14- You are Extraordinary
Everly
“Azrael and his brothers eventually died, giving up their gift of immortality. Apollo took the throne, and the creatures of Magic continued to evolve and prosper. Apollo and several of his cousins all met their destined mates and continued their lives in our Utopian society.
Those supernatural creatures who chose to remain in the Terra Realm were cut off from the magic source. At that moment, every supernatural creature became mortal and, in essence, human. They Inst their gills, powers, and strengths.
Meanwhile, the daughter of Azrael and Elania lived a quiet human life, raised by the young maiden and her husband. She grew up, married, and had several children of her own, and the lineage continued growing as the centuries passed.
I have been around since before the first Dragons. I saw all that has come to pass and all that shall be
Well, over ten thousand earth years ago, I had a vision. The vision showed a great war with so much bloodshed covered in darkness, grief, and peace in the lands. I saw a girl with green and blue eyes, a golden dragon mark, and a crown. She was the only one who could quench the burning inferno of a mighty dragon shifter,
This vision plagued my mind each year. Almost six thousand years ago or so, I stopped getting the visions after Azrael sealed the Terra Realm.
Then three thousand years ago, I saw the same vision, but this time, I saw a young maiden in clothing I had never seen before, leaning over a baby, reciting the words of Elania: May your blood bring peace upon the realms. May the Magic of Old forever protect you, my sweet child. May we meet again one day‘
I saw the blinding light and a dragon mark on her wrist disappear. Then, I saw great darkness covering the lands. The tendrils of the shadows took many forms, and out of the shadows came a blaze as bright as the sun. Six mighty dragons surrounded a maiden with blood of old magic, fire red hair, a golden dragon mark, and green and blue eyes,
Only she could quench the inferno that blazed around them, and true power could be found with her. A voice spoke to me: The Darkness rising in the shadows can only be defeated by the one who con quench the fire of House Azrael. The world shall burn, and blood will bring peace. The movie inside my head faded, and my vision became normal.
Then Gracie spoke again. “I had the same vision on the day of your births, my kings, and then I received it again eighteen years ago, too. I did not quite understand all of this until twenty days ago when I received another vision of a girl, and the voice spoke to me again, telling me her name and showed her at the Hall, and a golden crown was sitting on her head. I knew she was exceptional; I felt she was a fated mate to one of you, my Kings.
1 searched all the records and finally found you, my dear Everly, on your eighteenth birthday. I quickly made the arrangements so you could come to the ball, and it was a perfect excuse to see if you were destined to be mated to someone. The moment Lucien announced you as his mate, the memory of my most haunted visions came to my mind and confirmed my suspicions.
Once you recognized her as your fated mate, I knew my visions were finally coming to fruition.
There is still much to learn and a great many obstacles to be uncovered and overcome. When the time is right, the answers you seek will find you. But know this: Darkness is gaining strength. I can feel him growing as I did when your ancestors were alive, and he will not stop. If you get too close to the fire, you can burn, Gracie said, finishing her tale.
“So you really think this prophecy is about us?” I asked no one in particular. “I mean, you said it yourself that the girl would have red hair and heterochromia eyes, and it was the same girl from that vision I was with you. Thave neither of those features. And that girl was a warrior; she was so strong, I could feel her power, her love, I am just a simple human girl.”
*You are anything but simple, my dear child, Gracie says solemnly. She reaches out for my hand and smiles. “There is so much more to discover, and 1 find that all will reveal itself in time. The ancient magks chose you for a reason. I have never experienced things that happened today in all my centuries of walking between the realms. You are extraordinary, Everly. For that, I am certain.” She was so sincere. I felt a tear streak down my face.
Without any more words, she stood up, made her way to each of my mates, and kissed them on the cheeks before stopping at me. She kissed me on my forehead, and I felt that same motherly, sale connection coursing through my veins. She then vanished.
“Holy Sweet Potato Pie?” I shouted, slightly startling myself and everyone around me. They all chuckled at me.
After a few moments of silence, I said, “Well, that was certainly not the morning I had expected =
“I promise you, little one, it is not always entertaining Octavius smiled at me while he rose and came over to me. “Til see you later for dinner. I have
pinched his ass cheek. Oh my, it did feel nice!
He jumped a little and looked behind me, and I gave him the best innocent fier Leould muster.
*You are playing with fire, little one,” he playfully warned me. Even though he tried to hide it, I saw the nice bulge straining against his ripper
“I guess it’s a good thing I like to play with Dragons,” I answer back with a hit of extra sass and a very obvious flirty wink
He winks back and begins to chuckle, as do all the others. He walks away and into the castle. Lucien soon followed him try explaining he had some paperwork to work on. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. “Watch out, little one, our dragons also like to hite, and you are the tastiest treat of all” He kissed me on my very red cheeks before sauntering off with a bit of pep. The others went back to their breakfast.
“We have the rest of the day to show you the gardens. We thought we would show you some of our favorite spots and then have a picnic in the faery fly grove.” Alexander takes my hand, and we start walking towards the beautiful marble staircase that descends into the vast, breathtaking scenery. That sounds perfect,” I say to him and Tristian, smiling brightly. I feel the warm sun on my skin and lots of heat everywhere the as these two beautiful men entangle themselves with me, and we make our way to my first official date!
