Chapter 336: Side Story 4: The Prophetess, Ada

MOON (Contd)

Ameneris’ company objected, but seeing her seriousness, they all left.

Meanwhile, the woman enveloped in smoke smiled, staring at her. "Greetings to the great Luna of the Screamers Pack."

Even naked, she was unashamed. Her saggy breasts were out for all to see, although the smoke slightly obscured some of her private parts.

With great difficulty, Ameneris encircled the woman, each step a torturous one owing to her condition.

"I do not believe we have met personally. And yet you seem to know my identity so well."

No one knew that Ameneris was the Luna of the pack as many believed her father to still hold power. And yet, this woman seemed to know that.

Ada cackled. "I’ve been waiting for you for four years now, Luna. It would be a shame if I don’t know who you’re."

"You’ve been waiting for me?" Ameneris repeated with a scoff.

"Yes!" The woman exclaimed harshly, "and now you’ve come to me... but it’s already far too late. The misfortune that has been prophesied has already started."

Ameneris squinted at the woman. "By my misfortune you must mean my inability to bear a child. Indeed, that misfortune has long started." Ameneris said sarcastically, but Ada’s only response was a billowing laughter.

The laughter was so loud that it rolled off like thunder caressing the clouds.

"The prophecy of your barrenness is hardly a misfortune my lady. It is a blessing for many shall bear children, and yet before their very eyes, their children’a life would be taken away with a knife to their throat."

Ameneris stood rooted in one place, while Ada slithered towards her on her hands and feet much like a snake. "Would you prefer that, my lady?" Ada said slowly, "Would you prefer to have a child only for its life to be taken away from you?"

Ameneris remained unsmiling. "If ever I had a child, no one would ever take their life."

Ada grinned, exposing brown teeth. "I’m afraid that is not for you to decide, Luna. Count your blessings while you still have them."

Ameneris swallowed, and then mustered the courage to ask the question she had meant to ask. "So I am never going to have my own child?" She asked.

Like the speed of light, Ada jumped off the pavilion, her eyes peering into Ameneris’ like she was searching for some hidden truth never spoken of.

The starting contest lasted for a while, and all of a sudden, Ada screamed like a banshee who was witnessing her own horror, and then she reared back and began to walk away from the Luna.

"It would have been better if you never had a child."

Ameneris’ eyes widened. The wording of the other woman’s words were strange. It almost hinted that Ameneris would have a child.

Ignoring the woman’s earlier strange scream and the fact that the woman was avoiding her like she was the plague itself, she went after her and grasped her by her bare arm.

"Do you see... a child in my fortune?"

Indeed... Ameneris didn’t believe in gods and spiritualities. But the moment a drop of hope fell at her side, she was ready and willing to become a believer.

That was just how much she wanted to escape her current prison. That was how much she longed for her dreams.

"Calling it fortune is overestimating your abilities, my lady." Ada gritted, prying the Luna’s fingers off her bare arm.

"So there’s a child in my fortune!" Ameneris screamed, "I will be with a child! Right?!"

"A girl in fact." Ada said in a dreary voice, while Ameneris broke into a smile.

But something was wrong... why did it feel like Ada was speaking a curse instead of prophesying her good fortune.

"Will I die during childbirth?" Ameneris questioned further, "even if my death will be the price, believe me I am not at all hesitant to die."

Ada stared at her grimly, "If only you would die after bearing that child, then fate and fortune would have truly smiled at you."

Ameneris stared at Ada. The woman confused her. If she would not die during childbirth as her words has assumed, then was that not a good thing.

Ada seemed to recover from her prophecy haze as she swiftly changed the subject. "The reason why I’ve been waiting for you for four years has nothing to do with you brarreness or lack of."

Ameneris was thrusted into realty. Her mind had wandered so far that she had become buried in a world where she held her child... her daughter as Ada has spoken of.

She had even named her Zina as she had always dreamt she would name a daughter.

It had been a brief dream, a very sweet one, but now it was finally over.

"Why have you been waiting for me then?" Ameneris asked in an almost despondent tone.

"The gods long sent me a message for you, you must absolve the powers of the rune of the screamers pack."

Ameneris reared back at that. The Pack Runes was a device that contained the core power of the pack, almost rumoured to be magical in fact. It had been passed down by her ancestors from centuries back.

"What?" She repeated.

"The evil ones will take it, my lady." Ada hissed, the woman seeming to be trapped in a haze, "they will take it and will take the pack as well."

Ameneris stared at Ada confused. "The rune is highly protected. Not even my husband can access it. I am the only one that can reach it... together with my father. And we can’t be coerced into giving it. It has to be voluntary on our own part."

Ada looked at her furiously, "Only foolish men believe they are well guarded my lady. Your pack might have already been compromised as we speak, you must guard the rune with your life, and the best way to do so is to assimilate its powers."

"Assimilating it could kill me!" Ameneris objected. No one had ever done that among their ancestors, and why was she even listening to a woman who she never believed in right before she spoke of a daughter being in her fortune.

But before they could say any more, her personal guard bursted into the room.

"A signal was sent my lady! The pack is under attack."

"The gods, it’s already happening." Ada muttered under her breath, "this tragedy will shape many a lives across Vraga. From as far as the GreenLands, to the Southern Dessert, and then the cold North."

But Ameneris was no longer listening. She was already bolting for carriage.
