will
determine the destiny for the entire world.”
“What’s mageia ?”
“It
is the Greek word for supernatural powers, or magic. It is a term that has been
used to describe our supernatural abilities throughout time. It is suspected
that the Mythos will determine the
fate of all beings on Earth. Many beings, both dark and light, have speculated
over when this event will occur. Some argue that it will take place when a
great war between light and dark begins. Others wonder if she will cause some
cataclysmic event. No one knows for certain what will happen. There are many
theories and speculations about the prophecy. Even about its legitimacy.
“It
is also suggested that either the light or dark beings will be destroyed. One
thing is certain; she will be influenced by both sides. Depending on her course
of action either the dark or the light beings will feel her wrath.” He turned
back towards Demona.
“What
does this have to do with me and what happened today?”
“You
have shown a great power today, Demona.”
“So,
what? Other beings have powers. I’m not the first.”
Darius
took his seat once more. “Have you ever experienced anything like what
happened, before today?”
“No,
I have no idea. I’m just so confused! All these riddles are just making it
worse,” Demona said.
“I
believe you are the Mythos mentioned
in the prophecy.”
“That’s
insane.” Demona crossed her arms and looked away.
“Do
you want to know why I believe this?”
“I’m
not some powerful being! I don’t care what you say!”
“You
were only turned two years ago. All beings gradually come into their mageia after a few decades, if they have
one. A person’s mageia can increase
over the years with training. We learn to use them, strengthen them, and
control them. Never has a new vampire shown such strength upon discovering
their mageia . Never so early and
never so powerful.”
“I
think you are crazy! I don’t think I have any mageia . It was just the wind, not me.”
“No,
you are mistaken,” Darius said. “When Kerrick and I spoke earlier I asked him
about the incident. He informed me that he saw what had happened. He had
already subdued the female wolf and was getting ready to assist you with Lobo.
He said you were surrounded by a roaring wind, and he was unable to get closer
to you. The wind kept blowing him back.
“He
said after you put Lobo and his alpha in the car he went back to clean up the
area and he examine the fallen tree. The tree trunk was still alive; there was
no sign of rot. The roots were still firmly in the ground, no amount of erosion
or softened soil had affected it. The tree had broken in half. There are only
two ways I know of a healthy tree falling like that, and that is by being
chopped down or snapped by wind shear. There is no other rational explanation.
It had to be your mageia .
“The
amount of strength you showed, with the wind shear, gives me reason to believe
that you are the Mythos . The tree
breaking in half only goes to support my theory. You may have been experiencing
small forms of your mageia for some
time without realizing it, especially if you are controlling wind. You may have
become angry or afraid and then a slight breeze brushed by you. If outdoors you
would have shrugged it off as simply the breeze,” Darius said.
“This
is ridiculous, I’m just me! Clumsy, forgetful, and lazy! I’m not special and, I
refuse to believe that I’ll be some destroyer of beings!” How can he think this about me? I don’t want a responsibility like
this! I just want to be left alone! I never asked to be a vampire!
“Get
yourself home. Take tomorrow off. I want you back to work on Monday with a
clear head. Prophecy or not, you are Kerrick’s partner now. Do you understand?”
Demona
did not respond, she turned and stormed out of the office. She marched out of
the building. Someone grabbed her by the arm and she went to swing a fist in
the direction of her
