"Alright. I will tell you all I know about it. The Tribe Leaders will explain the other information. If not, either way, you don't need to worry. We will protect you." He smiled, yet she couldn't see happiness in his eyes.
Hu'er pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes, please."
Hu'er thought that, 'It's better to know more and prepare for what might happen. After all, the scenes I saw were not in the book I read. It means there is some unknown thing happening to my body… like that place I have…. Is it connected to it? or different?' she looks at her Dada, eager to know why she saw such a thing.
Her Dada sighed and explained. "When you're still little, we already have an inkling that you can Foretell. Do you remember the situation about Jiu Lin? or about the situation of your Daddies and the patrols that winter?"
However, those situations were in the book she read. This is different, yet she couldn't tell that and can only nod. "You are called Seer. Only a female can be a Seer. Right now, in our vicinity there is only one old female seer. I will tell you more about the old seer once everything is in order. But I can tell you what will happen and a bit of information about seers. However for now, never tell anyone that you are a seer. You don't need to worry about Song Li. I will give him a warning and tell him what he needs to know once Jiu Lin is back. Jiu Lin will also be fine, we will take care of it."
She felt relieved. 'Since Dada said Jiu Lin is fine, then it will be fine. And… It seems like it's not connected to that place. There are even other seers.'
He hesitated before telling her the bad news. "Our tribe…. Might give you more mates so that they can protect you. If the other tribe knew what you can do…. They might take you away from us."
Her eyes widened. "Take me away…?" She doesn't want to. She might be able to take her mates but her Dada and Daddies won't be able to follow her, that's for sure. And for Hu'er it's the situation that she never wants to happen.
He nodded. "Hmm… Once a seer is identified, all nearby leaders will have a meeting. Either the seer choose her future dwelling, which was a rare occurrence, or the Tribe Leaders choose your dwelling. One of each Tribe will give you a mate that is connected to their Tribe Leader or the strongest unmated beastman they have, in order to protect you and also they get a benefit to be protected by a seer."
She frowned. Protecting someone is not a female's capability in this world. "How can I protect them? How can I stay here?"
"Staying here is easy due to the progression of our Tribe compared to others. Just leave that to us. We will make sure that you will stay here. If we couldn't… We will try to let them promise we can visit and stay there whenever." Her Dada ruffled her hair, comforting her.
He stopped for a while before continuing to answer her other question. "You can foresee what bad and good events will happen to your mates and their family. Mostly, it's a bad situation that needs us to prepare. If you can foresee the event, it will help us prepare for it, avoid, give help or defend it properly. If it's something that we can't change, at least we will be able to make sure that no one will die or have fewer wounds. What you have is too powerful for others that they all need to be a part of it."
He then held her face, his eyes full of worry. "I'm sorry. Your plans will be ruined. You will not be able to spend alone time with your mates. Don't worry, all the chosen mates will go through a test and they will not only be the best or talented, they are also the most trusted beastman that the Tribe leader and our family will choose. They will guard you and protect you with their lives. Your secret will be tied with their lives."
"What do you mean Dada? Am I in that danger?" Hu'er looks down. She didn't want to. She didn't want anyone to die for her or because of her. The past can't be repeated.
He held her face and made her look at him. His eyes soften. "You are too rare. Others might want to take you from us. I don't mean our nearby tribes but…. Those dangerous tribes below. We are here with you. We will protect you. As for your mates, I will tell Jiu Lin and Song Li. For the others…. They will need to be your mate first before we can inform them. If you die, they will also die, that's something we can't change or have the power to control. We, of course, need to warn them before mating with you. I don't think they will change their mind. It's still much better to inform them."
Hu'er nodded. "Yes, please do inform them about it. I will feel bad."
Her Dada hummed. stand up to look at the door. Song Li, haven't arrived yet. He looks back at Hu'er. "I have only encountered two seers in my lifetime. Their mates died at the same time the seer's died. There is one more seer that I know is still living. However, they are very very far away from our tribe. I will tell you more later. All you need to know, that you are safe, and your secret must be kept hidden." Hu'er opened her mouth but he stopped her from speaking and looked at the door.
Song Li arrived, he was breathing hard. "Shun Su and some beastmen came back. I told them to wait first. They need to go immediately to catch up with the traders." He spat all those words with one breath.
"Good. I will talk to them." He tapped Song Li's shoulder.
"Dada.." She stood up, and wanted to follow him, but stopped when she saw her Dada shook his head.
He noticed how rush Song Li is and couldn't really comfort Hu'er. He just said, "Don't worry. I will take care of it. I will call Jiu Lin back too," then he rushed out.
She smiled at Song Li. "Thank you."
