Permission Granted

Amara's POV

I waited for Prince Ben to come, yet he never came until the darkness enveloped the entire forest, I went home with a heavy heart. It makes me wonder why the Prince didn't show up. I should have not sent him away this morning, but I am so worried about the safety of the students of the Erthesia academy, though I know they are safe because the Headmaster is protecting them. But what if he is engaged with another matter?

I am overwhelmed that Princess Alana has plans for me, yet I am still hesitant about it; I don't want my sister to perish because of me, but I can tell she is determined to do it on my behalf. What if none of us is the chosen one? It even scared me to death. I just know her and I can't let her die. I felt excited and afraid simultaneously, I don't know how I am going to convince my aunt I am not the future Deity. I realize she won't listen to me, but I will nevertheless try.
