"This is crazy, I don't believe you " Daniel stood his ground. No way ! That can never happen, how can the deities sleep?

"Or maybe you don't want to believe her " Asher corrected with a subtle frown on his face.

At this point Daniel would've sassed back but he was too confused at the moment to care.

He threw his hands up "Fine then , let's say all this abomination you just muttered is true..." Daniel hesitated, caught his breath and asked

" Who now gave the prophesy? "

Her ladyship pouted " Simple, the one and only Aurelia "

Asher groaned "It's alright, this just keeps getting better "

Who doesn't know Aurelia? The one and only most controversial seer on planet earth. She could be termed 'Confusion Personified '. Aurelia was so abstruse in all her ways that you can never tell whether she was on the good or the bad side.

Though Aurelia might not have been the mastermind of the Great Purge but she sure pulled the strings behind the scene; adding more fuel to the already burning flames and played both sides perfectly.

Thanks to her, seers were then began to be held in high esteem. Everyone knows seers are the eyes of the gods and Aurelia took that advantage and made both sides play into her hands.

Aurelia's gain and objective in this? No one understood till date.

"That's impossible " Asher refuted this time

"Aurelia has not been seen for centuries "

" True " Daniel supported Asher for the first time ever since his existence. A gesture which Asher didn't notice cause he was engrossed with this mystery.

Seers were specially gifted humans and though they do have an incredible longevity

but their average lifespan without an accident is between a hundred to a hundred and twenty years. Nor of them makes it past that time save Aurelia who is said to have lived for more than two centuries now.

According to rumours, they claim Aurelia is a goddess of chaos who came to earth in human form , but of course that's just a baseless hearsay.

" When was this prophecy given ? " Asher queried, his face expressionless.

Her ladyship's brows drew together in concentration as she thought hard " To be precise, that should be fifty years ago."

Daniel facepalm " This is stupid, I wasn't even born yet then " He swore under his breath but Asher with his super hearing heard it all.

Even though Daniel was in reality twenty six years old but he actually looks sixteen when you turn a blind eye to his muscular build.

It was no secret that werewolves have decelerated aging : their ageing would slow down drastically once they reach twenty.

To the extent that an older werewolf looks anywhere from a few years to a few decades younger than they are.

But the downside of this was once a werewolf quits phasing or shape-shifting for quite a long time, he or she could go back to ageing as a normal human being would.

So compared to Asher, Daniel was still a kiddo .

"kiddo?" Asher mused, remembering the first encounter he had with Daniel during the general council meeting.

The meeting had all coven, clan and pack leaders assembled together and during the process of Daniel expressing his own opinion on a particular issue the council was deliberating on, Asher had shut him down and called him a ' kiddo ' meaning he was a greenhorn and still inexperienced for this kind of situations.

But as werewolves would always be hot-tempered, Daniel didn't take the insult sitting down and had equally retorted with a

denigratory term, hinting that Asher was the son of a madman, a traitor who had joined forces with the Dark witches during the Purge.

And that was where their bad blood with each other officially began, but it seems destiny had much more than an argument in-store for them both.

Daniel gulped " What was the prophecy?" his

hands were clenched tightly at the side hoping she wasn't about to tell him that his mate was destined to destroy the world.

On the other hand, Asher's stomach was clenched in a knot . Without foretelling, he could already tell where this all was heading, " The usual ' She's destined to destroy or save the world ' cliché tales."

Her ladyship answered smugly " She's destined to be the hope "

Asher winced internally, waiting for more to come but after a few seconds of hearing nothing, he asked surprised "Is that all? "

"Yes, she's destined to be the hope for us.What more were you expecting? " She asked them with her usual smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.

She was still seated comfortably in her seat unlike them both who had bolted to their feet earlier from shock.

"I was definitely expecting more " Opined Daniel " Unless that is not all " he accused, hinting that she was hiding more facts from them.

"I second that " Concurred Asher with a smirk on his face " You only told us she is a hope to you guys but you didn't emphasize ' how she is going to be the hope ' or did I hear wrong ? "

The satisfied smile on her lips dissipated slowly and was replaced with a scowl, sensing the subtle change in her environment " I think I've overstayed my welcome, it's high time I left already " She decided and rose to her feet, preparing to leave when Daniel blocked her path.

"I don't think we've come to a conclusion yet " He replied her and tried to grab her but she made pain ripple through him causing Daniel to fall on his kneel.

Unfortunately, it was two against one.

Asher from behind, used the air part of his ability and slammed her against the wall giving Daniel a chance to recover as he scrambled to his feet.

Her ladyship immediately summoned numerous tongues of fire towards them but Asher was quick to react.

He swiftly manipulated the humidity available causing a large stream of water drops to rise in the air dousing the flame completely.

A look of surprise crossed her face but Asher mocked " I guess someone forgot I've got the elements in my hands "

Seething with anger she began to chant and rave spells like a madwoman but Asher choose that moment to order,

"Sabrina now! "

On cue, Sabrina stormed into the room with a confident and charming gait.
