Chapter 20
âWhy is there some gate right here?â Luna asked Storm.
âI honestly have no clue,â Storm admitted. âA gate entering a tiny mountain. Just like in my dream.â
Three small girls, about nine years old, came out of the gate, all of them scrambling.
âWOLVES!â the tiny one with pale eyes screamed. The other two screamed at her. âTiny little children.â Storm thought.
As they proceeded to run into the mountain, another small girl ran out of the mountain. âOPAL!â Snowfluff snarled. The girl called Opal froze in her tracks. She was trembling so hard, Storm thought she would literally fall over. She thought, âisnât she familiar?â
âDaffodil,â Opal whispered.
A small dove swooped out of the mountain in one majestic blink.
âDo not harm her,â the dove thought-said.
âBut she was the reason for all the terrible things that happened to me and all my family members!â Snowfluff cried and snarled, âsheâs the reason there are no more golden wolves!â
âIâll never forgive her!â Flurry joined in.
âShould I join their complaining?â Storm thought. âIâll just stay out of this one. What did Opal do?â
âBut you must, for she will train you-â The doveâs voice was cut off by Opal shrieking something out.
âSiren! âYouâre all right!â Siren ran over to Opal with one swift hug, âSiren Sala De.â
Her wonderful smile turned into a cold glare at Daffodil. âWhy didnât I remember her?â she snarled.
âI put an illusion on you.â The dove said sadly, âyour emotions would distract you from helping them with the prophecy.â
âI canât forgive her!â Snowfluff continued, âshe took everything from me!â
âWELL, WHAT DID SHE DO!â Siren shrieked.
This was followed by cold silence.
âHow did you hear the wolf?â Opal asked Siren sternly, then Siren hesitated, and said, âI sort of heard it, as if it is in our own language.â
âYou heard it? You are crazy,â the blonde girl scoffed.
âI heard it,â Siren said, with a bit more confidence in her smooth voice.
âI believe you,â the young girl with pigtails confirmed. Siren smiled. âI knew you would,â she said with a voice like honey.
âVery well,â Daffodil said, âthen Siren Sala De is ready for the prophecy,â
âWhat prophecy?â Siren asked innocently.
âThe one your father wants to stop,â Luna snarled.
âWhat prophecy?â Storm asked. âI canât believe I didnât know this.â
âOh, this cool prophecy about these crystals and-â Pigtails stopped mid-sentence.
âHow did I know that?â She asked the dove.
âYou are ready for the prophecy,â the dove said, âPlease, it is nightfall. The Swift Spirits will be coming out. They are native to this mountain range and bring hopelessness and fathomless emptiness to within a mile of where we are,â She explained.
âWell, please just let me not have to listen to you,â Snowfluff begged.
âOh well,â the dove sighed. Sirenâs eyes turned a fluorescent green.
âThe reunion has come.
A single one has come.
Trust the dove.
The one who betrays you is the one you love.â
The look on Snowfluffâs face was so contorted with terror that Storm wanted to climb the windiest most-scary mountain peak and jump from it, and then attempt to land the hazardous jump.
