Chapter 326 - The Mythical Beast. (1/2)
Inside of a small and dark shop, the young silver haired elf could be seen seated on a table, opposite to a young dark haired women with a red gem on her forehead.
A crystal ball stood on the table in between them.
The young dark haired women began moving her hand over the crystal, in the motion of a circle.
The little magic lamp in the room began to lighten up and then dim itself down, repeatedly. Wind began gathering and flowing around the room. A cold sweat could be seen forming on the dark haired womans face.
Her mouth then opened and she began to speak.
”Ah… Yes… I see it… A young man… Long Dark Hair, eyes darker and more hollow than the abyss… He seems to be heading somewhere… Alone…? No, I see another… I hear a name… Di- Diabla? A-And another name…”
*Crack* *Crack*
Cracks began forming on the crystal ball as a dark mist could be seen forming inside of it.
”T-The wandering… Devil-”
*Shatter!*
The crystal ball shattered into tiny pieces, letting out a dark mist.
”Seal!” The dark haired woman shouted
Highlighted runes began glowing on top of the table, before the mist dispersed.
Serena hadn't said a single word throughout the whole process. She was speechless and didn't want to disturb the young woman's concentration.
At first she had thought it was another scam or fake psychic. But this girl's powers… They were the real deal. Although it was faint and was just for a moment, just a single moment, she had definitely felt John's presence and something else.
”It's over…” Muttered the psychic as she let out heavy pants.
”Thank you.” Said Serena as she placed her hand over the Psychic's shoulder. A golden flame passed through the edge of Serena's hand over to the Psychic before enveloping her whole body.
”Hm… This is…”
”Yeah… Sacred Flames, it's good for the body and provides top-notch healing.”
”No, I know what it is, I just didn't notice you had it.”
”Yeah, that's pretty much the point.” Replied Serena
”… Thank you…”
”No, Thank you… If it wasn't for you, I'd have really ended up believing that, that idiot was dead…” Muttered Serena
The psychic looked up at Serena's face and noticed tears swelling up in her eyes.
”I see… I'm glad I was able to help… I won't ask you what sort of relationship you have with this person, but I must urge you, if you plan on going after whoever this is, be careful. He's… Dangerous, not of this world… And there's something even more dangerous hidden inside of him…” She muttered
”Yep, that's John alright. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.” Said Serena
The Psychic doubted Serena's words in the beginning, but after looking at the determination in her eyes, she had gained faith. She didn't speak through arrogance but a genuine believe in her abilities.
”Is that so…”
”Mhm, so, I'm guessing I'll have to go to Diabla? The continent? I heard you mention it.” Said Serena
”Yeah… That's right. That way, I'm sure you'll find him.” Said the Psychic. ”He somehow noticed me peeking after all…” She added
”I see… As expected of John…”
The psychic was speechless when she noticed Serena's change in both expression and attitude. When she first walked into the room, all she could feel was a deep sadness coming from her, and yet now… Her air had completely changed.
'It's more lively, just what does it mean to her?'
———————————
No words were being exchanged in the beginning as they were just trying to appreciate the fresh breathe and the natural environment.
They were approaching another village, but planned on passing it without making a stop as they had done for the previous city they had reached.
Behind them was Shera and Satire talking to each other, they seemed pretty excited for the trip, or at least Satire did. Satire was probably the only one who could tell what Shera was thinking.
”Hey, boss. Remember that girl who was with you in the village? The blue grayish hair girl?”
John nodded.
”Did you sort things out with her? Did she not want to come on this trip?” Hexo asked
Upon hearing this, John hung his head and with a slight smile said.
”No, There's someone that needs her more.”
A smile was formed on Hexo's face as he
”There was…”
