Chapter 11

Far far away, miles and miles away from the city walls, the King Carlucious steps out onto the edge of the highest peak of the highest mountain on Halo island. The sky a mixture of colors as the magic of twilight falls onto the land. The king carefully slips onto his wrist a bracelet, covered in markings from an ancient language, as gentle murmurs of prayer echo through the crisp air. Fingering the beaded work through his fingers, he continues his prayer until a luminescent glow begins to descend from the sky. Falling to his knees letting his prayers grow louder, the light begins to shine brighter, and soon without warning, taking shape into the form of a fairy, emitting a green glow. No distinguishable features apparent, except green eyes peering over at him, as she hovers feet away from him.

Bowing his head down to the ground Carlucious begins to speak, "Guardian of Twilight, master of fate, i humble ask, you permit me a glimpse into my future." The twilight fairy blinks and tell shim with a voice resembling chimes to stand. "Tell me, when will my troubles be at an end?"

She speaks. "Soon..." Carlucious, beside himself with mad joy grins, but is interrupted as he gathers breath to speak. "Soon...great king, your castle will be invaded, you cannot stop it. Soon the light who adores the serpent will join the son of storm, you cannot stop it. The earth will tremble as your rule is brought to an end, you cannot stop it. Fate follows you closely King of Halo Island. And you cannot stop it." And with a blinding flash of green dust, the fairy disappears. Carlucious stands as the night sky creeps closer. Shaking in anger as he whispers to himself, "Foolish witch."
