Chapter 8 - The aura of Light

The Encounter

Isabella is now in the Guardian Court room attending to her task. She had just completed her first spiritual task of cleansing and now waiting patiently for Catherine to show up and tell her what to do next. After a long tiring wait, she tries to take a nap as she dozes of to sleep. Not long afterwards, she went into a trance. In her vision, she saw herself standing in the midst of a high cliff and an unfamiliar figure approaching her with the 'Aura of light' in his possession. The stranger declared. I don't want to hurt you, Isabel! Just stay clear from my path if you don't want me to unleash my wrath on you! Pleaded Isabella. You don't have to do this Will! Let's talk this over with!

Stranger unyielding. It's already too late to turn back, Isabel! You can't stop me. Nobody can! he laughs evilly. I'm going to crush this world! I'm going to make all humans crumble before me! I'm going to make them feel my wrath! Isabella shouted. Just let it go Will?! The human world hasn't done anything to you?! Why do you despise them so much?! I will pretend we never had this conversation if you hand over the 'Aura of light' back to me.

Answered the stranger. Never! I'm never going to hand over the 'Aura of Light' back to you. This is my destiny! No one is going to take it away from me, not even you Isabel! I'm going to destroy the human race and create a world of my own. He continues to laugh evilly. Hahahaha!!!

Isabella declares. I'm not going to let you do this, Will! Now, stop this while you still got a chance!

Get out of my way, Isabel! You can't stop me! I will get my revenge! Exclaimed the stranger. Then, you're going to leave me with no choice!..... She uses her magical ring to forcefully push Will away as he landed unto the ground. She uses the opportunity to try to take the 'Scepter of Authority' from him. An intense battle broke out between them as they kept struggling to get hold of the 'Aura of light', rolling over on the floor and almost getting to the edge of the cliff. Eventually, Isabella succeeded in getting the 'aura of light' from Will but accidentally slip over and fell off the cliff. She wakes up immediately screaming horribly. Noooooooo!!!

Catherine who had just appeared quickly came to her aid. What's wrong child? I heard you screaming? You don't look so good. Do you want to go home and have a rest?

Isabella fakes a smile. I'm fine Catherine. I just had a nightmare.

Catherine worried. If it's a nightmare, then it should be a vision about what's about to take place in the future. Do you want to talk about it?

Isabella speaks up.... In my dream, I saw myself on a cliff and the whole scenario looks like I was in the midst of a war. I saw this strange looking guy walking towards me with the 'Aura of light'. I tried to get the 'Aura of light' back from him but accidentally fell off the cliff. Catherine curiously asked. And do you know who this strange guy is? Isabella answered. Not sure. I can't even remember what he looks like or sound like.

Catherine mutters. I know it must have been really scary for you... she embraces her warmly. You don't have to worry child. You will be fine.

Isabella cries out. Quite Lately, I've been asking myself if my dad was ever wrong in choosing me to replace him? What if I fail in my quest? What if the aura of light falls right into the wrong hands because of me and puts the two realms out of balance?

Catherine assures her. Nothing of such is going to happen dear. You need to believe in your dad and also trust yourself more. There's a reason you were asked to guard 'the Aura of Light'. I know you're more than able to handle this task.

She smiled. Thanks Catherine. Don't worry child. I will take you to someone who might have answers to all of your questions. Really? Replied Isabella anxiously. How about I take you there right now? asked Catherine with a smile. I'm sure you will get all the answers you want. I will love to. She nodded.
