You Cannot Protect Him~
"Elizabeth" the high priestess called to Elizabeth who in return groan in much pain.
How did she know her name, Elizabeth wanted to ask but the pain she was feeling was blocking her thoughts,it was as if someone was removing all her inner organs and ripping them apart. Elizabeth groan loudly but the seer didn't seem to show her any concern.
"My queen,what's happening to you?" Kira tried to understand the sudden pain Elizabeth was feeling. But she was just fine a moment ago.
"How...did yo...you know my name?"
At this moment all the eleven seer who were on the ground enchanting,stopped. The high priestess walked up to Elizabeth, Cristal dragged out his sword ready to attack the high priestess if she dared to walk further and she just froze him on his spot.
The high priestess walked up to Elizabeth and held her hand, immediately Elizabeth felt the pain subsiding within her and she was able to slowly stand to her feet with the help of the high priestess and Kira.
"Why...?"Elizabeth asked.
The high priestess looked at Elizabeth carefully from head to toe as if confirming her identify then she looked back up to Elizabeth eyes and meant the unsure and frightened look of Elizabeth.
"I saw you earlier today and I was expecting you" she said and noticed Elizabeth was both confused and lost."come with me,will you?" And so she led Elizabeth toward the center of the gathering of the eleven seer who still had their eyes shut. Kira didn't go with them but just watched them from afar.
"What about him?"Elizabeth asked talking about Cristal;her personal guard
"That should be least of you worries. Please sit" Elizabeth looked around to find were she was supposed to seat but found non until she realized that she was to seat on the sandy floor so she sat.
"You said you were expecting me?"Elizabeth asked the seer "I didn't see you at the royal meeting as well or maybe I was mistaken"
"I am the seer and nothing completely catches me unaware. I wasn't actually expecting you but I was expecting someone this night" the high priestess took Elizabeth hands and smiled at her to show that she doesn't have to be scared.
"Elizabeth, your coming here was fate and no mistake and the moment I layed eyes on you I could see that you are the One that the spirits are trying to reveal to us."
"I do not understand what you are saying" there was a loud cry coming from outside the building, it was non other than the Queen fighting for their sons in chaos.
"Look at me Elizabeth,do not be scared because I Know that you are trembling and in so much fright,but this is just the beginning of the new war that is about to come to this kingdom. Your existence here alone has opened a new page and you hold in your arms and In your belly the future we once had"Elizabeth subconsciously looked at her belly and her eyes drafted away with fear.
"What does anything have to do with my belly?"Elizabeth asked with fear written all over her eyes and face.
"I can see that you are with child Elizabeth and I can feel his energy coming from you,but you wouldn't be able to save him"
Elizabeth rushed to wrap her hands around her belly In shock and disbelieve "Don't tell me it's going to be..."
"Yes... A male child " Those words hit Elizabeth like lighten struck. She feared that something like this would happen,she did come to enquire whether her child would be a male or a female but now she was even more shocked that the same that that was happening to the other Queens would soon be her fate.
"No, it can't...how can I..." Elizabeth looked at the seer suddenly desperate "please you have to help me,you have to take me out of here"
"My queen!"Kira shouted
"I can't...I won't allow my self carry a child in my womb for months and then watch them take him away from me,they won't spare him" Elizabeth began to sob bitterly.
"It is beyond my power to protect your child,I have no power over your destiny,but I know that the seven great spirits are watching you and they are going to protect you but you cannot protect him,you cannot save him" the seer said and then closed her eyes as if trying to sense something.
Elizabeth kept weeping and shaking as the thought of the day she finally put to birth came flashing into her brain. She couldn't possibly hid the pregnancy from the kingdom and planning on escaping was treason.
"Help me. There must be something you can do? It's just a child,an innocent child with a sealed fate to die, please help me"Elizabeth begged with her all her strength.
The high priestess finally opened her eyes at the same time,the other eleven seers opened their eyes as well. But their eyes weren't normal,but rather their dark pupid was gone and their eyes turned plain white. Their mouths were opened but they weren't saying anything as if their powers were being removed from their bodies. Some of them began making some noises as though they were in pain and couldn't bear it.
Elizabeth stood up unsure of what to do,Kira wanted to run to her but the high priestess shouted for her not to come any where near the circle.
" What's happening?"Elizabeth asked and then tried to escape but couldn't find a way out because there was a protective barrier around the circle. "My queen"Kira attempted to go towards the circle but Cristal held her back.
The spell that the high priestess casted upon Cristal had faded so he was able to stop Kira before she made a big mistake.
"You cannot enter"Cristal said still holding Kira from behind.
"But the queen..."Kira tried to resist. Cristal pointed toward the line drawn around the Eleven seers. "This is the arch circle,if you try passing it without permission you will be burnt to aches" Cristal explained.
