Chapter 24: The Prophecy Is Uncovered

Helen's POV

I kept thinking about what Leoric had said. A foretelling? My ancestry? I turned to look at him, gasping for air.

"What does a prophecy mean to you?" With a quivering voice, I demanded.

Leoric's eyes were too serene. Helen, your family was always destined for greatness. However, excellence has a price.

I shook my head to comprehend. "Why didn't you inform me earlier?"

Leoric sighed and took a step forward. "Because I was attempting to shield you from the weight of everything." Most people can't handle your destiny and power.

"What is stated in this prophecy?" With my heart pounding, I inquired.

Leoric hesitated, as though he were picking his words wisely. According to the prophecy, a member of your family will become extremely powerful. They will either end up saving their people or destroying them.
