Am I the prophecy?
Alysia had just finished her economics class. She went straight to take a shower, got dressed and wondered where postinur was. Alysia went straight to the library to do her assignment and of course satisfy her curiosity. She asked for her lunch to be brought in the library and went straight to the library
In the library she searched frantically for the prophecy book. A maid entered and dropped her food comprising salsa, fries, fruits and juice. She doesn't eat much and had already told the maid what she wanted.
At last, Alysia saw it, but it's too far up the shelf.
Alysia: Now I wish I was tall.
She climbs the shelf and gets it, didn't bother about the ladder
Alysia: I really need that preparation class, look at what I've done. Climbing the shelf instead of using a ladder? A proper lady isn't supposed to do that. If mom was here, tsk, I would really get some good scolding. Thank goodness, she's not here!
Alysia blows dust away from the book as it is full of dust and sees the image of what Mr Herrick described. A flower wearing a crown and a sword besides it
Alysia: Time to get digging into this book
(Opens the book) written in Greek? Thank goodness I earnestly learnt Greek and listened in Mr Green's classes.
Alysia gets to read them in Greek and was occupied with the reading that she spends hours reading it and didn't notice postinur appearance
Postinur: Hey little princess. (No response) princess? Aly? (Takes the book from her)
Alysia: Hey! I was reading that!
Postinur: That you couldn't notice me?
Alysia: That's my assignment, postinur, give it back!
Postinur: I will give you, If you will tell me what it's all about
Alysia: No
Postinur: Then u don't want the book
Alysia: Fine, I will tell you. Just pls give it to me. I'm almost done with it
Postinur: when did you start reading
Alysia: at noon
Postinur: it's Evening, Aly, late evening, an hour and a few minutes remaining until your bedtime!
Alysia: yeesh! I forgot to eat my lunch
Postinur: Why? I won't let you read this book again
Alysia: Oh postinur please! (Tries to take it from him, postinur floats away)
Postinur: What's the book about, anyways (looks at it) what?!! The prophecy book. How did you come about this!
Alysia: Chill! Stop looking scared. You're a ghost, you can scare people if you reveal yourself to them. So why should a mere book scare you. Besides, it's an assignment
Postinur: An assignment??
Alysia: yeap. Mr Herrick gave me as an assignment. We dealt on Oberon's history and he taught me about the prophecy. I guess you know nothing about it (smirks)
Postinur: Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Why don't you tell me about it? Hmm, little Aly
Alysia: When I tell you about it, I'm sure you will stop calling me little because you will be surprised at how knowledgeable I am.
Postinur: Go on
Alysia: I prefer saying it as a story. Are you ready? (Postinur nods) Long long ago
Wow, he's so focused (chuckles)
Postinur: common!
Alysia: (giggles) Long long ago. In Oberon kingdom, Thanatos ruled the humans and dealt heavily with them. He mated a human and the offspring became powerful. There were many other gods mating with humans and having offsprings of both human and godlike blood
One day, The god of light's son, obstructed his darkness and woke his mother up, Nyx from sleep. Thanatos was not happy and fought with the god of light's son. Whose name wasn't revealed.
Ps: Thanatos is the god of death and Nyx is the goddess of sleep
Postinur: Continue, pretty princess
Alysia: (smiles) so they were tied. Because they had equal power. But then the god of light promised Thanatos that one day, he will be defeated. One day, a girl, particularly a princess will defeat him. So the Prophecy moved from generation to generation and now I know of it. But the princess if she doesn't use her powers well, will be the cause of her parents death, the fall of the kingdom and definitely, Thanatos will regain his authority on Earth. Because according to the book, all the gods and goddesses are ruling the earth together currently. Each having their various duties.
Thanatos is waiting for the princess to be defeated in order to rule over humans and deities altogether.
Such a selfish god he is!
Postinur: Bravo (applauds) you know so much now. I will stop calling you, little. And so you know, I knew all this before (smirks)
Alysia: What?!? And u made me waste my saliva telling you everything? You annoying ghost! (Makes an attempt to slap him but her hand passes through him)
Postinur: hehehe. You forgot I'm a ghost?!? I don't get hit by humans, hehehe
Alysia: crazy postinur. (Remembers something) you are a bad friend, you know
Postinur: What did I do this time?
Alysia: You left today without telling me where you went (puts her hand on her waist)
Postinur: I'm sorry, Aly. I went to see my mom and my baby brother
Alysia: Really? You have a baby brother? How many months old
Postinur: (chuckles) I mean my little brother
Alysia: Oh!
Postinur: let's sit on the floor, lemme tell you my story (they both sit) I am a prince of Lystra, well, at least I was
Alysia:Lystra kingdom? That's our neighboring kingdom
Postinur: Yes. I was my mom's pet. Dad died when I was just four years old. He died mysteriously. Even today, I don't know how he died.
Mom took over the throne Because I was too little to take over. When I turned eighteen, ripe enough to be king, the day before my coronation, I was strangled to death.
The thing is, I just newly discovered that I had fire magic, so I couldn't use it, I was even killed unawares
Alysia: Wait, you have fire magic? Cool!
Postinur: Yes (activates it by lighting his pinkie finger)
Alysia: Wow (in awe)
Postinur: Yes. Anyways, I got killed.
I think by Thanatos messenger because I had just known my destiny, which is to be by the side of the prophesied princess to guide and help her always
Alysia: Wait, you mean…
Postinur: Yes. You are the prophecy
Alysia: You are joking right?
Postinur: Yeap. Of course.
Like how will this pale girl be the prophecy(smirks)
Alysia: Tsk, I can defeat you in a sword practice if you were human. Only that I don't have powers.(pauses)
But, why are you guiding me
Postinur: You ask too many questions for your age, Ally. Besides it's almost bedtime, your personal maid will be here soon (enters maid, Alysia quickly gets up)
Personal maid: Your majesty (bows)
Alysia: Pretend like you didn't see me on the floor, I don't want my mom to know about that!
Personal maid: Yes your majesty. I promise she won't know about it.
Alysia: Good. You came to call me to sleep, right?
Person maid: Yes, your majesty. Your bed is made. (Looks around, takes the train of food)
Alysia: Don't Tell mom I didn't eat either. I just lost appetite
Personal maid: Understood, your majesty (postinur chuckles)
Alysia: Shut up! (Referring to postinur)
Personal maid: I'm sorry your majesty!(head bowed)
Alysia: No not you. I mean, let's go (walks out, postinur follows, laughing. Maid follows too and backs the library door)
Alysia went to bed and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Postinur kept watch over her, all through the night, one thing he enjoys doing because he gets to look at her beautiful face to his satisfaction
