"Ugh," Selena grunted as she woke up from her dream. She got up, pulling the blanket to cover her bare chest. In her mind, she thought, "That's right … that happened before when I was a child. I wonder if … that woman, instead of a ghost as I thought she was … maybe, she's a Magi?"
Feeling the absence of Selena's embrace, Clavis woke up. He quickly noticed that Selena was in deep thought.
"Selena, what's the matter? Did you have a bad dream?" Clavis asked as he got up and patted her back.
Turning to him, Selena shook her head. "No, not a bad dream. It's actually quite good! It's just … hmmm," that curious look again.
"What is it?"
"Clavis, tell ," her face drew closer, "Before you all went here to invade, do you happen to go on … I don't know, but go here like, for a vacation or sothing? Or maybe for scouting? Or studying?"
"Huh?" Clavis was taken aback by her question. "Do you an, if we ever visited Earth prior to the night of invasion?"
"Yes! Exactly," she nodded energetically.
"Well, you're right. So Magi do travel to different planets from ti to ti, to gain intel and other things. But sotis, they simply visit for entertainnt or vacations. They have to make sure to blend in though, and never to be found out that we're from a different race".
"I knew it!" Selena exclaid. "It all makes sense now! And that woman, she used magic on . She's a Magi for sure. I recognize the feeling".
"Wait, what happened? And who's the woman you're referring to?"
"Rember the ti you asked if I ever ca into contact with any Magi before? And I told you that aside from the perverts I t and Malum, I never really t anyone?"
"Yes, I rember".
"Turns out, I actually encountered soone! Way before I ca here!"
Clavis' eyes widened. "Huh?"
"Yes!" Selena said enthusiastically. "It was way back when I was a child. There was this woman I t at the park which I thought was a ghost. She had a translucent body, that's why".
"A woman?" Clavis raised his eyebrows. "What did she look like? Do you rember?"
"Of course! My mory never fails ," she smugly answered. "She looked mature and probably around middle age by that ti. Red hair, pale skin, and beautiful red eyes that shined like rubies. And she's beautiful to boot! Her voice was mature but gentle and kind. I didn't get her na though".
"Translucent body? Do you an she looked like she was disappearing?"
"Yes! She said sothing to , too. And gave a gift. It was my birthday that day, and sohow she was able to guess it".
"What did she tell you? And what gift did she give?"
Selena gestured her hands as she explained, "For the gift, she simply pointed to my chest, then warm lights covered us. I felt sothing warm and fuzzy that seed to be going inside my body. I'm not so sure what it was. What I know is … that the light felt comfortable".
Clavis furrowed, thinking all the possibilities of what that light could be. But the very first thing he thought was, "Could it be? The half core inside her? But spiritual cores are supposed to be non transferable. And that woman did it by simply touching a child's chest?" On and on his mind pondered. He fell silent, thinking what else it could have been.
Selena continued, "And as for the thing she said … I repeated it over and over in my mind and wrote it sowhere so I still rember".
Clavs turned to her, looking intently. Selena told him the exact words that the woman said.
"You will get lost … but will be found again. When all the pieces are put back together … You will join the chosen ones on their journey".
Clavis felt a shiver down his spine, and travelled through his entire body. The Sortis family, perhaps it was their holy energy or it could be sothing else entirely, but they always had the special ability to recognize the Supre's words, His prophecies, or any ssage from Him at all. It helped them discern which were real ssages from Him against the fake ones. And this passage that Selena just ntioned … was one of the real ones.
"Thank you for telling ," Clavis smiled at her and caressed her cheeks. "That's a really important ssage. I'll have to ask the Supre what it ans".
"Alright. Are you going to the temple?"
"Yes. I'll have to tell my sister as well".
"Hmm …," Selena looked towards the window. "It's still dark outside. We still have ti cuddle, he he he".
"Pft!" Clavis chuckled. "Alright, just for a couple more minutes".
"Yay!" Selena lounged towards Clavis, pushing him down the bed and embraced him tight. "Cuddlessss …"
Shortly after, the sun rose up and illuminated the once dark room. It was a sign for Clavis to get up and go to the temple as he planned. He was able to do his morning routine this ti and spent breakfast with Selena. Afterwards, he teleported towards the temple and went straight to her sister's praying room.
Clavis told Illumináire everything he found out from Selena.
"Pieces … and journey … what does it an?" Illumináire mumbled.
Then they set out to the Oracle's praying room to ask the Supre for guidance and wisdom to interpret the words given to them.
Clavis and Illumináire prayed earnestly towards the Most High. Much to their surprise, it didn't take that long for the Supre to answer. Perhaps, He had been waiting for them to ask all along. Or perhaps, it was the perfect ti for them to know.
Soft whispers entered Clavis' ears … Whispers in a language unknown to him but Clavis understood it through his spirit. Such was the gift of the Oracle's Chosen Interpreter.
A mont of silence passed by the whole temple as the Spirit of the Supre visited the place, shedding His wisdom towards those who sought it.
Clavis' eyes shot open when everything beca clear to him. The interpretation was given to him! Now, he finally understood what those words ant!
The twins thanked the Supre many tis over for His graciousness and wisdom by offering a song of praise to Him. Afterwards, they went out of the praying room to discuss the interpretation given to Clavis.
"I think we should involve Selena for this one, sister".
"Of course. It was a ssage given to her, afterall".
They quickly teleported to Selena's location and explained the situation to her, and that they needed to talk in private. Selena agreed and they all went to Clavis' office to discuss the matter.
"Selena, I need you to listen carefully to what I'm about to say," Clavis started. "The ssage that was given to you when you were a child, I know what it ans now".
"Yes, I'm all ears," Selena gulped in nervousness.
"The first passage : 'You will get lost … but will be found again'. These words were referring to when you let hatred rule over your heart. But the Supre didn't forsake you. He sent Rania for you to experience grace and kindness in its purest form and wash away the hatred in your heart. And thus, it ca to pass".
Selena's eyes teared up, rembering Rania's kindness towards her.
"Uhm! That's right. If not for her … I probably," she smiled warmly. "So it was all thanks to the Supre, huh? He sent Rania for . He purposely made sure we would et and that … I would be found again".
Clavis and Illumináire nodded.
"We are His children and He would not settle until all are found".
"As for the next passage," Clavis continued,"'When all the pieces are put back together' - this was referring to the truth and mysteries revealed, The pieces were the people that held each piece of truth with them. They will all gather once the Rite of Passage is done. And that's when the truth will be revealed to the Anointed King".
"Rite of Passage? Anointed King?" Selena looked puzzled. "What do you an? We already have a king, right?"
Illumináire's face lit up as if she realized sothing. She looked towards Clavis who nodded in return.
"Yes, that's right," Clavis answered. "But … Calum is not the Anointed King. There's another, the Supre's chosen … and the rightful heir to the throne. He's currently undergoing the Rite of Passage to obtain the blessings of the guardians. But once that is over … the REAL journey will begin. And YOU will join them in that journey".
"What? M-?" Selena gasped. She couldn't believe what she just heard.
