Chapter 114 What the Future Holds 2 (2/2)

I look at William beside me. It is not yet time for me to tell him my secret yet, that I am a descendant of the Atlantian race.

”Um, Will.” I called him carefully. ”Can I have some time with Anna, privately?”

William looked at me firmly then nodded. ”I will be just outisde the tent if you need me.”

”Cecilia, baby. Go play with big brother Will for a while.” Anna said to her daughter.

”Okay mommy.” Cecilia skipped happily towards William. ”Big brother, let's play.”

”Okay.” William stood up gently and took hold of Cecilia's hand. He smiled our way and both of them walked out of the tent.

Anna and I are left inside the tent. There was silence at first. I have so many things that I want to ask about.

”I know you have many question. Please, feel free to ask. It is the least I can do after you have saved my daughter.” Anna encouraged me.

I sighed deeply and hardened my resolve to ask the most important question first.

”Anna, I know you will be surprised with what I will ask first. But keep in mind that I am not an enemy.” I said firmly. ”Anna, by any chance, are you an Atlantian?”

Anna had a surprised face at first but then it became calm. She nodded slightly.

”Yes, I am.” Anna replied. ”This is my first time saying this to anyone. My parents have told me not to tell anyone about our nationality, for the sake of our safety. But looking at you, and reading your fate, I have felt that you are a fellow Atlantian also, correct?”

I nodded as confirmation. ”I am Atlantian on my mother's side. But I was born here, in Alvannia.”

”I understand.” Anna nodded. ”As for me, I was born in Atlantia. I was but a toddler when the war years ago started. We have fled the country safely before it fell into the ocean.”

So Anna was an Atlantian born in Atlantian soil. I wondered what Atlantia looked like back then, before it sank to the bottom of the ocean, before the war happened.

”My magic isn't that strong. As you can see I need some conduit to harness some magic. And all I can do is read the fates of people.” Anna explained.

”That crystal is a conduit?” I asked. I looked at the innocent looking crystal on top of the table. The glowing from a while ago now stopped. Now, it only looks like a normal crystal.

”Yes. This crystal is a conduit that can harness magic from inside of an Atlatnian's body. These crystals can only be found in Atlantian soil. My parents had brought it with them before Atlantia fell.” Anna further explained. ”There are other crystals of different types and colors that serves as a conduit for Atlantian's to use. They can enhance ones magic power greatly, depending which crystal an Atlantian is using.”

This information is something new to me. Of course only an Atlantian would know of such information.

”There are many things I still want to ask. But for now what I want to know was the meaning behind my fortune reading. What happened in my vision?” I looked at Anna worriedly.

”I understand. Then let us talk about what you have seen after I exited your vision. Maybe I can interpret some of them.” Anna said with a calm voice.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
