A Promise is a Promise.

"The dark lord was once a righteous witch, he was the head of the fire witches just like you. He turned Unrighteous since after he lost Laura, Laura gave birth to the baby and died. The dark Lord completely lost his senses when he found out his beloved was dead. He told the righteous witches council about it they all grieved with him so he brought up an idea about using the 'Raven seed' to raise her, he told them the seed was powerful enough to heal or raise the dead, regrettably they all discorded with him saying it was too risky. The seed isn't meant to raise the dead or healing; it only rhymed well with the Ravened alone; if he used it on her nobody knew the outcome it would result in. it got him really livid so he launched an attack on the righteous witches council with the help of some fire witches one fateful day, he made away with the seed to perform a ritual with the help of a necromancer he brought along, he performed the ritual biddings successfully it brought her back to life, but she wasn't the same. His body couldn't take in the damages the seed did to him so it changed his fire power into larva not like the fire powers you have. He wasn't the Ravened he was supposed to die but how he was able to live bewildered everyone, When the head of the other witches council got to him. He was found helplessly on the ground. The righteous witches council found Laura but it was too late; he had already performed the ritual. They fought and conquered her. The witches council had no other choice than to kill Laura, she wasn't an earth witch anymore, she turned into a monster. The dark lord was captured back to the witches council and locked up in the headquarters torture chamber along with his armies of fire witches that helped him escaped. He managed to escape with the help of the new power the seed gave him along with his armies of fire witches. He left and decided to create his own world and come back for his revenge, He wanted to avenge Laura, his beloved and destroy the whole world with larva sparing his armies or anyone who chose to serve him or face his wrath. Some righteous witches joined in fear the Ravened wouldn't be able to defeat him but the Ravened stopped him sending him to Tartarus so now I'm thinking he wants to use his child to get vengeance for himself, these were my mom's last words before she died" Agnes explained the whole details to Freya leaving her dumbfounded. That's when Freya understood why the dark days are going to occur again. The dark lord plans to use his child to destroy the world if he couldn't do it himself this time around. Now she knows she has to start searching for the child but where?.

"I have to leave now, I need to go home".

"Oka….you..c...an go.." Freya stammered trying to process what she just listened to.

"Are you okay, you don't seem fine" Agnes checked up on Freya whose countenance changed after listening to the whole story.

"I'm alright you can go, thanks for coming".

**********************

Few minutes later.

"Freya is lost in thought parading her bureau up and down, fracking her brains to process all the details she received from Agnes not sensing Mia entering into the bureau.

"Freya, Freya, Freya are you okay" Mia echoed to her repeatedly, Freya didn't flinch till Mia touched her.

"God you scared me when did you get in?" Freya jerked away from Mia's touch.

"Uhm.. hello I was in this room about five minutes ago and you didn't even notice".

"Sorry I didn't see you coming in".

"What got your mind this worked up Freya? The last time I saw you this way was when Sam died" Mia inquired from Freya, examining her. She was right about that since the day Sam died Freya felt guilt blaming herself to be the cause of Sam's death, Mia always consoled her telling her it wasn't her fault but Freya never listened. She would lock herself up in her bureau anytime Felix came visiting the witches council after Sam's death; she couldn't face him; it took years for Freya to finally let go of the guilt, heal herself of the guilt and let the past be bygone.

"I got something to tell you".

"Am listening".

"Agn…" Freya tried spilling the conversation she had with Agnes a few moments ago to Mia but remembered her promise to Agnes.

"It's nothing." She lied through her teeth trying to hide the truth from Mia.

"What's it Freya, Are you hiding something from me?" Mia asked Freya with hands akimbo on her waist.

"No it's nothing" Freya lied again.

"You sure there's nothing to say and you are totally okay?" she asked again, settling her arms she set a kimbo down her waist.

"There isn't, I'm okay" Freya countered. Mia endeavored to leave the bureau by remembering something she reverted back to Freya's side.

"Hey Freya?" 

"Yes mia?".

"Tomorrow's the date of the day the  last righteous witches and Ravened defeated the dark lord we are hosting a ritual festival in honour of their remembrance don't tell me you have forgotten" Mia notified Freya who's been acting weirdly since today.

"Of course not why would I forget a day like tomorrow, you are talking forgetting the festival can't hold if I am not present but thanks for helping me recall anyways" Freya appreciated mia taking her hands into hers.

"You are welcome" Mia accepted her appreciation.

"Thanks for always being there for me. You are not just my number one supporter but a sister too".

"You are welcomed again". Mia said giggling. Freya couldn't help but join her giggling like kids that won free candies. 

"I have to go now" Mia mentioned.

"Okay see you later". 

With Mia departing from the room, Freya took a deep breath relaxing on her huge seat the size of a king's throne. It suited her perfectly to be precise; after all, she deserved it. She's in charge. She really wanted to tell Mia about her conversation with Agnes but then she couldn't back down on her promise to Agnes, she wasn't that type of person. A promise is a promise.
