Meeting the seer
Its day break, king Klein had called for the seer who was on his way. And princess Alysia came to greet her father as she always do every morning
Alysia: (enters the private courtyard) Good morning king Dad
King Klein: oh common princess, Dad is enough. (Alysia smiles) How was your night my dear
Alysia: it was okay. And you, Dad?
King Klein: it was good my princess
Alysia: um Dad. There's something I want to tell you. More like ask you
King Klein: ask away, princess
Alysia: Dad, are ghosts real?
King Klein: hahahaha, no, my sweetheart, ghosts are not real
Alysia: really?
King Klein: yes dear, there's no such thing as ghosts
Alysia: then why is there a spirit detector in our castle?
King Klein: um, em, you see (scratches his beard) ghosts were believed to be in existence but they no longer exists
Alysia: You are lying to me.
King Klein : what makes you think so, my dear
Alysia: you are sweating!
King Klein: (sighs) Aly my dear. Sit down dear, let me tell you about it (Alysia sits close to him) you see, ghosts exist my dear. In fact, demons, gods, goddesses, magic, they all exist. Its just that, many people do not know about this and it isn't right to know about it.
Alysia: so, if I hadn't asked. I wouldn't have known about it? What if I had seen one?
King Klein: ghosts are dangerous. Demons, spirits, magic, all of them are dangerous. It's best hidden my dear. I just wanted to protect you from all of this. That's why we have the spirit detector, for protection my dear. Tell me, have you seen one or by chance, felt one?
Alysia: um, no dad, I just said what if, doesn't mean I have seen one
King Klein: are you sure??
Alysia: very sure(smiles nervously)
King Klein: alright, my princess (a guard enters)
Guard: your highness (bows) long may you reign.
King Klein: speak
Guard: your highness, the seer is here
King Klein: (turns to Alysia) Aly my dear, can you leave us pls, I have an important meeting with the seer
Alysia: yes Father, (bows) bye (leaves)
King Klein: (to the guard) let him in
Guard: yes your highness (bows and leaves, the seer enters)
Seer: your highness (bows), long may you reign
King Klein: welcome the seer. Pls have your seat (the seer sits on the floor, cause it's the custom for seers to sit on the floor and live in caves)
Seer: you sent for me this early your highness. Is there any problem
King Klein: you Know me too well, yes there's a problem. The spirit detector got broken and a spirit more like a demon, entered the castle yesterday, at night, precisely. And Alysia was the one to see it. She said it ran quickly past her, more like a shadow
Seer: oh no. It's soon your highness
King Klein: what's soon
Seer: the prophecy, the curse. It's soon
King Klein: soon? I though you said, it will start manifesting when she comes of age
Seer: let me commune with the gods. (Takes a sacred stone and speaks strange words to it) sheleke twarsb lababab atjo'zb fqojan fqojan (takes the stone to his hear) hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lwuakka oqlngyjz nwkoqvrdvn kgdbnsk fqojan (to the King) your highness. It will start manifesting at her coming of age. A year and months from now
King Klein: I thought so
Seer: but. The demon came in. Sent by the most fear god. Thanatos!
King Klein: Thanatos? What does he want now? It isn't now for my death, is it?
Seer: (smiles) King Klein. I will advise you to stop calling death. Remember the curse can be averted
King Klein: I know, but it's not bad to accept some things so as not to be unprepared
Seer: still I say, don't call death to yourself. At least not yet. (Shakes his bag of magic stones) Thanatos sent a messenger to check if the princess is yet of age. You know, the time of the gods life is different from human. (King Klein, nods) since, it's not yet time, he won't cause any trouble. Keep calm
King Klein: I just want my daughter's safety and nothing more
Seer: I know. Isn't postinur doing his job?
King Klein: of course, he is. But you know, the spirit detector is a limit to his job. I need some protection bracelet from you
Seer: understood your highness. I will have to make it and pls send postinur to bring it for u. I will make it before tomorrow
King Klein: thank you, seer. You are have great help
Seer: I'm doing this for the kingdom, your highness. No need for appreciation. (Stands) I will need to take my leave, your highness.
King Klein: understood. Thanks for coming. Guard! Guard!!
Guard: your highness ( bows)
King Klein: escort him to the gate. Give him the stuff, I gave you
Seer: your highness, no need for anything
King Klein: I insist.
Seer: alright your highness (bows) thank you
King Klein: bye (seer and guard leaves) I will do everything in my power to protect my Alysia. Even if I have to die (queen odessy enters) my love
Queen odessy: my king. Good morning
King Klein: how are you dear, how was your night
Queen odessy: all good, your highness. And you?
King Klein: I'm fine
Queen odessy: are you sure? You look worried
King Klein: it's nothing, my queen. What bring you here
Queen odessy: you of course. You didn't come to the bed at night and I'm sure you didn't sleep at all
King klein: I did. But not much of a sleep
Queen odessy: well, you have to sleep now. You need to be healthy for the kingdom. Follow me (drags him out of the courtyard)
King Klein: okay okay. You can leave me now. I'm coming with you. (queen odessy stops dragging him but hold him arm out of the courtyard to the hall way and to the room)
The queen made him had a bath and cuddled him to sleep
