It took me a couple of seconds to gather my thoughts, and when I did, I wished I hadn’t.

All those humans…and they even made them kill each other. Just how many of them had I heard screaming during my time in Lyndor? Fifty? A hundred? Two?

I’d never felt more ashamed of myself. I’d learned to fight to help those who couldn’t fight for themselves. And I’d failed to help the people who’d needed me the most. All of it had happened right in front of my eyes, literally, and I’d been stupid enough not to question anything. I was willing to bet my life that this was the reason why McGraw didn’t want me down in the cells on my last visit to Lyndor. I had felt nothing at all because they were human. I couldn’t feel humans.

“This was brought to us almost a month ago. The first positive test. They’ve improved it since then,” the green-eyed woman continued.

“This is how you got the new recruits?” My throat was completely dry.

She nodded. “Yes. We’ve showed this video to those who cared to listen. Our number has grown noticeably in the last months. People finally see what has been right there in front of them for centuries. Sure, most of them do not care about humans, but they fear the Council’s next steps. After the humans, they will not stop. They will never be satisfied, and they will try to make a slave out of every creature, magical or not, in this world.”

“How is this connected to me?”

I made myself meet her eyes. Sure, guilt and embarrassment made me want to blush, but I needed to look at all of them. I refused to be played for a fool again. And that damn video wasn’t something I could ignore.

“Why don’t you take your seat?” the vampire spoke for the first time. Her voice was low and seductive. Sexy, just like the image of her. I nodded and sat next to Aaron again.

“Only a few years ago, an Oracle came to her powers, and she had a vision of the future. She made a prediction,” the green-eyed woman said.

“Wait. An Oracle?”

I was pretty sure I’d read that a Seer hadn’t developed into an Oracle in the last hundred years. When Aaron mentioned it to me, I thought he was just messing around, trying to get me to the Elders.

“Yes, an Oracle,” she said with a nod. “She saw you, Star. She saw the next Elemental come to her powers, the only one that could put a stop to Samayan’s plans and save us all.”

Oh, such a freaking cliché! I laughed. Save the world? Come on! My life was not a comic book or a superhero story. The real world just didn’t operate like that.

“Well, I’m sorry for wasting both our times,” I said, trying but failing not to feel pissed off. “You’ve obviously confused me with someone else because I most definitely will not be saving anyone.” Except for my family. “I kill, okay? It’s what I do, what I’m good at.
