Comes the week of the engagement.The Merania duchy was bustling with celebration of their elder daughter's engagement.Maids rushing over to clean the floor.Decorations been set up.Rosalind was heavy loaded with work of looking at her engagement preparations in the Royal hall.
"elder sister, come play .You have been in your study for half a day."Rosie,her younges sister yelled
"Rosie what did I say about running and yelling., You are the ladies of Marenia duchy,who must withhold their dignity everywhere."
"sorry elder sister, but today will be the ,last day you will be here to play with me.Without you I will be forever lonely. "
"Ohh Rosie, you other sisters are here."
"but bu-but ,they are not fun like you. They always make me mad .They won't give me cookies like you do."
"Oh I see, now I know why cookies from the kitchen are wanishing, so it was you is it Rosie?"
"grad- grandma",
"Greetings to lord Rositta" - They blowed unison to their grandmother.
"Grandma, I didn't take the cookies from kitchen, sister Rosalind just pities me gives it to me as a treat for my wellbehavior."
"mmm...Is that so.... alright I was told the kitchen has set up your cookies and want you to give them."
"What... grandma ,Iam going the the kitchen now."
"Rosalind, come it is time for you to get ready,you must now Iam really proud of what you did"
Lord Rositta, takes a key from her purse.and signal Rosalind to follow.They came across a door where the ancestral history has been kept.They both goes inside the room.Lord Rossitta opens a document
"Rosalind,this is a treaty between our clan and his majesty your grandfather have signed it even before were born. "
A sigh escaped Lady Rositta,very fondly she looked at granddaughter and said
"Your grandfather promised marriage to majestry between oru clan and his 1st born,in return he will not seal our power.You must have known the legard of our clan,"
"A few decades back the goddess have given the power of heaIing to our clan as a gift for the good deeds our ancestors have done.This power was so powerful that his majesty was afraid of our growth and wanted to dethrone us ,so a war was waging in our lands ,to protect all of, we only had this way."
Lady Rositta, took a tear shaped necklace and gave it to Rosalind
"This will awaken your power Rosalind.It is passed on to generations in our clan.After your fathers death this power has been handed over to you.Always wear this around your body it will protect you"
On wearing the necklace, a light started emitting from Rosalind body.She felt excruciating pain ,like it is tearing her heart and limbs.
On opening her eyes she was back in her room,with Anna crying.
"Lady, you are awake..ho..ho.."
"wipe your tears Anna, iam quite alright "
Anna wiping her tears ran outside and called
"Madam,Lady is waking up".
"Rosalind,my daughter congratulations. The goddess has chosen you." Rosalind mother embrace her in a loving way.
"Rosalind, now you have the power of our ancestors.You can heal others with your power but you must always remember, you can only heal and not save the dead,once you do, it will take a portion of your life and this is the power his majesty truly fears."
"yes I understand Grandmother.The power given to me ,I will cherish and will use it for good."
"Good now get some rest , tomorrow will be your engagement party and a new life begins "mother and grandma said goodbye and left Rosalind to rest
