Heavens knew she needed that right now. It's all been too much for her. Before either of them knew what was happening, sound of clapping reverberated everywhere.
They disengage and looked at everyone as the clapping slowly died down. The older lady walked up to her and held one of her hands while looking her in the eyes.
"My name is Esmeralda Van Hooke, personal trainer of the royals" her eyes held a hint of sadness and a charming smile.
One that could heal and calm a heart irrespective of the hurt. It was like a soothing feeling and Isabel couldn't help feel a sense of closeness for this lady.
"Tell me young one, do you really know what happened to the King and Queen?" She asked breaking Isabel from her almost dreamy state.
"Yes I do Lady Esmeralda" she said politely.
"Esmeralda or Ralda is just fine my child. No need to he formal" she chided Isabel.
"Okay, yes I do Ralda" she said earning a warm smile from Ralda.
"How so if I may ask? It is difficult for them to believe but I believe you. You see it is needed to keep hope alive and strong. Your birth parents were loved by all."
"For as long as I can remember, I have been having these dreams. But from the age of ten it was flashes, never a coherent image. Then when I reached sixteen, they became clearer but just dreams of war. Fighting, killing."
Ariana and the other guardians exchanged a look at themselves.
"The Queen was like that. You have the gift of premonition" Ralda said to her.
"Well, all those years, whenever I had these dreams, I wouldn't be able to hear the voices, but when I turned eighteen, I could hear their voices" her gaze travels to Jasper and he nodded, urging her on.
"It wasn't until recently I started seeing other part of the dream. It showed me a castle, a big door and a king. He was silver haired, he paced outside a big door not calming down, then I saw what was behind the room."
She paused then continued after some seconds. "A lady in labour, she was the queen and soon lightning all around her and outside. The king kept on pacing till someone rushed to him to announce a new prophecy."
"You saw your birth" Vita said out loud than to herself.
"I saw Lady Phoebe, Vita, Olivia. I saw all the guardians. So for those few days I saw all that transpired after my birth, including the gifting of my powers. Then when my mum, I mean Aunt Elizabeth pushed me through the portal, I had another dream."
She paused and took in her audience.
"I saw what happened after all the guardians had been sent through the portal by the queen. Claudius and the dark mages, he blamed the king for stealing Queen Isabella from him. They fought till he decided to seal the king away into the Queen's master orb."
"That deranged delusional mongrel" Ralda cursed.
"According to them, no human or demon could escape it. He intended on sealing the king and hoped she would surrender herself to him. As he pointed the orb at the king, with tears in her eyes, she used her last power and appeared in front of the king, hugging him as the dark energy from the orb sucked them in."
Some of her audience had tears in their eyes as they listened to her story.
"Definitely not expecting that outcome, Claudius threw the orb on the floor, but it was too late, it had sucked them in, trapping them both till this day. When I opened my eyes, I was in Gandera."
"You have your mother's gift, you are a seer, child you have seen what happened in the past. The queen would have been proud."
As Ralda said that last sentence, the tears she had been holding in flowed freely down her face.
