The silence was so oppressive, we all felt a physical force that that keep us all on ground. I couldn't control my heart as it continue pounding heavily in my chest, the sound from their steps echoing in my mind like a drumbeat.
The witches moved so closer to me, their veils rustling softly,
As they reached at my side one of them raised a hand, she pointed ber finger towards me.
"Aria," she said, her voice felt like a sigh.
"You have been chosen."
I felt scared as they moved closer to me, their eyes were so fixed on me with an unnerving intensity.
"What.... do you want from me?" I asked, my voice were breaking
The leader from the witch grasped my arm, her grip was like an ice.
"We are taking you away, Aria. The Goddess has requested for you."
And with that, they carried me away,none of those sitting even my father could sense while I was dragging away. I was dragged into a darkness so complete, it was as if the very light itself had been extinguished. I was at the hand of the ghost witches, and I don't even know what is going to happen next.
We moved through the heavy darkness, the witches' grip on my arms so tighter I couldn't help but stumbled, my feet struggling to keep pace with their gliding steps. The air was thick with an unfamiliar energy, and I couldn't help but felt scare as I was with them.
Finally, we reached our destination , we saw vast stone door, adorned with ancient carvings. The lead witch raised her hand again , and the door creaked open, it revealed another chamber beyond.
"Enter, Aria," she said to me again, her voice felt again like a sigh on the wind.
I first wanted to resist, as my heart melt pounding in my chest. But the witches' grip was so tightened, and I was asked to move forward, into the house.
The room was really vast, its ceiling lost in darkness. The walls were lined with an ancient artifacts, and the air from there was heavy with the scent I never smell. As I looked at my front, I saw a figure sat upon a throne-like chair, she was shrouded in shadows.
"Welcome, Aria," she voiced out, her reverbearates through the walls. "I have been waiting for you." She said again.
As I went closer, she slowly stood from where she was sitting, her aura fill the room.
She stood before me, her face revealed it all, her terrifying glory. I couldn't get hold of my mind as it was reeling in shock.
It was the Goddess herself, her eyes were burning with a power that seemed to flow through my soul.
her eyes were like two burning stars. I couldn't help it but scare of everything about herf.
She raised a hand, and I got scared, I thought she want to hurt me, but, instead she simply touched my forehead as she caress my hair.
"Aria, the daughter of the moon," she whispered, her voice were really like a gentle breeze.
"You have been chosen. A purpose that only you can fulfill."
I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice but it kept breaking. "W-what purpose?" I stammered.
The Goddess smiled,
"You will be the key to unlocking an ancient power. A power that will bring balance to the world."
I was totally confused and fear warring within me. "I-I don't understand."
The Goddess's changed, she continued. "You will understand me very soon, Aria. For now, know that you are the chosen one by the gods themselves. And you will fulfill a greate purpose, when the time comes."
As she said that I felt the chamber began to fade away, the Goddess's form started disappearing into a total darkness. I was left standing alone.
As the chamber faded away, I found myself back surrounded by the witches. They closed in around me, I was scared.
"Aria, you have been chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy," one of them said, her voice was deeo an firm.
"A prophecy that will bring witches back to Beachon City, without fear of slaughter by the Alphas."
I shook my head, trying to understand them "What do you mean?"
I saw another witch stepped forward, her veil rustling softly. "For too long, we've been hunted and killed by the Alphas. But with your power, Aria, we can change that. You have a special gift, one that will allow us to return to our home, Beachon City, without fear of been attack again."
I had a mixed feeling, i was scared and confused.
"What gift are you talking about?"
The witch's eyes seemed to focused on me, I was the central of their attention.
"You are gifted the power that can neutralize the Alphas' strenght and power , Aria. We need you to make them see us as equals that can live the city together, not as prey they should kill. And with your power, we can reclaim our place back in Beachon City, and rebuild our community."
I shook my head, trying to understand what they were actually asking me of.
"I don't know if I can do that. I'm not even sure what you're talking about."
The witches comes around me, their faces hidden behind their veils, I took a step backward,
"You will learn everything very soon , Aria. We will teach you how to control your power, and you will help us reclaim our rightful place in Beachon City."
And with that, they disappeared again , I was left alone and shaken in the darkness
I stood there frozen in the uncertainty of their word, as I couldn't brush their words of my mind. What power did I possess that surpassed the Alphas' strength? And what consequences would I face if I failed to comply with their demands?
As I struggled to understand the whole situation, I heard a faint rustling sound came from the shadows. I turned to see a figure emerging from the darkness. It was Lyrien, his face doesn't look welcoming, he was coming with a gun at hand, as he reached my sight, he aimed at me " just die " he said aiming the gun firmly at me.
