Chapter 9 - Chapter 5

ALEXA KLAUS

Just as I thought of my father, he came into my room looking really disturbed and worried. In all the years I have known my father, the mighty Glava Klaus, I had never seen him unfazed by anything but here he was looking like he had seen a ghost. "Dad, you are scaring me. What is the problem?" I asked really concerned about him.

He simply looked at me for a long while, tried to speak and nothing came out. Which further got me more scared, I should be two times scared of anything that could make my father scared, I figured. "Alexa, there's a lot happening right now and there's no time to explain but I need you to trust me as a lot depends on it. Do you understand?" he finally spoke in a soft and calm voice, I nodded my understanding and he brightened a little.

"Good, there is a prophecy about our family that would bring about the destruction and end of our family and there is one whose destiny it is to fulfill this prophecy, we don't know which gender he would be but will be known as the Czàiya. He is very dangerous and posses some strange abilities. I just fought with him in my dream and I believe he may attack you or Andras next. Don't hesitate to tell me if he shows up in your dream. His powers is not yet strong, but it's scary that he can reach out and even dream walk. You must be very careful Alexa, I don't want to lose any of you." He said and I felt loved at his concern. Maybe I was just over thinking things.

"I wish you would have told me earlier father, you keep things from me and it's not good. I saw someone in my dream," I was still saying when he interrupted me.

"Can you describe him? Did he say anything?" He asked anxiously which made me draw back and looked at him again. What is he not telling me? He's obviously hiding something, I thought but I have committed myself too much already.

"I can't describe him father, only that he said he is the Czàiya." I said and life went out of my father's face, he didn't say anything, he just quietly left my room.

GLAVA KLAUS

I couldn't believe what was happening, it can't be happening. It's quite unfortunate that after 1000 years I should think that I will be able to face the Czàiya and now that the day is almost upon us, I am as unprepared as the day I killed Nicholai Vlade, I had considered him weak until the very end when he displayed some supernatural abilities that had long been forgotten, we were only told that the very first werewolves had such abilities but they went astray and the gods took away that ability. I really couldn't believe what I saw and knew I was wrong to have rebelled against him, because he was indeed from a unique bloodline.

I had gone in search of what the prophecy meant years ago and was told that someone in my family was the 'Câlvís'. It was all I got, the seer had explained it meant that the fate of the Czàiya was tied to my family.

I called Zika to find out if he was still in the country and asked him to meet me somewhere, I wanted to meet him out of the house so Alexa doesn't meander into my meeting again. I was now certain that Alexa was the Câlvís, I had been careful and decided to keep her close and manage her knowledge. I know she doesn't know much but I feared my daughter's personality would now work against me. She is someone who never does as she is told, so I was pretty certain she would disobey me.

Zika was an expert on sacred history and ancient happenings but he was also human. He has sound mind, and I had given him access to the Klaus library that had everything my father and my grandfather had collected on our kind. Zika walked into the private lounge and was surprised that there was no body there. I seldom leave my building, everything comes to the Klaus building at the heart of Manhattan. I had killed the owner who had refused a good deal I had given him after making him eat a meal prepared with the body part of his children unbeknownst to him.

"Zika, thank you for seeing me on such a short notice." I said standing up greet him as he walked to the table where I sat.

"Now, there is really fire on the mountain" he said sitting down.

"Really? Why would you say that?" I asked surprised by his comment.

He shook his head, "Klaus, you never stand for anyone or anything not even if the American president walked in right now, but you just did for me which tells me that whatever it is that's eating you up, it's quite serious then." He explained and I smiled knowing that he was right, I wish he knew the magnitude of the powers that are aligning against me right now, standing up would be the least of my issues.

"Zika, I will cut to the chase right away. Tell me what you know about the prophecy." I said and Zika took a deep breath before replying.

"Well, the prophecy tells of the coming of a Czàiya," Zika started to say but I interrupted him, that's not what I want to know.

"I know that part already Zika, tell me about the part that has to do with my family. 300 years ago, a seer told me that the Câlvís to the Czàiya was in my family, I later found out it meant the key to Czàiya. Now, what does it mean?" I asked still disturbed.

"Well, there are different translation to the prophecy and the original text was written with certain key words taken from our current language but different languages. But, in my research I have come to this conclusion; the Câlvís means that your family or someone in your family is a forerunner or a precursor to the Czàiya. Some other translation says 'The Câlvís shall appear in the sky to clear the path for he who shall unite both worlds and the Câlvís shall be his Qaddaray Jacayl,' it means fated mate." Zika explained and I wish he was lying.

"So, If I understand you correctly, the Câlvís shall come first, and which ever sex the Câlvís is while determine the sex of the Czàiya. Am I correct?" I asked trying to narrow down my sample size for what I know I had to do next.

"Technically, yes. If the Câlvís is also his fated mate, it presupposes that they will be of opposite sex." He said trying not to be too forward, but I got it.

"So to be clear, if the Câlvís is a male, then the promised Czàiya will be a female and vice versa right?" I asked with desperation in my eyes.

"I guess so," Zika said but I was already standing up to leave, I had heard enough and needed to be somewhere else. But then something else occured to me, I have not been listening carefully.

"This Câlvís and Qaddaray Jacayl, are they the same person of different persons?" I asked still on my feet but he guestured for me to sit down.

"There are different interpretation to the whole prophecy, the one in your library is slightly different from the one I found in Italy." Zika explained and I sat back down.

"In the original text, there was no mention of a Câlvís, it only says that the Czàiya will call forth his Qaddaray Jacayl. But it didn't say anything thing else, it only mentioned a time frame." He explained and I was shooked.

"Did it?" I asked a bit more disturbed with what I was hearing.

"Yes, Arlind was trying to talk about it at the last meeting. For twelve thousand turns of the sun... It means for one thousand years. Selena shall be bound by mrøke... It means the moon shall bound by darkness. I don't understand the other part very well yet, but it says, on the 41st appearance of her lupine, the Czàiya shall summon his fated mate.... The Lupine is the blue moon, and the blue moon is seen once in three years. Now, how to calculate it is different." Zika explained but I had lost it already.

"Zika, what is your point?" I asked tired already.

"Glava, my point is that the prophecy talks about two different characters, one preceding the other, if the Câlvís is in your family, then the Qaddaray Jacayl of the Czàiya is someone else. We don't know yet if the Câlvís and the Qaddaray Jacayl can be the same person." He explained softly and finally touched his coffee.

"I thank so much for your Zika, I can't thank you enough. I wish you safe trip back to Amsterdam." I shook his hand and left but stopped at the door when a thought occurred to me.

"One last thing Zika, Kindly inform me should Alexa comes to visit you." I said and turned not waiting for him to accept. My words were laws and decrees, I was pretty sure my daughter would go look for answers even if I forbid it. Now that she's the Câlvís, I will have to find out who is the Qaddaray Jacayl to Czàiya, it's only a matter of time before we will have a fall out. The worst case scenario is that I have her killed. But if the gods will it and she's not both, then there's hope for her and our family.
