side. Could I walk away from someone who makes me feel whole?
He was lost in his thoughts of his little fairy.
♡♡♡Cindy♡♡♡
All night she struggled with what to do about the path she must take. It was still unclear in her mind.
She could not talk to Mabel again. For Mabel was helping Lillian with her powers. Cindy knew that her time as Oracle was coming to an end and that Lillian would take over. She would also become queen one day.
As she walked from her little cottage to the castle she ran into O'Connor sitting on a fence watching the horses.
"Hello" She said.
"Good day lassie. Thank you again for helping us find our king." he said.
"What are your plans now?" she asked.
"Travel home and arrest the belimey traitor who did this."
She touched his arm:
Two boys age to be about 8 playing in a field of clovers. 'You will never defeat me Michael' 'Carl you beast I will let the leprechaun drag you away in your sleep' They play laughing together.
Next two boys age 10. 'Carl why must the banshees take her away.' 'Michael it's her time to go. No one can out run away from their own time.'
Next a 16 year old hiding in a closet. 'Michael come out. It's time to be crowned king.' 'I'm scared Carl, what if I am not good enough. What if I can't rule as my mother did?' 'You will be a great leader and I will be by your side. The fairies and Leprechauns have blessed you. You will be a great king.'
Cindy fell back. "Your name is Carl?"
"Yes, how did you know?" he asked.
"I seen your life with your friend. It was a good life with happy times and sad times."
"I see, I forgot you are a seer that you can see the past by touch. Can you also see the future?" he asked.
"Sometimes, I don't always get a clear picture because the future can change by choices we make. Let's say you choose to go right and there was a log in your way. You could choose to climb over or go back and until you make that choice I can not tell what the outcome may be. Like with your king I could see the danger he was in and knew the water was safe and the wine was not but could not tell what would happen to him because he had not made a choice to drink either yet."
"I understand."
"I need to go see my father now. It was a pleasure to talk to you Carl." She smiled as she walked on her way.
As she walked into the castle she was met by her brother Henry. "Father is waiting for you in the study." he said.
"I know, Henry can you go keep Lillian company. She is on the Oracle's hill. Mabel will be busy today and will not visit so don't let her waste her time waiting."
"Ok, I'll go. I wish you would tell me if I have a chance with her or not."
"You'll have to just try and see." She smiled.
She knocked on her fathers door. "Can I come in your Majesty?"
"Come in my daughter." he said.
The red hair man was sitting on the couch drinking tea with her mother. She walked over to her father.
"Father, I have come to inform you that I must leave with these strangers. I can not tell you why yet just that the path I must take is with them."
"I know my daughter. Mabel told me once that it would be your destiny to travel to a far off land. I knew this day would come. Tonight find me and we will talk more before your journey begins."
I turn to look at the handsome man sitting there. He looks like he is lost in thought.
"King O'Malley, I believe my daughter will need to speak with you. Why not take a walk in the gardens." my father said.
Michael got up and held out his arm for me to take. I smile and lead him out side.
