but may the soul of my child return to these lands. May she carry the wisdom of her father, while harboring the strength of my dragon blood. She will return not as a supernatural but will run through the bloodline of your family. The blood of your own that lays upon our lands will seal my declaration in brittle stone."
It made perfect sense now. Her words made all of us gawk in shock as it clicked.
Cassandra...is the unborn child?
Wilfried only laughed harder as he countered, "You believe that dead child in your womb will return within MY family bloodline? My powerful line of superior royals and dragons and won't be a supernatural? Did my strike of lighting destroy your senses? Or is it all the hopes and dreams that waste of a man has drilled into your dumb brain that has left you in this pitiful state of confusion?"
"My child will return as someone you'll least expect, and I swear to protect them...no matter what land my soul returns to," she determined with confidence.
Wilfried shook his head as he approached them, and he pulled his sword out with a sly grin upon his lips. "If a child ever existed, I'd kill it," he vowed.
"The creator of this universe...the queen...the alpha of ultimate power...won't allow it. You can try, but I vow with my body, blood, and soul...our unborn child will return, and will return to these very lands to rule. To surpass you. To ruin you and all your dare to dream. You've killed us today, Wilfried... But one day...one day we'll be victorious...and with victory...will come peace. I swear."
Wilfried merely shook his head as he prepared for their end - his sword lifting up high as he gave the widest smile while his eyes shone with malicious glee.
"It will never happen," he vowed. "Farewell, Queen Quilzurashi. May the dragon kingdom never see the likes of you and your tainted power again."
The vision faded before we could witness their ends, returning us back into the dimly lit room. None of us could say anything, and I could feel Otis’s burning anger. Our hate for Wilfried and our desire for revenge for what he pulled back at the funeral was already strong, but now it was fuming with the need for our utmost attention.
"Cassandra was the unborn child and her dragon is her mother from her past life, the queen of these very lands," Omarion concluded. "That's why Cassandra was guided here. Is this why we were told to come to these lands to seek refuge?"
"Yes," King Wyatt replied. "With recent events that have spread nationwide and the concern of where Cassandra stood with the nation and your deaths, the world is split between those who want to help Cassandra and those who are on the hunt to destroy her in allegiance to Wilfried, thanks to his brainwashing. It was planned with the other royals to send a message to Marigold to encourage you all to come to these lands. It would make sense, seeing as this place is one no one would dare enter. Perfect hiding place."
"If you guys knew this...witnessed that vision you just showed us," Tristian began. "Why isn't Wilfried behind bars? Especially when he then decided to interfere with your marriage, locked your eldest in prison for an act he didn't commit, separated your twin daughters, and is now trying to kill your whole generation or at least use them for the Great Summoning so he can seal the world's fate in endless misery."
"In supernatural law, when there isn't a physical witness to see the death of a royal, you need three seers to confirm the death or deaths that occurred upon the land. We may have had the sword from my family heritage as evidence, but during those times when our father was alive, he argued that the murderer could have stolen the sword to frame Wilfried. Though we had one of the best psychic predictors in the royal ranks on our side, we needed two more seers to enter the land and conduct the same procedure. However, all those who tried to enter the land either barely escaped its grasps or never returned."
"So because of this law, he couldn't be charged as guilty of such a crime?" Dominick questioned. He looked furious and damn right disappointed with such a bullshit excuse. I couldn't blame him because it was true shit. Supernatural psychics weren't like normal human ones. Seers and such were strong and could see
