BXBX NOVEL Chapter 340 Pain..You Are Crying...
"Now it will reek of eagles," the old woman frowned and then she looked at Aureus, "Are you with this annoying eagle to learn bad things from him? You should follow the good people as you are young and have a lot to learn."
"I have been with a good people for a long time so I thought I would experience bad company," Aureus replied with a light smile.
The old witch chuckled, "Polite but sweetly whitty like your mother."
Aureus felt glad whenever everyone compared him with his mother and this time it was no different. This way he could know more about his mother than what he already knew.
"Learning bad things is equally important, Zelda," Morpheus said as he was not offended by any of her words and instead enjoyed sarcastic remarks from this old witch. "I am here to let Aureus know about your kind. I hope you won\'t mind."
Zelda sighed, "There is nothing to know about the clan which is already ruined," and then looked at Aureus, "as you are here for the first time, I can look into some things for you that you wish to know."
Aureus offered her a questioning gaze, "I didn\'t understand."
"Your past or your future, anything that is important to you, old memories or if you are looking forward to a certain kind of future for yourself or someone who you want to learn about."
Aureus thought about something, "Can you do that?"
"You can see for yourself," she said and stood up, "seems like there is no rest for me today. Everyone wants to drain the energy out of my soul."
Aureus heard it, "If you are troubled, then...."
"I had enough trouble and adding more to it won\'t affect much," she said, "follow me young one. And Morph, you can make yourself a tea," and she disappeared behind the door behind the thick curtains.
Aureus looked at Morpheus who nodded, assuring him to go, "You know what is important for you and you can look into it. When you go there, you will understand."
Aureus nodded and followed the old lady to the door behind the curtains which opened into the small dark room. With his sharp sight he could see Zelda sitting on the chair across the table with a dark crystal ball in the center.
"Have a seat," she said, singling at the chair in front of her.
Aureus sat in the chair and heard Zelda, "With the help of this crystal ball and my powers, I will look into what you want to know. If there is anything you wish to know, you have to think about it while putting your hands on this ball and then I can see through it. I believe just like every other person, you must have something in mind as well."
Aureus thought about it and nodded. The first thing that came to his mind was Seren. He wondered what was going on with her and what she must be at.
"Put your hands on this, close your eyes and think about anything you have in mind. You can ask me questions that you seek answers for," she instructed.
Not knowing how everything worked, Aureus put his hand on a crystal ball and closed his eyes. Zelda moved her hands around the ball as she mumbled something and then put her hands on the ball as well as she closed her eyes.
After a moment she mumbled, "A beautiful woman with purple eyes."
Aureus heard it as this was what he was thinking about. That beautiful pair of purple eyes which he had not seen for a long time.
Zelda saw something more and she spoke, "You should not feel guilty about it, young one. You seemed to be not even in a situation to help her."
Aureus opened his eyes and looked at the woman who could clearly see and feel as he was at that moment. Aureus was remembering those helpless moments when Seren needed help but he could not help her. When she was scared seeing those mutilated dead bodies and ran for her life and hid inside the wardrobe in her chamber, he could only sit in the window and helplessly look at her.
Due to the spell put on him by Tyra so he wouldn\'t be able to transforming in his human form. She was worried because he was going away from Megaris to an unknown kingdom, and she didn\'t wish him to be in any trouble and reveal his identity by mistake to humans. Dut to that spell, Aureus could not transform and go to Seren and could simply wait in his eagle form for someone to come help her while he accompanied her in silence. Helplessness of that day still haunted and hurt him.
"Hmm, I see feelings...so you love her," Zelda mumbled.
Aureus stayed quiet but then asked, "Can you tell me what is going on with her? Is she alright?"
"For now, she is...but soon, everything will change..."
"What do you mean? She will be fine, right?" he asked worriedly.
"She will be as she is surrounded by strong power and it will protect her. But, she and everyone around her including you will face difficulties that will affect and change your life."
Aureus had nothing more to ask as he was aware what changes would be there. He was about to retreat his hands but Zelda suddenly turned restless.
"What happened?\'\' he asked.
"Pain...I see you in pain and crying."
"Is she hurt? Will she be hurt by something?" he asked as Seren was the only reason he would cry for.
"No, she is not...but you are crying...you..."
