Chapter 67 - 67: Meeting Eu (2/2)

It was a very long time ago, and she was still the newly ordained Divine Witch Circe. She recalls a magnificent Temple in prism crystals that dazzle in the light.

The Divine Sorcerer Rincewind has ended his term and chose this young White Witch to succeed him. She can't help her nervousness and excitement that day, yet the familiar scent has calmed her down.

This is her first audience with this person after her ordination. She doesn't want to act inappropriately in any way or create mistakes.

Not long, a young girl approaches her and offers her a cup of tea and biscuits. The girl has beautiful amethyst eyes that sparkle like gems.

She is about thirteen years old physically. She has golden hair that cascades on her back, and her skin is radiantly glowing.

The girl's presence is utterly enchanting, and she is awestruck. How can someone so beautiful in such plain clothing?

”Thank you. This is my first time. Hi, my name is...” she said.

”You are now the Divine Witch. You must use your new name.” the girl interrupted before she could finish.

”I apologize... I forgot. I am nervous... I am Circe... Yes, it's Circe...” she rambled.

”No worries. Just act normal, and you'll do great. Have some tea to help yourself calm down...” she chuckles.

Circe posed several questions, and the girl didn't hesitate to indulge her. She enjoys the freshly brewed winter rose tea and biscuits she has brought in for her.

The time for her audience finally arrived. Before the girl left the parlor, Circe called out and inquired.

”Thank you. May I know your name...?” Circe asked.

The girl turned back and smiles.

”I am Maidservant Clair. It's a pleasure meeting you, Divine Witch Circe.” she replied.

”See you around, Clair. Thank you.” Circe said.

”Don't worry. I am pretty sure we will meet again someday.” Clair chuckles.

The girl left, and the young Divine Witch Circe realized something. How did the girl know she was the Divine Witch Circe?

She recalls that the Divine Sorcerer Rincewind told her this is a privileged encounter. No one knew she is coming.

She was simply dumbfounded. She made a few inquiries that day and never heard anyone named Clair.

In fact, she is like someone who never existed at all. She is certain she met her, but why does everyone deny her existence?

She looks back at the magnificent Prism Temple once again before she heads back to Middle Realm.

Then, who is that strange girl in the parlor?

Her train of thoughts was interrupted as she recalls.

'Don't worry. I am pretty sure we will meet again someday.'

She can only sigh and let it go. There is no reason to dwell on it as she heads back to the Middle Realm.

Now she is a Divine. She has plenty of time to wait for this so-called someday.

”What are you doing, Eu? I told you to rest. Why are you not resting?” The Divine Lord spoke.

He broke the solemnity of the room and brought the Divine Witch back to the present. She knitted her brows and adjusted her vision to the young girl sitting on the couch.

”I am well-rested enough. Besides, it's already morning.” Eu refuted.

The Divine Witch can't help finding the voice who is conversing with the Lord Foeni very familiar.

'This voice... Where did I hear it...'

As for Lumina, she curled around Eu's neck and disguised as a furry scarf. She is tired and has no intention of joining their conversation.

Meanwhile, the Solas gems glow brighter and adequately illuminated the room. Eu stood up as she welcomes and greets them.

”I assume you are angry. You have questions and needs clarifications...” Eu said as she approaches him.

”Yes, I do. You also lied, and among other things...” the Divine Lord protested.

Eu heaves a heavy sigh.

Eu decided to shift her gaze at the Divine Witch Circe. She is simply befuddled upon finally seeing the infamous girl, Eu.

Circe has heard her name so many times, yet this is the first time she met her in person. She heard about her, but her existence is a mystery.

”Greetings, Divine Witch Circe. I am Eu.” Eu introduced.

”You are Eu...?” the Divine Witch responded in surprise.

She wanted to say this person resembles the mysterious Maidservant Clair from the Prism Temple. For some reason, she can't voice out her concern.

'Who is this person...? And there was also Lumina…'

”Do you know each other...?” the Divine Lord asked in surprise.

He can't help noticing the Divine Witch's surprise tone upon seeing Eu.

'Does the Divine Witch knew her by any chance?'

Still, how was that even possible...?
